Four Tragedies: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth
ISBN: 9780140434583 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 960 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A Penguin Classics edition containing Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth
The theme of the great Shakespearean tragedies is the fall from grace of a great man due to a flaw in his nature. Whether it is the ruthless ambition of Macbeth or the folly of Lear, the irresolution of Hamlet or the suspicion of Othello, the cause of the tragedy - even when it is the murder of a king - is trifling compared to the calamity that it unleashes. Despite his flawed nature, however, the tragic hero has a nobility that emphasizes the greatness of man. From this... A Penguin Classics edition containing Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth

Man and Superman
ISBN: 9780140437881 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Shaw began writing MAN AND SUPERMAN in 1901 and determined to write a play that would encapsulate the new century's intellectual inheritance. Shaw drew not only on Byron's verse satire, but also on Shakespeare, the Victorian comedy fashionable in his early life, and from authors from Conan Doyle to Kipling. In this powerful drama of ideas, Shaw explores the role of the artist, the function of women in society, and his theory of Creative Evolution. As Stanley Weintraub says in his new introduction, this is "the first great twentieth-century English play" and remains a classic expose of the...

Death of a Salesman
ISBN: 9780140481341 / Angielski / Miękka / 1976 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Pulitzer Prize-winning tragedy of a salesman's deferred American dream Ever since it was first performed in 1949, Death of a Salesman has been recognized as a milestone of the American theater. In the person of Willy Loman, the aging, failing salesman who makes his living riding on a smile and a shoeshine, Arthur Miller redefined the tragic hero as a man whose dreams are at once insupportably vast and dangerously insubstantial. He has given us a figure whose name has become a symbol for a kind of majestic grandiosity--and a play that compresses epic extremes of humor and...
