«Macbeth» is the tragedy by William Shakespeare, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (208 pages, in English).
Macbeth, seduced by the prophecies of the three witches and pressured by his wife, acts driven by excessive political ambition, with tragic consequences. The play pits its protagonists against each other and against infernal forces, and sustains the central debate of who or what is guilty of the fall.

For literature students and readers of classical theatre who want an edition with introduction, notes and textual commentary.
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" or simply "the Bard". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, 3 long narrative poems and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
