Si en la literatura universal existen algunos autores prodigiosos cuyo atractivo artístico y literario no hace sino crecer con el paso del tiempo, es indudable que el escritor inglés William Shakespeare es uno de ellos. El genio de Shakespeare ha trascendido épocas, países y lenguas, hasta el punto de que sus obras resuenan en la cultura occidental con un lenguaje y una amplitud semejantes a los que poseen los mitos más antiguos.

I definitely want to check out Chaucer's tales now.
