Opis: Sonnets - William Shakespeare

'Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom.' Sonnets are for romantics, starry-eyed lovers and ardent hearts. And Shakespeare's sonnets are the best ever written. But this is why they are also for cynics, for star-crossed lovers and for those who know the anguish of unrequited love. Some of them are written to a young man, some of them to a woman. And although the poems are full of mystery - why did Shakespeare write them, what was his sexuality? - each one speaks to us from across the centuries of love, hate and the intensity of being alive. Includes exclusive content: In the 'Backstory' you can find a short, handy, funny guide to everything you might want to know about Shakespeare and his sonnets. "This is a crazy, all-consuming, feverish and sweaty love; love, in all its uncut, full-strength intensity; an adolescent love". (Don Paterson, Guardian). "The great master who knew everything...an unspeakable source of delight" -- Charles Dickens "Every age has reinvented the Bard in its own image. Renaissance Man or post-modern angst... Shakespeare haunts our language" Independent "Shakespeare was the most consummate genius of all time" -- Peter Ackroyd "Dante and Shakespeare divide the modern world between them, there is no third" -- T.S. Eliot "Every single character in Shakespeare is as much an Individual as those in Life itself" -- Alexander Pope
