The book is quarter bound in real cloth, with head and tail bands, a ribbon marker, all edges gilt and an embossed jacket, and has been completely reset. It is illustrated throughout with Sir John Gilbert's superb woodcuts.

Hra Jak se vám líbí patří k vrcholným komediím Williama Shakespeara, kterým se často říká komedie sváteční. Kromě mileneckých párů a nezapomenutelné Rosalindy v ní vystupuje Šašek a melancholický Žak v ní pronáší jeden z nejslavnějších Shakesperových monologů vůbec, začínající slovy "Celý svět je jeviště a všichni lidé na něm jenom herci". Shakespeare v komedii Jak se vám líbí předvádí v divadelní zkratce svět jako jeviště. Postavy nechává jednat v divadelních situacích, které se v sobě vzájemně zrcadlí a ve kterých nakonec vždycky poznáme i samy sebe. V tomto magickém shakespearovském zrcadlení spočívá půvab, humor i moudrost komedie Jak se vám líbí především.

A young woman flees Athens with her lover, only to be pursued by her would-be husband and by her best friend. Unwittingly, all four find themselves in an enchanted forest where fairies and sprites soon take an interest in human affairs, dispensing magical

Druhý svazek díla Williama Shakespeara v překladu Martina Hilského v jednojazyčném vydání a s Poznámkou překladatele.

An elaborately annotated edition of Shakespeare's masterpieces of wit and erotic word-play. When a volume of poetry entitled Shakespeares Sonnets. Never before Imprinted appeared in 1609, Shakespeare was forty-five and most of his greatest plays had seen several performances. Some of the sonnets, speaking of the begetting of children, mortality and memory, art, desire and jealousy, are addressed to a beloved youth, others are addressed to a treacherous mistress, a "dark lady." Appended to the sonnets is "A Lover's Complaint," a beautiful poem in rhyme-royal in which a young woman is overheard lamenting her betrayal by a heartless seducer. While Shakespeare's biographers continue their investigations, readers may find the "secret" of the sonnets in the poetry itself. In this spirit John Kerrigan provides an illuminating Introduction to the volume as a whole, together with 258 pages of commentaries on the poems, a textual history, and suggestions for further reading. Edited with an Introduction by John Kerrigan.

One of Shakespeare's most rollicking and beloved comedies, The Taming of the Shrew was also one of his earliest, probably written about 1592. The introduction to this edition offers a full and original consideration of the play's textual problems, a study of sources, a survey of scholarship and criticism, with the editor's own critical appreciation, and a study of the comedy's fortunes in the theatre.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Love's Labour's Lost, now recognized as one of the most delightful and stageworthy of Shakespeare's comedies, came into its own both on the stage and in critical esteem only during the 1930s and 1940s, after three hundred years of neglect by the theatre and undervaluation and misuse by critics. The Introduction to this new edition pays particular attention to this process of rehabilitation. The text, based on the quarto of 1598 and taking full account of the extensive scholarly study that text has received over recent years, rests on the hypothesis that the quarto goes back, probably by way of 'lost' quarto, to an authorial manuscript representing the play in a state prior to 'fair copy'. If this is so, the quarto takes on a special significance because through it we can watch Shakespeare in the act of composition, improvising, changing his mind, and revising as his play develops under his hand. The editor offers a number of new readings of difficult and disputed passages, together with some suggestions about the way in which the play's notorious 'tangles' may have come about. A detailed commentary offers full and helpful guidance to the play's scintillating language.
