Shakespeare S Tragedies: Macbeth, Othello, King Lear and Hamlet: Slip-Case Edition - Tapa dura
Reseña del editor
Four of the most important plays ever written, each one a masterpiece in human psychology, with a flawed yet fascinating main character at its heart. In more than five hundred years the characters that inhabit the tragedies of William Shakespeare have not been equalled in English literature. Macbeth: a study in overweening pride, driven to commit regicide and ultimately to despotism by an ambitious, scheming wife Othello: an outwardly strong man, a leader, brought to self-destruction by a series of lies cunningly orchestrated by a trusted confidant King Lear: one of literatures's most complex characters, his contradictions are laid bare with forensic detail Hamlet: a prince full of faults and yet, as with Lear, we feel his pain and his dilemmas.
Biografía del autor
William Shakespeare is perhaps the world’s greatest literary figure, famed for his insights into the human condition and yet very little is actually known about his life. Records show that he was baptised at Stratford-upon-Avon during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I in 1564. He married Anne Hathaway at the age of 18 and had three children with her. At some point he went to London and found his way into the theatrical profession, as an actor, playwright, poet and, latterly, theatre manager and impresario. Shakespeare’s various enterprises brought him wealth, and he used his money to secure his family’s position, acquiring property in London as well as back home in Stratford. He died in April 1616, aged 52. The body of work left by Shakespeare included 37plays, four poems and a collection of sonnets.
