William Shakespeare

"One may smile, and smile, and be a villain." -Hamlet, Prince of Denmark"Hamlet holds a mirror up to our lives, for we too must act in a fallen world, even when the way is unclear and when our proof is dismissed by others. We too are called to kill serpents, to 'lose all' for the kingdom. Because it takes great courage to confront the enemy head on and might cost us our reputation or our lives, we, like Hamlet, would rather think and play with words than act." -From Jayson Grieser's Introduction"Prince Hamlet discovers that his father was murdered by his uncle Claudius-who is now on his father's throne and his father's bed. When he is charged with vengeance by his father's ghost, Hamlet coldly plans the killing even as he questions his dark role as avenger. After he accidentally kills the wrong man, Hamlet flirts with insanity, old lovers, and sychophantic courtiers while the whole Danish court destabilizes around him.

K 400-letiju so dnja smerti U. Shekspira vpervye vyshel poeticheskij perevod na russkij jazyk "Tragicheskoj istorii Gamleta, printsa Datskogo" v iznachalnoj versii (Pervoe kvarto), kotoraja otlichaetsja dinamichnym razvitiem sjuzheta pri sokhranenii poeticheskoj tsennosti i filosofskoj glubiny. V knigu takzhe vkljucheny parallelnyj tekst originala i statja izvestnogo shekspiroveda professora M. Litvinovoj, posvjaschennaja zagadkam avtorstva shekspirovskikh tekstov i osoboj roli "Gamleta", v versii Pervogo kvarto, v razgadke etoj tajny. Pervoe kvarto, gde otsutstvuet nemalo znakomykh razvernutykh monologov i poeticheskikh passazhej, proizvodit vpechatlenie nerazryvnosti i polnoty teksta, proslezhivaja sjuzhet i sudby geroev bez kakikh-libo upuschenij. Imena otdelnykh personazhej izmeneny: v chastnosti, Polonij stal Korambisom, a privychnyj nam Laert okazyvaetsja Liartom (chto blizhe po zvuchaniju k shekspirovskomu Liru, chem k gomerovskomu Laertu, ottsu Odisseja). "Gamlet" v versii Pervogo kvarto ne skhodit s mirovoj teatralnoj stseny. Eto pesa dlja ansamblja, a ne demonstratsija edinstvennogo zvezdnogo aktera. Pervoe kvarto stavilos vo mnogikh stanakh mira - no nikogda v Rossii, poskolku samostojatelnyj khudozhestvennyj perevod etogo varianta otsutstvoval. Na anglijskom i russkom jazykakh. Perevodchik: Korchevskij Andrej

"O, beware, my lord, of jealousy; it is the green-ey'd monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on." -Iago"Have you ever sat through a show, movie, or play that was intensely disturbing to watch? Othello is one such work... Why should we put ourselves through such an experience? Is there any redeeming value to be had in watching the inevitably tragic events unfold?" -From Stephen Rippon's IntroductionOthello is such a competent man, it's shocking how quickly the good things in his life fall apart. The beautiful Desdemona falls in love with him-but her father is furious to the point of murder that she has eloped with a Moor. Othello proudly promotes Cassio, a young soldier of his-but Cassio's fellow officer Iago is poisonously envious of the favor. And Iago doesn't just want Cassio's demotion. He works to turn the lives of Othello and Cassio and Desdemona into smoking ruins. Examining themes of violence, racism, and faithfulness, this excruciating Canon Classic tells of a despicable man tearing apart two true lovers, and himself in the process.

A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of the most enduringly popular of Shakespeare's plays, and it is not difficult to see why. The layers of comedy coupled with a powerful atmosphere of magic and mystery and a satisfying set of contrasts--between city and country, reason and imagination, love and infatuation--all add up to a hilarious, beautiful production that showcases Shakespeare's wit and power of imagination.

Macbeth is Shakespeare's shortest, darkest and most violent tragedy. Although initially written to interest and perhaps flatter James I, it has established its place among the world's great tragedies.

“A truly fun, emotional, and sometimes magical first experience, usually guided by a sagacious, knowledgeable, and intuitive educator.” —Library JournalFrom a teacher's perspective, this book was a great way to introduce students to a Shakespeare play they otherwise might never have encountered in high school . . . much more fun working with the adaptation than it might have been if I had tackled the full script. I strongly recommend this book (and the rest of the series) to educators who want to introduce a variety of Shakespeare plays to their students in a limited amount of time. —James Brendlinger, Chairman, Department of Arts and Communications, Lake Lowell High School, Winter Park, FLThis edition of Henry V presents eight scenes, using all actors as Chorus. Included in this riveting cutting are Henry’s inspiring “band of brothers” oration to his men, a merry interlude with Bardolph and friends, and an irresistible scene in which Alice teaches English to Katherine and her ladies in waiting.
