William Shakespare

a cura di A. Finotto e J. Pignet
 Romeo and Juliet's love is stronger than the hatred between their families, the Montagues and the Capulets. But the feud of the two noble Veronese houses will also involve the two young lovers tragically.
 The great Shakespearean tragedy about love has been written in narrative form in this reader rich in activities and extensions. There are also references to the later theatrical, cinema and musical works on the same theme.
 At the end of the book selected and adapted passages for class or theatre laboratory dramatisation can be found.
