Antony and Cleopatra

Autor William Shakespeare
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 feb 2010
Two titanic personages and two of the greatest world empires become entangled in this magnificent drama of love and war. The Roman leader Mark Antony should be ruling the eastern Roman Empire, but the seductive, cunning Egyptian Queen Cleopatra has captured all of his attention. Octavius has become Ceasar and believes that Antony has neglected his duties and left Rome vulnerable. Tensions mount and the rift escalates until their armies clash. Blinded by his passion for Cleopatra Antony is unable to meet his responsibilities, unable to choose between an empire and love. Their irresistible attraction causes each to make ruinous decisions which lead irretrievably to despair and defeat. Spanning a ten-year period, this bold, splendid tragedy ranks among Shakespeare's greatest achievements.

Notă biografică

William Shakespeare (1564 to 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor. He is widely considered the greatest writer in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

In its towering central characters, vast geographical and historical sweep, and its variety of style and mood, 'Anthony and Cleopatra' is perhaps the most ambitious of Shakespear's designs. Yet the degree and nature of its success remain surprisingly contentious, and performances of the play have seldom matched the extravagant expectations of its admirers.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
A magnificent drama of love and war, this riveting tragedy presents one of Shakespeare's greatest female characters--the seductive, cunning Egyptian queen Cleopatra. The Roman leader Mark Antony, a virtual prisoner of his passion for her, is a man torn between pleasure and virtue, between sensual indolence and duty . . . between an empire and love. Bold, rich, and splendid in its setting and emotions, "Antony And Cleopatra" ranks among Shakespeare's supreme achievements.

Recenzii

Antony and Cleopatra is a tragedy, and a fascinating examination of the devious intricascies of politics.
'The play is a wry examination of the wonder and the absurdity of love in middle ages.'
'Shakespeare's Antony is a charismatic leader, a reckless politician and a desperate, lust driven lover, with a touch of a demigod.'
'it combines hard politics with erotic fascination'
Cleopatra's speech in which she mourns for Antony and 'transforms a vainglorious old roue into a god in perhaps the most transcendentally beautiful verse Shakespeare ever wrote.'
'easily Shakespeare's finest historical foray'
'The legendary sex bomb Cleopatra, one of the toughest as well as the most fascinating of Shakespeare's heroines'
'This is a tragedy of love poisoned by politics and politics betrayed for love'
'Shakespeare's tragedy of passion, politics, and performance'
'...after all, this is a play about delusions and illusions, about the love affair between a drama queen and a great warrior who manages to botch everything he touches, including his own death'.
'It's the die-hard lust for life and sheer overblown poetry of its middle aged lovers that makes 'Antony and Cleopatra' the hedonist's favourite tragedy.'
