«The Tempest» is the play by William Shakespeare, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (112 pages, in English).
A violent storm, raised by the magician Prospero, wrecks near his island the ship carrying the court of Naples. The survivors land in a place populated by spirits and strange creatures, where conspiracies, mistaken identities, love and deceit intertwine, and nothing is what it seems.
Written in 1611 and considered Shakespeare's last play, this 2007 edition belongs to the Penguin Popular Classics collection.
For literature students, lovers of classical theater and readers approaching Shakespeare for the first time.
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.
