THE TEMPEST - WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE KARTONIERT (TB)

Performed variously as escapist fantasy  celebratory fiction  and political allegory  The
Tempest is one of the plays in which William Shakespeare's genius as a poetic dramatist found
its fullest expression. This Penguin Shakespeare edition is edited with an introduction by
Martin Butler. 'How many goodly creatures are there here!How beauteous mankind is! O brave new
world That has such people in't!' A storm rages. Prospero  his daughter Miranda  and his
monstrous servant Caliban watch from their desert island as a ship carrying the royal family is
wrecked. Miraculously  all on board survive. Plotting  mistaken identities  bewitching love and
drunkenness follow as the travellers explore the strange place of spirits and monsters on which
they have landed. They soon begin to realize all is not as it seems  in a play whose magical
setting and classical unity of time and place have inspired films as varied as Forbidden Planet
Peter Greenaway's Prospero's Books  and Julie Taymor's The Tempest  starring Helen Mirren as
'Prospera'
