Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Pierini, Piero (illustrator). Neuware - Shakespeare's absolute pre-eminence is simply unparalleled. His plays pack theatres and provide Hollywood with blockbuster scripts; his works inspire mountains of scholarship and criticism every year. He has given us many of the very words we speak, and even some of the thoughts we think. Nick Groom and Piero explore how Shakespeare became so famous and influential, and why he is still widely considered the greatest writer ever. They investigate how the Bard has been worshipped at different times and in different places, used and abused to cultural and political ends, and the roots of the intense controversies which have surrounded his work. Much more than a biography or a guide to his plays and sonnets, Introducing Shakespeare is a tour through his world and concludes that even after centuries, Shakespeare remains the battlefield on which our very comprehension of humanity is being fought out. 176 pp. Deutsch.

Sunday Times'One of the outstanding fictional debuts of recent years.' Observer'A delicate, ironic, elliptical novel . Its characters are remarkably convincing . but what one remembers is its balance, halfway between elegy and irony.' New York Times Book Review'An extraordinarily fine first novel . its themes are deceptively large and uncommonly haunting.' Los Angeles Times 183 pp. Englisch.
