Produktbeschreibung

Dark ambition stalks the misty highlands. In the shadowed halls of Scotland, Shakespeare's Macbeth unravels a tale of power seized and souls undone. This enduring tragedy play, set against the brooding backdrop of 17th century England's fascination with fate and free will, explores the corrosive effects of unchecked ambition and the haunting grip of guilt and madness. A pillar of classic English literature and a cornerstone of the high school curriculum, Macbeth stands as a masterwork of Elizabethan drama. Its timeless conflicts-loyalty and betrayal, prophecy and choice-invite readers to question the boundaries between destiny and self-destruction. The Scottish setting, rich with foreboding and intrigue, lends a chilling atmosphere that continues to captivate both new audiences and seasoned collectors of classic literary works. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Whether you are discovering the works of Shakespeare for the first time or seeking an educational edition worthy of your library, this is more than a play: it is a cultural touchstone, restored for the minds and imaginations of today and tomorrow.

Autorenporträt

James Anthony is an award-winning, multi-genre author from London, England. With a keen eye, sharp wit, and poetic irreverence, he retold all 154 of Shakespeare's sonnets in modern verse, published by Penguin Random House in 2018. Described by Stephen Fry as 'a dazzling success,' he continues to retell the Bard's greatest plays in his popular 'Shakespeare Retold' series. When not tackling the Bard, Anthony is an offbeat travel writer, documenting his trips in his 'Slow Road' series, earning him the moniker the English Bill Bryson.
