ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A carefully crafted bilingual edition of the most celebrated tragedy in literature. With an introduction by Adrian Poole, professor at Cambridge Trinity College. Edited by Josep Maria Jaum`a, professor at the Universitat Aut`onoma de Barcelona.

Time has not healed the wounds of the Montague and the Capulet, two Verona families estranged by long-standing disputes whose origins almost no one can remember. With hate came violence, with violence came the first innocent victims. But this hatred also emerged from the love of two young people destined to misery: Romeo and Juliet. Theirs is one of the most popular stories of all time, and their tragic outcome has become a landmark of world literature, "for never was a story of much woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo."

Presented in the extraordinary version of translator Josep Maria Jaum`a, this bilingual edition opens with an enlightening introduction by Adrian Poole, professor at Cambridge Trinity College, that brings us closer to this song of youth, passion, love, and the inescapable dangers of hate.
