To mark the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's and Miguel de Cervantes' deaths in 2016, six Anglophone writers take inspiration from Cervantes, while six contemporary Spanish-language writers have written stories inspired by Shakespeare. The writers are Kamila Shamsie; Ben Okri; Deborah Levy; Yuri Herrera; Marcos Giralt Torrente; Juan Gabriel Vasquez; Vicente Molina Foix; Soledad Puertolas; Hisham Matar; Nell Leyson; Rhidian Brook and Valeria Luiselli. Tying in with Hay Festival's 2016 theme, this anthology offers twelve acclaimed contemporary writers' new takes on two giants of world literature.

Industry Reviews

'These amazing new stories are not only a tribute to Cervantes and Shakespeare from some of the best contemporary authors writing in English and Spanish, they are also a tribute to the power of translation.' Cristina Fuentes La Roche, Director, Hay Festival Americas

-- Cristina Fuentes Roche

'A splendid homage to two visionaries'

-- Boyd Tonkin

'Some of the brightest lights in contemporary fiction celebrate the timelessness of Shakespeare and Cervantes . . . these stories [are] fresh and exciting. Much of this comes from the diversity of writer backgrounds on show, and their style and traditions add a wealth of interpretation and perspective.'

-- Graeme Smith * Herald Scotland *

'These stories range far and wide . . . a notable collection, with a welcome international focus.'

* Publishers Weekly *
