Beschreibung

First published in 1990, 'The Tempest' is a play by William Shakespeare, an English playwright, poet, and actor. He is widely considered the most splendid writer in the English language and the world's most remarkable dramatist.<p>It is set on a remote island, where Prospero, the suitable Duke of Milan, plots to restore his daughter Miranda to her proper place using illusion and skillful manipulation. He invokes a storm, the eponymous tempest, to lure his usurping brother Antonio and the complicit King Alonso of Naples to the island.</p><p>The characters outshine the roles of villains and heroes. Prospero seems heroic, yet he enslaves Caliban and has a hunger for revenge. Caliban seems to be a monster for attacking Miranda but appears heroic in opposing Prospero, prompting the period of colonialism during which the play was written. Miranda's engagement to Ferdinand, the Prince of Naples and a member of the shipwrecked party helps resolve the drama.</p><p>Top 10 Hardcover Library Books:</p><p>A Wrinkle in Time (9789389440188)</p><p>How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (9789387669161)</p><p>Their Eyes Were Watching God (9789389440577)</p><p>The Magic of Believing (9789388118217)</p><p>Zen in the Art of Archery (9789354990298)</p><p>A Cloud by Day, a Fire by Night (9789391181611)</p><p>Siddhartha by Hermann hesse (9789387669116)</p><p>The Richest Man in Babylon (9789354990717)</p><p>The Book of Five Rings (9789389440553)</p><p>The Knowledge of the Holy (9789389157239)</p><p>Note: Search by ISBN</p>
