"The Merchant of Venice" is perhaps most associated not with its titular hero, Antonio, but with the complex figure of the money-lender, Shylock. The play was described as a comedy in the First Folio but its modern audiences find it more problematic to categorize. The vilification of Shylock 'the Jew' can be very uncomfortable for a post-holocaust audience, and debates continue as to whether Shakespeare's portrayal of this complex man is sympathetic or anti-semitic. A exacting and controversial comedy, "The Merchant of Venice" explores prejudice and the true nature of justice. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Shakespeare died over 400 years ago and no story captures the mysticism and brutality of Scottish history quite like 'Macbeth'. This graphic novel aims to tell the darkest version yet of this tale of witchcraft, murder, manipulation, and unbridled ambition...

The pacing of the panels and scene setting serves to clarify aspects of the play that can be hard to understand on the stage. In addition to this graphic novel adaptation, this volume also includes the original playscript by William Shakespeare. The combination of both the graphic novel and original script in a durable and handsome softcover makes this the perfect addition to the shelves of avid Shakespeare readers, collectors, librarians, students, and teachers.

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. The discourses of the great Stoic philosopher Epictetus are regarded as some of the most influential teachings of the ancient world. Born into slavery and sent into exile before setting up a school of philosophy, Epictetus delivered a series of lectures where he argued that true happiness comes only when we learn to distinguish what is within our power and what is beyond our personal control. Using George Long's 1890 translation, this edition includes a selection of Epictetus' key principles, as well as a manual of his core philosophy, the Encheiridion. With clarity, conviction and timeless wisdom that is as relevant today as it was two thousand years ago, these teachings navigate the complexities of the human condition and offer rational guidance for the turmoil of modern life. About the Author Born into slavery in AD 55, Epictetus was one of the greatest Stoic philosophers of Roman antiquity. His Discourses - a series of lectures taught at his school of philosophy in Nicopolis - were transcribed by his student Arrian, and offer practical guidance on how to follow stoicism in daily life.

Othello is an intense drama of love, deception, jealousy and destruction. Desdemona's love for her husband Othello, the Moor, transcends racial prejudice; but his trusted ensign, the envious Iago, conspires to devastate their lives. In its vivid rendering of the savagery lurking within civilization, Othello is arguably the most topical and accessible tragedy from Shakespeare's major phase as a dramatist. The play raises uncomfortable and pertinent questions about both racial identity and sexuality, as Othello and Desdemona's relationship becomes the voyeuristic site of Iago's attempt to destroy them. This Macmillan Collector's Library edition is illustrated throughout by renowned artist Sir John Gilbert (1817-1897), and includes an introduction by Ned Halley.Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles.

eBook:,V této knize je popsán příběh německého ponorkového esa z druhé světové války Wernera Henkeho, jenž se svou ponorkou U-515 potopil víc plavidel (24 obchodních a 2 válečné lodě), než kterýkoli německý ponorkový velitel v období po září 1942. Henke, krajně nezávislá osobnost, byl téměř degradován a propuštěn z válečného námořnictva, aby se pak stal jedním z jeho největších hrdinů. Dva týdny po tom, co jej Hitler vyznamenal jedním z nejvyšších řádů, se Henke střetl s gestapem, aby bránil své přátele. Jádro této knihy tvoří vylíčení, jak a proč jeho život skončil na ostnatém drátě oplocení zajateckého tábora u Washingtonu, D.C. - Henke byl jediný velitel ponorky zastřelený ve Spojených státech při pokusu o útěk.Když Mulligan zkoumá prostředí a postoje posádky - včetně jejích názorů na Hitlera a na zacházení s Židy - vrhá nové světlo na muže tvořící elitu Hitlerova wehrmachtu. Příběh U-515 má také úzký vztah k celkovému vedení ponorkové války, včetně zhodnocení strategie Karla Dőnitze, vlivu technických inovací a příspěvků spojenecké odposlechové výzvědné služby. Aby autor mohl sepsat tento příběh, strávil šest let pátráním v německých, amerických a britských archivech a rozhovory s Henkeho přáteli, protivníky a členy jeho posádky. Výsledkem není jen popis Henkeho života, ale i detailní historie úspěšné ponorky a její posádky v boji proti zdrcující přesile. Kniha je doplněna dokumentárními fotografiemi. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

The 154 sonnets - all but two of which are addressed to a beautiful young man or a treacherous 'dark lady' - contain some of the most exquisite and haunting poetry ever written, and deal with eternal subjects such as love and infidelity, memory and mortality, and the destruction wreaked by Time. Also included is "A Lover's Complaint", originally published with the sonnets, in which a young woman is overheard lamenting her betrayal by a heartless seducer. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
