Notă:  4.00 · o notă 
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 1988

Considerăm că introducerea copiilor și adolescenților în universul lui William Shakespeare este un pas esențial în dezvoltarea gândirii critice și a empatiei. Tema centrală a piesei The Tempest — pierderea și regăsirea puterii într-un cadru exotic — oferă tinerilor cititori o perspectivă fascinantă asupra modului în care greșelile trecutului pot fi îndreptate prin iertare, nu prin răzbunare. Situația lui Prospero, un duce trădat care își folosește exilul pentru a stăpâni forțele naturii, rezonează cu dorința fiecărui tânăr de a deține controlul asupra propriului destin.

Subliniem valoarea acestei ediții din seria Collins Classroom Classics, care transformă o lectură complexă într-o experiență accesibilă. Spre deosebire de Twelfth Night, unde accentul cade pe confuziile comice de identitate, sau Othello, care explorează profunzimile distructive ale geloziei, The Tempest reușește să educe și să captiveze fără a fi didactică, oferind un echilibru între spectacolul magic și dilemele etice. Structura cărții este remarcabilă: după textul piesei, cititorul găsește o secțiune de apendice ce include texte de Michel de Montaigne sau Ovid, oferind contextul istoric necesar pentru a înțelege viziunea autorului despre „omul natural” și civilizație.

Notăm cu interes modul în care această operă se raportează la alte lucrări ale „Bardului”. Dacă în Macbeth ambiția duce la o spirală a violenței, aici Prospero alege să-și rupă bagheta magică și să se reconcilieze cu inamicii săi. Este o lectură fundamentală care, prin ritmul său alert și personajele memorabile precum spiritul Ariel sau sălbaticul Caliban, facilitează tranziția către literatura clasică.

Despre autor

William Shakespeare (1564–1616), cunoscut drept „Bardul de pe Avon”, este considerat cel mai mare dramaturg al lumii. Opera sa, tradusă în toate limbile majore, continuă să fie fundamentul teatrului modern. Născut în Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare a creat o moștenire impresionantă de 39 de piese și 154 de sonete. The Tempest ocupă un loc special în bibliografia sa, fiind considerată piesa sa de „adio”, unde figura magicianului Prospero este adesea interpretată ca un alter-ego al dramaturgului care își ia rămas bun de la scenă. Stilul său combină profunzimea filozofică cu o măiestrie lingvistică inegalabilă.

Notă biografică

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in April 1564, and his birth is traditionally celebrated on April 23. The facts of his life, known from surviving documents, are sparse. He was one of eight children born to John Shakespeare, a merchant of some standing in his community. William probably went to the King’s New School in Stratford, but he had no university education. In November 1582, at the age of eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway, eight years his senior, who was pregnant with their first child, Susanna. She was born on May 26, 1583. Twins, a boy, Hamnet ( who would die at age eleven), and a girl, Judith, were born in 1585. By 1592 Shakespeare had gone to London working as an actor and already known as a playwright. A rival dramatist, Robert Greene, referred to him as “an upstart crow, beautified with our feathers.” Shakespeare became a principal shareholder and playwright of the successful acting troupe, the Lord Chamberlain’s Men (later under James I, called the King’s Men). In 1599 the Lord Chamberlain’s Men built and occupied the Globe Theater in Southwark near the Thames River. Here many of Shakespeare’s plays were performed by the most famous actors of his time, including Richard Burbage, Will Kempe, and Robert Armin. In addition to his 37 plays, Shakespeare had a hand in others, including Sir Thomas More and The Two Noble Kinsmen, and he wrote poems, including Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece. His 154 sonnets were published, probably without his authorization, in 1609. In 1611 or 1612 he gave up his lodgings in London and devoted more and more time to retirement in Stratford, though he continued writing such plays as The Tempest and Henry VII until about 1613. He died on April 23 1616, and was buried in Holy Trinity Church, Stratford. No collected edition of his plays was published during his life-time, but in 1623 two members of his acting company, John Heminges and Henry Condell, put together the great collection now called the First Folio.

Descriere scurtă

This joyous play, the last comedy of Shakespeare's career, sums up his stagecraft with a display of seemingly effortless skill. Prospero, exiled Duke of Milan, living on an enchanted island, has the opportunity to punish and forgive his enemies when he raises a tempest that drives them ashore—as well as to forestall a rebellion, to arrange the meeting of his daughter, Miranda, with an eminently suitable young prince, and, more important, to relinquish his magic powers in recognition of his advancing age. Richly filled with music and magic, romance and comedy, the play's theme of love and reconciliation offers a splendid feast for the senses and the heart.

Descriere

The widely acclaimed Oxford School Shakespeare series offers students the perfect introduction to Shakespeare's plays. THE TEMPEST, probably written around 1611, dramatizes Prospero's plight to escape banishment to a lonely island by his brother Antonio. Illustrated.

Recenzii

The world that William Shakespeare creates in The Tempest has many features that make it recognizably like our own. There are bad, self-seeking people; brothers fall out with brothers; people who have power are reluctant to give it up; people fall in love; children love their fathers but want to break free. But there is also a fairy-spirit, music in the very air of the island, and a powerful magician who can command the elements and even, he tells us, bring the dead back to life. Combining reality and magic, Shakespeare creates an uncanny but morally coherent world.
This edition features interleaved materials that expand upon allusions in the play and explore elements of its stagecraft. Appendices offer excerpts from Shakespeare’s key sources and inspirations, along with historical materials on exploration and colonialism.

“I heartily welcome this new edition of The Tempest. In their introduction, the editors offer a deftly balanced, deeply nuanced interpretation of the play. While fully explicating its historical context, sources, and afterlife, the editors engage deeply with the play’s ethical ambiguities. They reveal The Tempest as a canonical play that speaks powerfully to today’s social concerns about justice, memory, revenge, service, freedom, and power. As the editors put it beautifully, ‘it is a quality of great works of art that they—unlike the people who make them—grow younger, stronger, more various, and more influential as they grow older.’ Long may it be so.” — Gail Kern Paster, Director Emerita, Folger Shakespeare Library
“This stellar edition of The Tempest does an excellent job of situating the play in its historical contexts. A splendid introduction and a well-chosen set of secondary materials will give students and teachers alike a clear entry point into the play’s noted interests in political and ethical questions posed by colonial conquest and other forms of usurpation. The vivid illustrations and longer notes interspersed throughout the playtext itself offer the reader an experience unique to this edition, beautifully illuminating the importance of visual art and staged image to The Tempest, Shakespeare’s most spectacular play.” — Adam Zucker, University of Massachusetts Amherst
“Despite there being many fine editions of this play, past and present, this one is a good choice for both the classroom and the study, and one that scholars should consult when considering editing, interpreting, or teaching The Tempest, a play that has been a favourite of many… Bernard and Yachnin have produced a balanced, measured, thoughtful, scholarly, clear, and well-considered edition, and they and their publisher are to be commended.” — Jonathan Locke Hart, Renaissance and Reformation
