El mercader de Venecia

La Tempête

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.

Othello – suivi d'annexes - Nouvelle édition 2019

Look, what I speak, my life shall prove it true;

That Mowbray hath received eight thousand nobles

In name of lendings for your highness' soldiers,

The which he hath detain'd for lewd employments,

Like a false traitor and injurious villain.

Besides I say and will in battle prove,

Or here or elsewhere to the furthest verge

That ever was survey'd by English eye,

That all the treasons for these eighteen years

Complotted and contrived in this land

Fetch from false Mowbray their first head and spring.

Further I say and further will maintain

Upon his bad life to make all this good,

That he did plot the Duke of Gloucester's death,

Suggest his soon-believing adversaries,

And consequently, like a traitor coward,

Sluiced out his innocent soul through streams of blood:

Which blood, like sacrificing Abel's, cries,

Even from the tongueless caverns of the earth,

To me for justice and rough chastisement;

And, by the glorious worth of my descent,

This arm shall do it, or this life be spent.

Richard the second

Ce que Shakespeare met en scène dans Henry IV, c'est cette vision d'un monde livré aux machinations politiques, à l'intérêt, aux faux-semblants, au brigandage et à la guerre. La parole déchue s'y fait l'instrument de tous les mensonges, incarnée par Falstaff, virtuose du jeu de mots, de la métaphore, imbattable en escrime verbale, comédien sans pudeur qui menace à chaque instant de détruire l'illusion théâtrale par laquelle il tient pourtant son rôle.

De nombreux passages des oeuvres théâtrales de Shakespeare sont comme des instants suspendus dans le temps de la représentation, des " morceaux de bravoure ", que l'on a l'habitude d'isoler du contexte pour mettre en évidence leur portée humaine et intemporelle, et aussi leur enseignement durable : l'immortel " To be or not to be ", mais aussi " Mon royaume pour un cheval l ", " C'était le rossignol et non l'alouette. - C'était l'alouette, la messagère du matin, et non le rossignol ", ou encore " Le monde entier est un théâtre... " Tels sont quelques-uns des exemples qui demeureront encore longtemps dans les mémoires et que nous avons choisis pour ce livre, un best of de l'oeuvre shakespearienne.

King Lear is driven to the brink of madness by his own actions when he disinherits his youngest daughter, the lovely Cordelia, because of her inability to express her love for him. Having divided his realm between his remaining daughters, Goneril and Regan, Lear is betrayed by his two foolish and deceitful children, and is left to wander the heath with only his Fool, his servant Caius, and the madman Tom O'Bedlam for company. Eventually reunited with Cordelia, Lear is too late repents his rashness, and must face the tragic consequences of his choices. 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.
