Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This tale of the immortal Prince of Denmark explores the complexities of the human soul through Hamlet's tragic quest for vengeance after his father's death. The illustrated series presents complete texts of Shakespeare's plays, featuring the bard's original poetic lines alongside modern translations on facing pages. Starting in the late 1580s, Shakespeare's works captivated London's theatergoers, with his Globe Theatre akin to today's Broadway. Despite their enduring popularity, the evolution of the English language over 400 years has made comprehension challenging for contemporary students. Simply Shakespeare addresses this issue effectively. Each play begins with an essay on Shakespeare's life and times, while each act features a two-page spread outlining the upcoming events, key characters, and essential details to watch for. This includes the historical context of the play, staging practices of Shakespeare's era, and explanations of puns and wordplay in the dialogue. Icons preceding study points are printed in a second color and cross-referenced in the original text. After each act, a closing spread provides questions and discussion points for teachers. This innovative format allows both teachers and students to appreciate Shakespeare's genius in a new light.
