Hamlet : J'ai depuis peu, pourquoi je n'en sais rien, perdu toute ma gaieté, abandonné mes habituels exercices ; et de fait mon humeur est si désolée que cet admirable édifice, la terre, me semble un promontoire stérile, et ce dais de l'air, si merveilleux n'est-ce pas, cette voûte superbe du firmament, ce toit auguste décoré de flammes d'or, oui, tout cela n'est plus pour moi qu'un affreux amas de vapeurs pestilentielles. (Acte II, scène 2).

"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.

This   carefully crafted ebook: "King Richard III (The Unabridged Play) + The   Classic Biography: The Life of William Shakespeare" is formatted for your   eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
Richard III is a historical play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in approximately 1592. It depicts the Machiavellian rise to   power and subsequent short reign of Richard III of England. The play   chronicles Richard's dramatic rise and fall. Shakespeare famously portrays him   as a "deformed hunchback" who ruthlessly lies, murders, and   manipulates his way to throne before being taken down by the guy who becomes   King Henry VII (whose reign ends the Wars of the Roses and ushers in the   Tudor dynasty). Despite his wickedness, Richard is the kind of villain that   audiences just love to hate.

These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is illustrated throughout by Sir John Gilbert, and includes an introduction by Dr Robert Mighall. When the youngest daughter refuses to take part in this charade, she is banished, leaving the king dependent on her manipulative and untrustworthy sisters. In the scheming and recriminations that follow, not only does the king's own sanity crumble, but the stability of the realm itself is also threatened.

Roméo et Juliette est l'oeuvre la plus célèbre d'un auteur à qui l'on doit les plus grands classiques de l'histoire dramatique. Autant dire qu'il s'agit là d'une pièce qui confine à l'universel, puisqu'elle constitue l'illustration la plus aboutie de l'innocence des sentiments amoureux. Amours de jeunesse, élans indifférents aux conventions ou à la bienséance : Roméo et Juliette se révèlent l'un à l'autre et par-là même découvrent chacun leur véritable nature. La force (et surtout l'immédiateté) du lien qui les unit symbolise une certaine forme d'idéal humain, généreux et affranchi de toute contingence. C'est précisément cette "arrogance" d'un sentiment qui se suffit à lui-même que le destin va poursuivre avec violence... Car la loi clanique refuse que l'on se place en marge des liens du sang, et ni Juliette ni Roméo ne peuvent oublier qu'ils appartiennent à des familles rivales. Victimes de la fatalité plus que de leurs dilemmes respectifs, les jeunes héros subissent la violence d'un monde qui s'acharne contre l'innocence et la pureté. On ne cesse de s'émerveiller devant la force tragique et le lyrisme spontané de cette oeuvre fondatrice. --Lenaïc Gravis et Jocelyn Blériot
