Synopsis "A Midsummer Night's Dream (Hardcover Library Edition)"
First published in 1600, 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' is a comic fiction by William Shakespeare, an English playwright, poet, and actor. He is widely considered the most splendid writer in the English language and the world's most remarkable dramatist. The play depicts the events encompassing the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and Hippolyta. These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors, who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set. The characters find themselves in a situation that completely changes their lives. In the play, several plot lines are closely intertwined with each other and affect each other. The main conflict of the play is a quarrel between the king of the elves of Oberon and his wife, Queen Titania. The play is one of Shakespeare's most popular works on the stage and is widely performed across the world.

William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, c. 23 de abril de 1564jul. - Ibídem, 23 de abril/3 de mayo de 1616) fue un dramaturgo, poeta y actor inglés. Conocido en ocasiones como el Bardo de Avon (o simplemente el Bardo), se le considera el escritor más importante en lengua inglesa y uno de los más célebres de la literatura universal.
Según la Encyclopædia Britannica, «Shakespeare es generalmente reconocido como el más grande de los escritores de todos los tiempos, figura única en la historia de la literatura. La fama de otros poetas, tales como Homero y Dante Alighieri, o de novelistas tales como León Tolstoy o Charles Dickens, ha trascendido las barreras nacionales, pero ninguno de ellos ha llegado a alcanzar la reputación de Shakespeare, cuyas obras hoy se leen y representan con mayor frecuencia y en más países que nunca. La profecía de uno de sus grandes contemporáneos, Ben Jonson, se ha cumplido por tanto: "Shakespeare no pertenece a una sola época sino a la eternidad"».
