    "All the world's a stage", William Shakespeare wrote, "And all the men and women merely players." Sit back as the curtain goes up on the dramas, sonnets, and life of one of the greatest writers in the English language.

    Shakespeare wrote or contributed to more than 40 plays, ranging from romantic comedies to the profound tragedy King Lear, as well as 154 sonnets. The Shakespeare Book has visual plot summaries of each one, with diagrams to show the intricate web of relationships in plays such as A Midsummer's Night Dream. Commentaries explain Shakespeare's sources and set each drama in context, revealing, for instance, how the warring Protestants and Catholics of his day are mirrored in Romeo and Juliet's Montagues and Capulets.

    Written in plain English and packed with graphics and illustrations, The Shakespeare Book illumines the Bard's world - his marriage, businesses, and friends - and explains how his works became an enduring phenomenon.
    This is also the key to help you decode quickly for more obscure plays. All plays and major works are discussed in a very accessible aspect. Each chapter focuses on a play and has a brief summary, which is the overwhelming theme, the famous lines, the list of characters, settings and dates, plus the timeline and context of the play. The book is presented in a stylish modern graphic art design, with images and images of famous performances and films.

    Whether you're in need of a guide through complex storylines and unfamiliar language, or you're looking for a new perspective on his beloved plays and sonnets. I firmly believe this indispensable Shakespear anthology will help you fully appreciate Shakespeare, a true man and writer of all time.

    Whether you're a newcomer to Shakespeare or a longtime fan of the works, young or old, this is a useful and interesting book.
