Don Quixote

Om boken

A tale of unbridled greed and an insatiable thirst for power set in eleventh-century Scotland, Macbeth has long been recognized as Shakespeare's fastest-moving tragedy, combining relentless narrative momentum with a profound examination of how psychological coercion mixed with personal ambition can lead to murder – and how individual impulses can shape both a man's own destiny and the course of history. This fully annotated edition makes the text accessible to twenty-first-century readers, enabling them to appreciate its poetry and encouraging them to delve deeper into its variegated and complex history. Features include light editorial approach making the text more accessible to modern readers, meticulous editing faithful to the first Folio of 1623, over 900 textual notes for a clearer or fuller understanding of a word, sentence or passage, historical notes at the end of the book, an appendix with modernised and annotated Holinshed text, Middleton's witches' songs, and consideration of all modern Shakespeare scholarship.
