Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector’s Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector’s Library are books to love and treasure.
A magical escapist fantasy centred around the disruption of social order, The Tempest is one of Shakespeare’s most poetic and political comedies. This edition features illustrations by renowned artist Sir John Gilbert and a new introduction by actor, writer and director Simon Callow. As tumultuous waves roar over an uninhabited Mediterranean island, Prospero has been banished from Italy, Ferdinand and Miranda become entwined in a love knot, Sebastian and Antonia plot a murder, a drunken butler wants the throne and Ariel and Caliban have lost power over their home.
Shakespeare lyrically transforms the stage into a shipwreck and leaves his characters to fight for control of the island.

William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare (1564–1616), amplamente considerado uma das maiores figuras da literatura mundial, foi dramaturgo, poeta e ator. Nasceu em Stratford-upon-Avon e, ao longo da sua carreira, escreveu cerca de 39 peças de teatro, 154 sonetos e vários poemas narrativos. A sua obra abrange tragédias, comédias e dramas históricos, explorando temas universais como o amor, o poder, a ambição, o ciúme e a condição humana. Esteve ligado à companhia teatral Lord Chamberlain’s Men (mais tarde King’s Men) e teve um papel central no desenvolvimento do teatro elisabetano. A sua influência é tão decisiva como a de Homero, Dante ou Cervantes. |
