Waiting for Godot: A Tragicomedy in Two Acts by Samuel Beckett


From an inauspicious beginning at the tiny Left Bank Theatre de Babylone in 1953, followed by bewilderment among American and British audiences, Waiting for Godot has become of the most important and enigmatic plays of the past fifty years and a cornerstone of twentieth-century drama. As Clive Barnes wrote, “Time catches up with genius … Waiting for Godot is one of the masterpieces of the century.”

The story revolves around two seemingly homeless men waiting for someone—or something—named Godot. Vladimir and Estragon wait near a tree, inhabiting a drama spun of their own consciousness. The result is a comical wordplay of poetry, dreamscapes, and nonsense, which has been interpreted as mankind’s inexhaustible search for meaning. Beckett’s language pioneered an expressionistic minimalism that captured the existential post-World War II Europe. His play remains one of the most magical and beautiful allegories of our time.

Shakespeare's Sonnets

Introduction to Shakespeare's Sonnets
The Sonnets are Shakespeare's most popular works, and a few of them, such as Sonnet 18 (Shall I compare thee to a summer's day), Sonnet 116 (Let me not to the marriage of true minds), and Sonnet 73 (That time of year thou mayst in me behold), have become the most widely-read poems in all of English literature.
Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets, likely composed over an extended period from 1592 to 1598, the year in which Francis Meres referred to Shakespeare's "sugred sonnets":
The witty soul of Ovid lives in mellifluous & honey-tongued Shakespeare, witness his Venus and Adonis, his Lucrece, his sugared sonnets among his private friends, &c. (Palladis Tamia: Wit's Treasury)

Composition Date of the Sonnets 

In 1609 Thomas Thorpe published Shakespeare's sonnets, no doubt without the author's permission, in quarto format, along with Shakespeare's long poem, The Passionate Pilgrim. The sonnets were dedicated to a W. H., whose identity remains a mystery, although William Herbert, the Earl of Pembroke, is frequently suggested because Shakespeare's First Folio (1623) was also dedicated to him.

El Hobbit (Español) (Inglés)

Bilbo Bolsón es como cualquier hobbit: no mide más de metro y medio, vive pacíficamente en la Comarca, y su máxima aspiración es disfrutar de los placeres sencillos de la vida (comer bien, pasear y charlar con los amigos). Y es que todos ellos son tan vagos como bonachones, por naturaleza, y porque quieren. Pero una soleada mañana, Bilbo recibe la inesperada visita de Gandalf, el mago de larga barba gris y alto sombrero, que cambiará su vida para siempre.      
 
Con Gandalf y una pandilla de trece enanos, y con la ayuda de un mapa misterioso, nuestro héroe partirá hacia la Montaña Solitaria a fin de rescatar el valioso tesoro custodiado por Smaug el Dorado, un terrible y enorme dragón. Para eso tendrán que superar muchísimos peligros y toda clase de aventuras que Bilbo jamás hubiera podido ni imaginar y que lo convertirán en el hobbit más famoso del mundo. Lo que Bilbo no sabe es que el anillo que encontró en el camino será el principio de otra gran aventura… la de El Señor de los Anillos.
