Riassunto

Four hundred years ago, on May 20th 1609, the publisher Thomas Thorpe entered at Stationers’ Hall perhaps the most famous group of poems ever written: The Sonnets of William Shakespeare. This anniversary edition contains the full cycle of 154 sonnets, gorgeously written verses that deal with love, desire, jealousy, betrayal, melancholy?all the emotions that make us human. From ?the darling buds of May” to ?the chronicle of wasted time” they resonate with unfulfilled longing. As Shakespeare himself wrote: So long as men can breath and eyes can see, so long lives this...” The world's greatest works of literature are now available in these beautiful keepsake volumes. Bound in real cloth, and featuring gilt edges and ribbon markers, these beautifully produced books are a wonderful way to build a handsome library of classic literature. These are the essential novels that belong in every home. They'll transport readers to imaginary worlds and provide excitement, entertainment, and enlightenment for years to come. All of these novels feature attractive illustrations and have an unequalled period feel that will grace the library, the bedside table or bureau.

L'autore:

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, in 1564. The date of his birth is not known but is traditionally 23 April, St George's Day. Aged 18, he married a Stratford farmer's daughter, Anne Hathaway. They had three children. Around 1585 William joined an acting troupe on tour in Stratford from London, and thereafter spent much of his life in the capital. A member of the leading theatre group in London, the Chamberlain's Men, which built the Globe Theatre and frequently performed in front of Queen Elizabeth I, Shakespeare wrote 36 plays and much poetry besides. He died in 1616.
