Definitive, comprehensive, and handsome edition presents every one of Shakespeare's great plays-the Comedies, Tragedies and Histories-plus his poems and, of course, the Sonnets. All in one beautifully illustrated volume. B&W illustrations throughout. 1248 pages.
Discusses changing interpretations of Shakespeare and his plays through the centuries, arguing that claims of his uniqueness reflect the characteristics of particular eras and critics more than Shakespeare.
Love and hate, loyalty and treachery, cruelty and self-sacrifice: all these contend in a tempestuous drama which has become an enduring classic of the world's literature.
Paré de toutes les vertus royales et chevaleresques, Henry V est le héros par excellence. Chef militaire vainqueur, soutenant l'assaut au milieu de ses troupes, il sait aussi courtiser Catherine de France, qu'il épouse pour sceller la paix retrouvée. Mais l'apparat glorieux de la geste épique ne parvient pas à faire oublier les implications tragiques du pouvoir royal et de ses responsabilités.
While Tom is at work in London, his wife Marina is left bored and alone in the small village where they live. She wishes for someone to do the housework for her and a strange thing happens. Her wish comes true; the Ironing Man enters her life, and everything begins to change for both Marina and Tom.
A reference for the student or general reader, here are Shakespeare's complete works in one 1,032 page volume.
