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

John Dover Wilson's New Shakespeare, published between 1921 and 1966, became the classic Cambridge edition of Shakespeare's plays and poems until the 1980s. The series, long since out-of-print, is now reissued. Each work is available both individually and as a set, and each contains a lengthy and lively introduction, main text, and substantial notes and glossary printed at the back. The edition, which began with The Tempest and ended with The Sonnets, put into practice the techniques and theories that had evolved under the 'New Bibliography'. Remarkably by today's standards, although it took the best part of half a century to produce, the New Shakespeare involved only a small band of editors besides Dover Wilson himself. As the volumes took shape, many of Dover Wilson's textual methods acquired general acceptance and became an established part of later editorial practice, for example in the Arden and New Cambridge Shakespeares.

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".

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
