Sinopsis

This isáRomeo and Julietáas youâÇÖve never experienced it before...By the time William Shakespeare penned the first words of the most famous romantic tragedy of our time, another storyteller had already writtenáRomeo and Juliet. In fact, Matteo BandelloâÇÖs stories had been translated into multiple languages across Europe before the doomed lovers inspired Shakespeare to create his world-famous play.In this edition, BandelloâÇÖs original tale has been translated and formatted for the modern reader. In contrast to Shakespearean English, BandelloâÇÖs beautiful writing has a clarity and directness through which we hear, as never before, the words a real Romeo and Juliet might have said to each other. The star-crossed lovers we know are there, just as in the play, but their troubles are set in a real Verona, that Bandello knew personally.As the tragedy unfolds to its bitter end, BandelloâÇÖs heartrending story offers readers a more intimate experience of the anguish and joys that captured Shakespeare and an entire continent. Hidden for years in the ivory towers of scholarly study, BandelloâÇÖs influential tale finds new life in Michael CurtottiâÇÖs translation for students and lovers of literature alike.This isáRomeo and Julietáas youâÇÖve never experienced it before...By the time William Shakespeare penned the first words of the most famous romantic tragedy of our time, another storyteller had already writtenáRomeo and Juliet.
