Shakespeare

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2008

From bestselling author Bill Bryson comes this compelling short biography of William Shakespeare, our greatest dramatist and poet. Examining centuries of myths, half-truths and downright lies, Bill Bryson makes sense of the man behind the masterpieces. As he leads us through the crowded streets of Elizabethan England, he brings to life the places and characters that inspired Shakespeare's work.

Along the way he delights in the inventiveness of Shakespeare's language, which has given us so many of the indispensable words and phrases we use today, and celebrates the Bard's legacy to our literature, culture and history. Drawing together information from a vast array of sources, this is a masterful account of the life and works of William Shakespeare, one of the most famous and most enigmatic people ever to have lived - not to mention a classic piece of Bill Bryson.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“Bill Bryson has yet to disappoint. . . . This examination is likely to stick with you because of Bryson’s humor, deep love of language, and clear fondness for his subject.”–Boston Globe
William Shakespeare, the most celebrated poet in the English language, left behind nearly a million words of text, but his biography has long been a thicket of wild supposition arranged around scant facts. With a steady hand and his trademark wit, Bill Bryson sorts through this colorful muddle to reveal the man himself. His Shakespeare is like no one else’s—–the beneficiary of Bryson’s genial nature, his engaging skepticism, and a gift for storytelling unrivaled in our time.
“A telling glance at one of history’s most unknowable figures.”–Kirkus Reviews
Eminent Lives
Succinct, essayistic, and enlivened by a strong point of view, the Eminent Lives series joins a distinguished literary tradition—–great writers on great figures, short biographies perfect for an age short on time.
