dbo:abstract
  • El bufón es la undécima novela de Christopher Moore, publicada en su versión original el 10 de febrero de 2009. La novela parte del argumento de la obra teatral de William Shakespeare, El Rey Lear, pero es narrada desde la perspectiva del personaje del bufón de la corte, al que Moore da el nombre de Bolsillo. Durante el curso de la novela, encontramos referencias a otras obras de Shakespeare, desde meras citas, hasta personajes, destacando las brujas de Macbeth. Aunque el estilo de El Bufón está dirigido principalmente a un público americano, el autor incorpora en ocasiones también algo de vocabulario Shakesperiano, sintaxis arcaica, y jerga británica moderna, así como extrañas referencias culturales a la vida de la Edad Media, que son explicadas en notas a pie de página. Además, Moore inventa muchos nombres de localizaciones de la historia parodiando el estilo de los nombres de lugares británicos. (es)
  • Fool (deutsch: Narr, Dummkopf) ist der elfte Roman des US-amerikanischen Autors Christopher Moore, der 2009 erschien. Thema des Buches sind die an die Handlung von Shakespeares König Lear angelehnten, jedoch keineswegs mit ihr identischen Geschehnisse – beschrieben aus der Sicht von Lears Hofnarr, der bei Moore den Namen Pocket trägt.

  • Fool is a novel by American writer Christopher Moore, released on February 10, 2009. The novel takes its premise from the plot of Shakespeare's play King Lear, narrated from the perspective of the character of the Fool, whose name is Pocket. In the course of the novel are references to other Shakespeare plays, ranging from short quotations to whole characters—most notably the three witches from Macbeth. While the style of Fool is directed at an American audience, the author incorporates at times Shakespearean vocabulary, archaic syntax, and modern British slang, and obscure cultural terms relating to medieval life, which are explained in footnotes. In addition, Moore invents humorous British-style place-names for fictitious locations in the story. This novel was followed by a sequel, The Serpent of Venice, released in 2014, which combines characters and plot elements from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice and Othello, and Poe's The Cask of Amontillado, while keeping the perspective of Pocket. A second sequel, Shakespeare for Squirrels, places Pocket into a milieu based on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. (en)
