A Midsummer Nights Dream

With a foreword by Becky Albertalli, author of Imogen, Obviously and Love, Simon

‘The course of true love never did run smooth’

Hermia loves Lysander. But she must marry Demetrius or be condemned to life in a convent. Together, Hermia and Lysander plan to elope to escape their fate. But Helena, Hermia’s best friend, secretly loves Demetrius and, hoping to win his heart, tells him about the plan.

Deep in the forest, the four unlucky lovers cross paths with Oberon, the jilted fairy king. When a powerful, love-inducing flower is put to nefarious use, a case of multiple mistaken identities sets in motion a night of magic and mayhem that could change all of their lives forever.

A Midsummer Night's Dream is Shakespeare’s magical romantic comedy of trickery, love triangles and mistaken identities.

Much Ado About Nothing

Foreword by Holly Bourne, author of It Only Happens in the Movies

‘I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest’

Love, deception and discord are flourishing in the court of Messina.

Sweet, innocent Hero and the famed soldier Claudio are immediately infatuated, while the bickering Beatrice and Benedick can agree on just one thing: the other is insufferable. Little do they know, two plans are afoot – one to make Beatrice and Benedick fall in love, another to break up Hero and Claudio.

Romeo and Juliet

With a foreword by Jennifer Niven, author of All the Bright Places and Breathless

‘For never was a story of more woe

Than this of Juliet and her Romeo’

A bloody feud. A tangled love. A senseless tragedy that brings two families to their knees.

After a chance meeting at a ball, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet fall desperately in love. But their families are locked in a bitter rivalry, their love forbidden. Worse still, Juliet’s family already expect her to marry her suitor, Count Paris.

Determined to save their love, Romeo and Juliet wed in secret. But when a fight erupts that leaves Montagues and Capulets dead, Romeo is banished from Verona, forcing Juliet to take desperate measures that spell tragedy for the star-crossed lovers.

Romeo and Juliet is Shakespeare’s masterclass in tales of love and loss, and the origin of the lovestruck, star-crossed lovers.

Cơn Bão - The Tempest

Bởi vì đây là vở kịch hoàn chỉnh cuối cùng Shakespeare viết mà không cộng tác với tác giả nào khác, và vở kịch đã được sáng tác chỉ trong khoảng năm năm trước khi ông qua đời vào năm 1616, và vì đây là vở kịch về một pháp sư từ bỏ pháp thuật của mình (có thể so sánh với việc một nghệ sĩ chia tay nghệ thuật của mình) và rút lui vào một cuộc sống mà “mọi suy nghĩ thứ ba sẽ là ngôi mộ của tôi”, như lời Prospero nói trước khi quay về công quốc Milan của mình, Cơn bão đã được xem như là lời từ biệt của Shakespeare.

Tác phẩm bao gồm:

Câu Chuyện Mùa Đông - The Winter's Tale

Với Câu chuyện mùa đông, Shakespeare đã đạt được thành công lớn đầu tiên trong thể loại mới, kịch lãng mạn. Sau những nỗ lực ban đầu trong Pericles và Cymbeline, nhà viết kịch đã tìm ra cách tích hợp các yếu tố khác nhau của văn học lãng mạn – sự kỳ lạ và huyền ảo xen lẫn với các nhân vật và tình huống khuôn mẫu – với thế mạnh riêng của ông là một tác giả hiện thực.

Câu chuyện mùa đông kết hợp tâm lý học ảm đạm của bi kịch Shakespeare với sự lạc quan có tầm nhìn xa trông rộng của hài kịch trước đó của ông. Đây là một vở kịch có sắc thái đạo đức đặc biệt, cân bằng giữa thần thánh và con người.

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.

Midsummer Night's Dream (Collins Classics)

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

'My Oberon! what visions have I seen!

Methought I was enamoured of an ass.'

When four young lovers flee from Athens and become lost in an enchanted wood, they stumble into a fairy world where King Oberon, and Queen Titania, are feuding over ownership of a young Indian prince. Seeking his revenge on Titania, Oberon and his servant Puck begin a magical, yet farcical chain of events where all become interwoven in a comedic and mischievous play about the difficulties of love.

The Folger Library offers the definitive, updated edition of "Hamlet," with newly edited text, explanatory notes, scene summaries, and more. "Hamlet" is Shakespeare's most popular, and most puzzling, play. It follows the form of a "revenge tragedy," in which the hero, Hamlet, seeks vengeance against his father's murderer, his uncle Claudius, now the king of Denmark. Much of its fascination, however, lies in its uncertainties. Among them: What is the Ghost--Hamlet's father demanding justice, a tempting demon, an angelic messenger? Does Hamlet go mad, or merely pretend to? Once he is sure that Claudius is a murderer, why does he not act? Was his mother, Gertrude, unfaithful to her husband or complicit in his murder? The authoritative edition of "Hamlet "from The Folger Shakespeare Library, the trusted and widely used Shakespeare series for students and general readers, is now available as an eBook. Features include: - The exact text of the printed book for easy cross-reference - Hundreds of hypertext links for instant navigation - Freshly edited text based on the best early printed version of the play - Full explanatory notes conveniently placed on pages facing the text of the play - Scene-by-scene plot summaries - A key to famous lines and phrases - An introduction to reading Shakespeare's language - Illustrations from the Folger Shakespeare Library's vast holdings of rare books - An essay by a leading Shakespeare scholar providing a modern perspective on the play
