William Shakespeare

The Sonnets

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

William Shakespeare's collection of sonnets is a timeless exploration of love, beauty, and the passage of time. Comprising 154 individual poems, Shakespeare's sonnets are celebrated for their lyrical beauty, emotional depth, and enduring resonance. In these sonnets, Shakespeare delves into the complexities of romantic relationships, from the ecstasy of newfound love to the anguish of betrayal and loss. He explores the fleeting nature of beauty, the ravages of time, and the power of poetry to immortalize the beloved. The sonnets are often divided into two main sequences: the first 126 sonnets, addressed to a young man, express the poet's admiration, affection, and longing, while the subsequent sonnets, addressed to a mysterious "dark lady," delve into themes of passion, desire, and jealousy.

Autorenporträt

William Shakespeare (bapt. 26 April 1564 ¿ 23 April 1616) was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
