Synopsis "Cimbelino (in Spanish)"

Cimbelino, rey de Inglaterra, cuyos dos hijos han crecido exiliados en Gales, destierra a Posthumus a Italia por haberse casado con su bella hija Imogen, a quien la segunda esposa del rey había destinado a su necio hijo Cloten. El amor de ambos jóvenes enfrenta todo tipo de obstáculos e intrigas planeadas por el villano Giacomo y la madrastra malvada, y culmina con el rechazo de una invasión romana, la reaparición de los honestos hermanos de Imogen, la confesión de Giacomo y la feliz reunión de los amantes. Obra compleja por su densidad metafórica, Cimbelino es, a pesar de la profusión de elementos típicos del cuento de hadas, una tragedia política. Imogen simboliza el alma de Inglaterra, que debe elevarse por encima de la vieja y corrupta corte de Londres y el poder papista de Italia para renacer, fuerte e independiente, a partir de sus antiguas raíces célticas.

William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, c. April 23, 1564jul. - Ibid., April 23/May 3, 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor. Often known as the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard), he is considered the most important writer in the English language and one of the most famous in world literature.

According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, "Shakespeare is generally acknowledged as the greatest of all time writers, a unique figure in the history of literature. The fame of other poets, such as Homer and Dante Alighieri, or novelists such as Leo Tolstoy or Charles Dickens, has transcended national barriers, but none has achieved the reputation of Shakespeare, whose works today are read and performed more frequently and in more countries than ever. The prophecy of one of his great contemporaries, Ben Jonson, has thus been fulfilled: 'Shakespeare does not belong to one age but to eternity'".

Among his most notable works are Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. His ability to portray the complexities of human nature, along with his mastery in the use of verse and language, has made him a timeless figure.
