Sa tyrannie n'a bientot plus de bornes. Ne lui a-t-on pas dit qu'il ne devait redouter que la marche d'une foret ? Or qui a jamais vu une foret marcher ? Complice de son mari, puis prise de remords, lady Macbeth s'enfonce dans la folie et se suicide. La foret finira par s'ebranler...

Macbeth

The Passionate Pilgrim is a collection of poems and sonnets that were attributed to William Shakespeare upon their publication, though it is unclear which of them were truly written by the bard. Three of the poems contained in The Passionate Pilgrim were originally written for Shakespeare's play Love's Labour's Lost. Known as "The Bard of Avon, " William Shakespeare is arguably the greatest English-language writer known. Enormously popular during his life, Shakespeare's works continue to resonate more than three centuries after his death, as has his influence on theatre and literature. Shakespeare's innovative use of character, language, and experimentation with romance as tragedy served as a foundation for later playwrights and dramatists, and some of his most famous lines of dialogue have become part of everyday speech. HarperPerennial Classics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.

Le péché de l'orgueil dans l'oeuvre de Shakespeare peut être à l'origine des tempêtes, des éclipses, un déchaînement dans les éléments. Mais le monde ne déploie plus ses décors dans "Troïlus et Cressida". Il n'y a ni feu, ni ait, ni eau, ni terre. La mer n'est plus qu'un lieu d'échanges commerciaux. L'enveloppe sécurisante des éléments semble s'être déjà dissoute et l'homme seul avec lui-même subit les conséquences du mal qu'il génère en lui-même.M. J.-D.

Troïlus et Cressida

Theatre complet t.5

Dans la Vérone de la Renaissance, deux illustres familles - les Montagues et les Capulets - s'affrontent et couvrent la ville de sang. Un soir, lors d'un bal, les héritiers de ces clans ennemis, Roméo et Juliette, se voient et tombent instantanément amoureux l'un de l'autre.

Mais comment s'aimer quand on est né pour se détester? Que faire afin d'échapper au poids des lois familiales ? Pour les deux amants, la fuite paraît la seule issue possible. Hélas, Roméo et Juliette apprendront à leurs dépens que leur innocente jeunesse est impuissante face à un destin qui les dépasse et que l'amour, comme la haine, peut conduire à la mort.

Avec Roméo et Juliette, Shakespeare explore l'intensité des passions et met en scène le sacrifice d'un amour interdit.

Roméo et Juliette

Già, cos'è Amleto per noi? Cosa siamo noi, pubblico d'oggi, per lui? È idea comune che ci si debba chiedere cosa Amleto possa dire a noi; mai che ci si ponga il problema opposto, e serio: cosa possiamo dire noi ad Amleto? Siamo in grado di parlargli ancora, ci vorrà ancora come interlocutori delle sue rifl essioni ad alta voce? Siamo abbastanza attuali, per lui, abbastanza contemporanei a lui? Ridotto a icona kitsch come la Gioconda di Leonardo, è ormai un attaccapanni per i nostri pregiudizi del momento. Ma Amleto, ancora oggi, ci fissa con sguardo perplesso dal proscenio. Ci chiede di andargli incontro a mente sgombra. Questa traduzione è un invito a farlo.
