traductions existantes de "Julius Caesar" Je n'aipas chez moi de version bilingue de la pièce :-( La traduction communément utilisée pendant très longtemps était celle de François-Victor Hugo"Le mal que font les hommes vit après eux" ; mais je ne trouve pas sur internet la traduction de Jean-Michel Deprats, plus récente, et qui a été jugée excellente...

Shakespeare "The evil that men do lives after them. The good is oft interred with their bones. So may it be with Caesar..."

Selected

le mal que font les hommes leur survit

If read as a quote from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.

The target term is from the published translation by Chatelain.
But there is also other translations, I think on books.google also.
