It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief!”

Shakespeare, William - As You Like it - Language: English, Theater Play - Format: ePub
Original Play with modern translation. As You Like It is a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare believed to have been written in 1599 or early 1600 and first published in the First Folio, 1623. The play's first performance is (More) uncertain, though a performance at Wilton House in 1603 has been suggested as a possibility. As You Like It follows its heroine Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle's court, accompanied by her cousin Celia to find safety and, eventually, love, in the Forest of Arden. In the forest, they encounter a variety of memorable characters, notably the melancholy traveller Jaques who speaks many of Shakespeare's most famous speeches (such as "All the world's a stage" and "A fool! A fool! I met a fool in the forest"). Jaques provides a sharp contrast to the other characters in the play, always observing and disputing the hardships of life in the country. Historically, critical response has varied, with some critics finding the work of lesser quality than other Shakespearean works and some finding the play a work of great merit.

«Non appartenne a un’epoca, ma a tutti i tempi», disse di Shakespeare Ben Jonson. William Shakespeare è considerato infatti da sempre il più grande autore teatrale mai esistito. La straordinaria energia creativa e la vastità della (More) sua produzione suscitarono nei romantici l’immagine di una «forza immane della natura», di un «genio universale». Oggi, dopo oltre quattro secoli dalla nascita, Shakespeare non cessa di stupirci per la complessità, la bellezza, la varietà della sua poesia e per la “modernità” dei personaggi e delle trame. • La tempesta • I due gentiluomini di Verona • Le allegre comari di Windsor • Misura per misura • La commedia degli errori • Molto rumore per nulla • Pene d’amor perdute • Sogno di una notte di mezza estate • Il mercante di Venezia • Come vi piace • La bisbetica domata • Tutto è bene quel che finisce bene • La dodicesima notte • Il racconto d’inverno • Enrico IV • Enrico V • Enrico VI • Riccardo III • Riccardo II • Re Giovanni • Enrico VIII • Troilo e Cressida • Coriolano • Tito Andronico • Romeo e Giulietta • Timone d’Atene • Giulio Cesare • Macbeth • Amleto • Re Lear • Otello, il Moro di Venezia • Antonio e Cleopatra • Cimbelino • Pericle, principe di Tiro

Shakespeare, William - Macbeth - Language: Italian, Theater Play - Format: ePub, iSilo
Macbeth è tra i più conosciuti drammi di Shakespeare, nonché la tragedia più breve. Frequentemente rappresentata e riadattata nel corso dei secoli, è divenuta archetipo della brama di potere e dei suoi pericoli. Per la trama (More) Shakespeare si ispirò liberamente al resoconto storico del re Macbeth di Scozia di Raphael Holinshed[2] e a quello del filosofo scozzese Hector Boece. Si tratta di una tragedia fosca, cruenta, in cui domina il male e in cui i personaggi sono complessi ed ambigui. Lady Macbeth, personificazione del male, è animata da grande ambizione e sete di potere.
