Shakespeare is considered one of the most important writers of all time. His texts are truly art.
He was born in April 23, 1564, in the little city of Stratford-upon-Avon. When he was 26 years old, he started to write his first play.
During his life, he wrote about love, relationships, feelings, social questions, political themes and others points of the human condition. And even though they were written a long time ago, his texts talk about subjects that will always be up to date. Because of this, he became very important.
