en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 mai 2013

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.

Descriere scurtă

The New Cambridge Shakespeare appeals to students worldwide for its up-to-date scholarship and emphasis on performance. The series features line-by-line commentaries and textual notes on the plays and poems. Introductions are regularly refreshed with accounts of new critical, stage and screen interpretations. For this second edition of The Tempest, David Lindley has thoroughly revised the Introduction to take account of the latest developments in criticism and performance. He has also added a completely new section on casting in recent productions of the play. The complex questions this new section raises about colonisation, racial and gender stereotypes and the nature of theatrical experience are explored throughout the introduction. Careful attention is paid to dramatic form, stagecraft, and the use of music and spectacle in The Tempest, a play that is widely regarded as one of Shakespeare's most elusive and suggestive. A revised and updated reading list completes the edition.

Recenzii

Review of the first edition: 'If you are looking for a model edition - by which I mean one that is concerned to honour the text and to explain the processes involved in editing - this is it. If I were ever again to undertake the editing of a Shakespeare play, I would keep Lindley's edition of The Tempest open beside me.' Peter Thompson
Review of the first edition: 'David Lindley's [The] Tempest is the best edition on the market and the paperback is a snip.' Studies in Theatre and Performance
Review of the first edition: 'Lindley aims both to represent and to explain the range of readings given the play in its theatrical and critical afterlives. His edition meets the high standards of the series in an exemplary manner, offering an especially fine introduction that focuses on the elusiveness of The Tempest, a feature that has made it central to late-twentieth-century criticism.' Barbara Hodgdon, Studies in English Literature
Review of the first edition: 'David Lindley's edition of The Tempest is easily the most outstanding version of this ostensibly straightforward yet hugely teasing play produced over the last thirty years. Its precise and scrupulous commentary notes are careful to the variety of ways the text can be spoken on stage. Its notes on the music and songs are admirably evocative, and its economical account of the huge range of critical views will send thousands of readers out in fruitful chases after the play's own multitudinous interests.' Andrew Gurr, editor, New Variorum 'Tempest'

Notă biografică

William Shakespeare (bapt. 26 April 1564 - 23 April 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "the Bard"). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. They also continue to be studied and reinterpreted. Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna and twins Hamnet and Judith. Sometime between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. At age 49 (around 1613), he appears to have retired to Stratford, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare's private life survive; this has stimulated considerable speculation about such matters as his physical appearance, his sexuality, his religious beliefs, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others. Shakespeare produced most of his known works between 1589 and 1613.His early plays were primarily comedies and histories and are regarded as some of the best work produced in these genres. Until about 1608, he wrote mainly tragedies, among them Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, all considered to be among the finest works in the English language. In the last phase of his life, he wrote tragicomedies (also known as romances) and collaborated with other playwrights. Many of Shakespeare's plays were published in editions of varying quality and accuracy in his lifetime. However, in 1623, two fellow actors and friends of Shakespeare's, John Heminges and Henry Condell, published a more definitive text known as the First Folio, a posthumous collected edition of Shakespeare's dramatic works that included all but two of his plays. The volume was prefaced with a poem by Ben Jonson, in which Jonson presciently hails Shakespeare in a now-famous quote as "not of an age, but for all time".
