From the back cover:
Julien Delval takes possession of this timeless drama, bringing you along through phantasmal and baroque Venice and Cyprus to make you feel the passion and jealousy which took over Shakespeare's characters.
A true classic of English literature, Othello or The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice has influenced numerous artists and authors throughout the ages since its publication. With this work, Julien Delval takes his place among them.
As a talented painter and illustrator, he explores ancient, mythological, and fantastic worlds, taking his inspiration from the 19th century's classical paintings to bring us into the heart of his unique universe.
The play is set in motion when Othello, a heroic black general in the service of Venice, appoints Cassio and not Iago as his chief lieutenant. Jealous of Othello's success and envious of Cassio, Iago plots Othello's downfall by falsely implicating Othello's wife, Desdemona, and Cassio in a love affair. With the unwitting aid of Emilia, his wife, and the willing help of Roderigo, a fellow malcontent, Iago carries out his plan.
