What is the best translation of "del quale"?
Hi!
I don't know how translate this sentence: "Shakespeare, del quale ho letto tutti i libri, è il mio scrittore preferito". In general, "del quale" is equal to English "whose", but in this case it doesn't sound good...
Thanks in advance for your answer!

To incorporate the word "whose", you can write it like this: Shakespeare, all of whose plays/works I have read, is my favourite writer. : Shakespeare is my favourite writer, and I have read all of his plays/works. While I suppose "libri" would normally be translated as "books", in this case it sounds slightly odd since he was primarily a playwright.
