Shakespeare.
I can think of others, too.
I have heard a lot of my favourite authors read from their works: Dorothy Dunnett, Guy Gavriel Kay, Karin Lowachee. It was wonderful.

Date: 2008-11-06 05:59 pm (UTC)A week ago I went to a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream that was partly translated into Hindi, Sanskrit, Bengali, Tamil, and a few other Indian languages. I couldn't understand any of them - I couldn't even tell which were Indo-European and which weren't - but it was lovely to hear, and the acting was so good, the meaning came across. Just not the words.
Language is a funny thing.
