From century to century, people are looking for an answer to the question of what is the secret of Shakespeare’s greatness, why he eclipsed other remarkable representatives of the golden age of English drama and forever inscribed his name in the history of world literature and theater. Perhaps it’s all about the amazing power of passions embodied in such an elegant, inimitable form. In Shakespeare's plays, a vivid picture of life is revealed, grandiose human characters emerge, powerful, rich, multifaceted; they are surprisingly reliable and at the same time filled with genuine poetry.
This edition includes six major tragedies by William Shakespeare in brilliant translations by Boris Pasternak. The book is accompanied by classic illustrations by English and American artists, whose works have not previously been published in Russia.
