eBooks di Titolo C di William Shakespeare editi da E Bookarama

La vita di William Shakespeare è il buco nero della storia letteraria inglese, in cui precipitano intermittenti teorie e fantasie di brevissima luce e di ancor più flebile autorevolezza. Sono sicure le date della nascita e della morte, avvenute entrambe a Stratford-on-Avon, nel 1564 e nel 1616. Nel novembre del 1582 viene collocato il matrimonio con Anne Hathaway da cui ebbe tre figli, Susanna (1583) e i gemelli Hamnet e Judith (Hamnet morì per cause sconosciute all’età di undici anni). Successivamente, il grande lavoro a Londra, come autore e saltuariamente attore di una compagnia teatrale, prima chiamata “gli Uomini del Lord Ciambellano”, poi, dal 1603, “Uomini del Re”; un lavoro accompagnato da un grande successo di pubblico e da un discreto successo economico, ma non adeguatamente riconosciuto dalla cultura ufficiale del tempo: quella del drammaturgo era una figura sociale in gestazione, legata a un mestiere di incerta collocazione e di ancora più incerto prestigio intellettuale.

Coriolanus. E-book. Formato EPUB William Shakespeare   -  E-Bookarama, 2025  - 

"Coriolanus" is the last of the so-called political tragedies by William Shakespeare, written about 1608. T. S. Eliot considered "Coriolanus" to be Shakespeare's finest achievement in tragedy. Not only is "Coriolanus" a Roman history play in addition to being a tragedy, it is a decidedly political work that embodies a debate or treatise concerning the relative merits of patrician autocracy versus plebeian democracy. Roman general Coriolanus makes his name defeating an enemy army and defending Rome. The Senate nominates him as consul but he cannot win the people's vote, so he is banished from Rome and allies with his old enemy. He comes to attack Rome, but his mother persuades him not to. His new-found ally will make him pay for the betrayal...

Cymbeline. E-book. Formato EPUB William Shakespeare   -  E-Bookarama, 2024  - 

"Cymbeline" is one of the great comedy plays by William Shakespeare and one of his later ones. Near the end of his career, William Shakespeare wrote a group of beautiful and confounding plays that did not easily fit into any of his previously chosen genres, or categories of literature. These plays are neither tragedies nor comedies, though they contain elements of both at times. They also often feature exotic locations, elaborate special effects, and magic. Shakespearean critics have classified this group as Shakespeare's romances. One of these romances is "Cymbeline", first performed around 1611.Gullible Cymbeline, King of Britain, takes a new wife who has an arrogant son called Cloten. Cymbeline's beautiful daughter Imogen is expected to marry Cloten. Instead Imogen marries the brave, but poor Posthumus Leonatus. Cymbeline is furious when he finds out about the marriage and banishes Posthumus who goes to Rome. The couple have time to exchange love tokens and Imogen gives Posthumus a diamond ring and he gives her a bracelet. The villain of the plot is Iachimo who bets 10,000 ducats against Posthumus's diamond ring that he can seduce Imogen. Various plot lines ensue involving deceit, cross-dressing, poison and treachery. The story has a happy ending when Iachimo confesses and Imogen reveals her true identity and is reunited with Posthumus.
