SINOPSIS:

For centuries, Shakespeare’s wit, immediacy of action, lively plots, and subtle characterizations have made him infinitely accessible and continually captivating. William Shakespeare: The Complete Works is presented for those who want to own everything the great master has written. Complete with many rare and beautifully evocative illustrations, in an attractive, easy-to-read format, this splendid volume brings Shakespeare’s most popular and enduring plays as close as a nearby bookshelf.

Readers will find such comedic treasures as the delightful verbal sparring between Petruchio and Katherina in The Taming of the Shrew; the Fairy Queen Titania’s stormy relationship with Oberon in A Midsummer Night’s Dream; and the determined avoidance of love by the madcap lovers Beatrice and Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing. In the history plays are found such gems as the malevolent brilliance of the scheming Richard III; the rousing spectacle of Henry V leading his victorious army into France; and wayward young Prince Hal’s hilarious encounters with the farcical figure of Falstaff in Henry IV, First Part.

It is in the tragedies that Shakespeare brings to bear the full force of his dramatic instinct and penetrating psychological insight, revealing to the reader how man, in his infinitely complex existence, struggles between the opposing forces of good and evil. Here is Hamlet, the heroic Dane, unable to avenge his father’s murder, riddled by indecision and self-doubt; Macbeth, the king whose vaulting ambition leads him to ruin; King Lear, who is blinded by appearances and, consequently, blind to reality; and Romeo and Juliet, the “star-cross’d lovers” led into a tangled web of family antagonisms, murder, and eventual suicide. Here, too, are Shakespeare’s lyrical and lovely sonnets, including the superb “Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day?”

This elegant edition of William Shakespeare: The Complete Works will be treasured by anyone who loves great literature, exciting drama, and incomparable poetry.
