A la cour d'Angleterre, Richard, duc de Gloucester, jalouse son frère, le roi Edouard IV. Avide de pouvoir, il le tue et s'empare du trône. C'est le début d'un règne violent où même les enfants ne seront pas épargnés par l'ambition du despote. Mais bientôt, une révolte éclate : après le crime vient, pour Richard, le temps du châtiment... Dernier volet de la tétralogie ouverte avec Henry VI, cette oeuvre est l'une des plus sanglantes de Shakespeare. Drame historique, la pièce met en scène l'inexorable ascension d'un tyran dont l'emprise s'exerce avant tout par la puissance séductrice du langage.

Richard III

Der Geist des ermordeten Vaters erteilt Hamlet den Auftrag, den Mörder zu richten. Hamlet solle Claudius, den Bruder des Ermordeten, seiner gerechten Strafe zuführen. Zunächst versucht Hamlet, den Mordvorwurf des Geistes zu belegen. Tatsächlich überführt er Claudius mit einer Finte. Doch auch die Gewissheit über die Schuld des Claudius hat Hamlets Unentschlossenheit nicht besiegt. Noch immer zaudert er. 

»Hamlet« ist mit »Romeo und Julia« wohl Shakespeares beliebtestes Drama. Der Text entstand um das Jahr 1600. Seit Anbeginn erfreut sich »Hamlet« gerade in England hoher Popularität. Die Figur des Hamlet wurde durch Shakespeare zum Inbegriff des von inneren Konflikten zerrissenen Zauderers.

 'The quality of mercy is not strain'd, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven'

 Bassiano, a noble Venetian, hopes to woo the beautiful heiress Portia. However, he requires financial assistance from his friend Antonio. Antonio agrees, but he, in turn, must borrow from the Jewish moneylender Shylock. As recourse for past ills, Shylock stipulates that the forfeit on the loan must be a pound of Antonio's flesh. In the most renowned onstage law scene of all time, Portia proves herself one of Shakespeare's most cunning heroines, disguising herself as a lawyer and vanquishing Shylock's claims; meanwhile, Shylock triumphs on a humanitarian level with his plea for tolerance: 'Hath not a Jew eyes?'

 Viewed paradoxically as anti-Semitic, while at the same time powerfully liberal for its time, The Merchant of Venice is at its core a bittersweet drama, exploring the noble themes of prejudice, justice and honour.

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.

 Power, corruption and betrayal are at the heart of Shakespeare's most well-known historical and political drama. As Julius Caesar moves closer to securing power for himself and is perceived by some as a threat to Roman citizens, his senators plot to bring about his downfall. Caesar's assassination leads to civil war rather than peace and the play explores the subsequent deaths of the conspirators Brutus and Cassius.

 Shakespeare's contemporaries would have spotted the playwright's attempts to use the shift from republican to imperial Rome to highlight the political situation of the Elizabethans at the time. Featuring some of the most powerfully resonant and rousing speeches of any of Shakespeare's plays, Julius Caesar remains one of his most well-loved historical tragedies.

This   carefully crafted ebook: "Troilus and Cressida (The Unabridged Play) + The   Classic Biography: The Life of William Shakespeare" is formatted for your   eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
Troilus and Cressida is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1602. The work was published as a quarto in 1609. Troilus and   Cressida is Shakespeare's "problem" play about the Trojan War. As   the opening Chorus tells us, the play begins in the middle of the epic   conflict, and counterpoints the drama of battle with the romance of the title   characters. Just as Agamemnon and his Greek forces attempt to woo the   invincible Achilles to resume fighting on their side, the Trojan go between   Pandarus tries to bring together Troilus, a son of King Priam, with his   niece, the lovely Cressida.
Life of William Shakespeare is a biography of William Shakespeare by the   eminent critic Sidney Lee.  This book   was one of the first major biographies of the Bard of Avon. It was published   in 1898, based on the article contributed to the Dictionary of National   Biography.
William Shakespeare (1564  - 1616)   was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in   the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often   called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon".  His extant works, including some   collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative   poems, and a few other verses, the authorship of some of which is   uncertain.
Sir Sidney Lee (1859 - 1926) was an English biographer and critic. He was a   lifelong scholar and enthusiast of Shakespeare. His article on Shakespeare in   the fifty-first volume of the Dictionary of National Biography formed the   basis of his Life of William Shakespeare. This full-length life is often   credited as the first modern biography of the poet.

William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) fue un dramaturgo, poeta y actor inglés. Conocido en ocasiones como el Bardo de Avon (o simplemente El Bardo), Shakespeare es considerado el escritor más importante en lengua inglesa y uno de los más célebres de la literatura universal.

El mercader de Venecia

"Nous autres Français devons faire notre deuil d'une bonne part de Shakespeare. La meilleure, disent les Anglais : sa poésie. Admettons-le. Mais offrons à ce réprouvé de naissance au moins l'hospitalité d'une langue qui s'affirme haut et clair comme une vraie langue, digne de ce nom, comme une langue qui ne se prêtera pas plus à la traduction que la sienne, et qui peut-être lui sera douce dans son lointain exil. Il faut retraduire tout Shakespeare avec courage, orgueil et patience. Rendre à ce théâtre génial sa violence et sa rapidité, y mettre tout le savoir-faire possible. En écoutant notre langue et notre voix autant que les siennes, en respectant leur manière particulière : en satisfaisant aux exigences du théâtre français. Nabokov : "Qu'est-ce qu'une traduction ? Sur un plateau, la tête pâle et flamboyante d'un poète." Décapiter l'auteur est suffisant ; ne jetons pas le plateau." Jacques Drillon.
