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

Elevé général des armées vénitiennes, Othello a épousé Desdémone : beauté noble, blanche et dévouée. Un triomphe pour ce Maure affranchi, au beau verbe, admirable, mais loin d'être admiré de tous... Iago, officier perfide, le hait. Distillant le mensonge à la façon d'un venin, celui-ci tissera un stratagème machiavélique pour faire chuter son maître. Le destin sera vicié, les coeurs purs périront. Quant à Othello, manipulé, aveuglé par la jalousie - ce "monstre aux yeux verts" -, il commettra l'irréparable. Histoire de peau, conte violent de l'amour trahi et tragédie du soupçon : immense classique, ce drame aussi noir que poignant exalte tout le génie de Shakespeare, dont le théâtre scrute avec une fascinante acuité le vertige des passions.

La Tragédie d'Othello, le Maure de Venise

Written in 1595, Richard II occupies a significant place in the Shakespeare canon, marking the transition from the earlier history plays dominated by civil war and stark power to a more nuanced representation of the political conflicts of England's past where character and politics are inextricably intertwined. It is the first of four connected plays--including 1 Henry IV, 2 Henry IV, and Henry V--generally considered Shakespeare's finest history plays.  The drama of Richard II centers on the power struggle between the grandiloquent King Richard and the plain-spoken, blunt Henry Bolingbroke, who is banished from Britain at the beginning of the play. But when Henry's father John of Gaunt dies, Richard confiscates his property with no regard to his son's rights, and Bolingbroke returns to confront the king, who surrenders his crown and is imprisoned in Pomfret Castle, where he is soon murdered. This new edition in the acclaimed Oxford Shakespeare series features a freshly edited version of the text. The wide-ranging introduction describes the play's historical circumstances, both the period that it dramatizes (the start of the "wars of the roses") and the period in which it was written (late Elizabethan England), and the play's political significance in its own time and our own. It also focuses on the play's richly poetic language and its success over the centuries as a play for the stage. Extensive explanatory notes help readers at all levels understand and appreciate the language, characters, and dramatic action and the book's lively illustrations provide a sense of the historical background and performance of the play.

La Vie Et La Mort Du Roi Richard II

In one of William Shakespeare's most popular poems, Venus spies the young and beautiful Adonis as he prepares for a hunt. She passionately kisses and attempts to seduce him, but Adonis is young and more interested in his hunt, and so he leaves Venus, only to find his own tragic end. 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.
