Measure for measure

COP $ 28.000In the hope of saving her brothers life, should a woman submit lo rape Should the law be respected when its administrator is corrupt How powerful in the state should Religion become Although Measure for Measure ends like a comedy, with reconciliations, forgiveness and marriages, it has often been regarded as one of Shakespeares problem plays. The drama shows the difficulty of effecting an appropriate balance between judicial severity and mercy, between sexual repression and decadence, and between political vigilance and social manipulation. These problems remain topical, and, in Measure for Measure, they are given immediacy by vivid character-conflicts and memorably intense poetry. This is one of Shakespeares most probing and powerful works. Measure for Measure is the fourteenth volume in the new Wordsworth Classics\' Shakespeare Series.

The great comedies and tragedies
COP $ 48.000These comedies are among the best loved of Shakespeare\'s plays. In each a problem emerges, is then intensified to a point of maximum confusion and potential upset, before the chaos is resolved, however improbably, into general goodwill and a spate of marriages. The triumph of these plays lies in the way they mingle humorous stage business and dexterous word play with a more serious study of identity, gender, dreaming, the meaning of love, even of the theatre itself They reassure us that with al! its faults, the world will always in the end be redeemable. Not for an age but for all time.\' So Ben Jonson established what we now take for granted: Shakespeare\'s unique place among the world\'s great authors. Romeo and Juliet shows us the archetypal story of fated young love; Hamlet, the tortured psyche of the young prince of Denmark; Othello, a strikingly modern representation of racial difference; King Lear, aman stripped of all material and psychological comforts; and Macbeth, a dark investigation of the origins and effects of evil. The plays throw a fascinating light on the concerns of Shakespeare\'s day, yet offer perennial insights into the nature of human emotion.Nota: el contenido de este libro se encuentra en inglés.Not for an age but for all time.\' So Ben Jonson established what we now take for granted: Shakespeare\'s unique place among the world\'s great authors.

The merchant of Venice
Sin existencias
COP $ 28.000The Wordsworth Classics \' Shakespeare Series presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeares works The textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal. The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeares most popular comedies, but it remains deeply controversial. The text may seem anti-Semitic: yet repeatedly, in performance, it has revealed a contrasting nature. Shylock, though vanquished in the law-court, often triumphs in the theatre. In his intensity he can dominate the play, challenging abrasively its romantic and lyrical affirmations. What results is a bitter-sweet drama. Though The Merchant of Venice offers some of the traditional pleasures of romantic comedy, it also exposes the operations of prejudice. Thus Shakespeare remains our contemporary.

COP $ 28.000The Wordsworth Classics\\\' Shakespeare Series presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeares works, the textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal. The Tempest is the most lyrical, profound and fascinating of Shakespeares late comedies. Prospero, long exiled from Italy with his daughter Miranda, seeks to use his magical powers to defeat his former enemies. Eventually, having proved merciful, he divests himself of that magic, his \\\'art \\\', and prepares to return to the mainland.
