Le Roi Lear

Beaucoup de bruit pour rien (Much Ado About Nothing) est une comedie de William Shakespeare publiee en 1600, dont la premiere a probablement ete representee a l'hiver 1598-1599. Elle reste a ce jour l'une des comedies de Shakespeare les plus populaires. Stylistiquement, elle a beaucoup de points communs avec les comedies romantiques qui jouent sur deux couples d'amoureux: le couple romantique, Claudio et Hero, et leur contrepartie comique, Benedict et Beatrice. Claudio et Benedick reviennent d'une campagne militaire victorieuse, commandes par don Pedro, contre son demi-frere batard don John. Ils sont accueillis par Leonato, gouverneur de Messine, dans sa ville. Claudio s'eprend de la fille de Leonato, Hero, dont il veut obtenir la main, pendant que la niece de Leonato, Beatrice, retrouve son vieil adversaire en parole, Benedick."

Le roi Lear

"Oh ! prenez garde, monseigneur, à la jalousie ! C'est le monstre aux yeux verts qui produit l'aliment dont il se nourrit ! "Général de Venise, Othello est un homme heureux : il a épousé la belle et vertueuse Desdémona. Mais son bonheur est fragile... Jaloux, le perfide Iago tente de séduire Desdémona qui le repousse. Pour se venger, il persuade Othello qu'elle a pour amant l'honnête Cassio, distillant le mensonge à la façon d'un venin. Tragédie captivante, magistralement construite, Othello est sans doute l'une des plus belles expressions littéraires de la jalousie.

The Taming of the Shrew is one of Shakespeare's earliest comedies, believed   to have been written between 1590 and 1592.

Baptista decides   that Bianca cannot marry until her elder sister finds a husband. Enter   Petruchio, who has come to "wive it wealthily in Padua," and who is   convinced by Bianca's suitors to woo Katherina. The play ultimately poses the   question of who is the bigger shrew: Kate or Petruchio. The subplot involves   the subterfuge employed by Lucentio to woo the lovely Bianca.

Tragédies Tome 1 et Tome 2

William Shakespeare's "Sonnets" are the most beautiful example of love poetry ever written. With their uplifting spirit, coherence, intensity and dealing with the passing of age, of time, the evanescence of beauty offset by the permanence of true feelings, the "Sonnets" are a keystone of the English language literature. Composed at a time when "Sonnet craze" was rampant in England, the Sonnets, like many other Shakespearan works, raise as many questions as answers: W. H., the Fair Youth, the Dark Lady, were they to be publicised? Rediscover the "Sonnets" in this new edition by Les Éditions de Londres.
