Sinopse

William Shakespeare wrote over 30 plays and is still regarded as the greatest English writer and dramatist.As Ben Jonson — writer, admirer and friend — put it, he was ‘not for an age but for all time’.Amongst his poetry, he wrote 154 famous sonnets, the majority being addressed to a fair young man with whom an intriguing and passionate love story develops, which Shakespeare dramatizes while reflecting on the ravages of the passing time.Much has been speculated about the autobiographical nature of these sonnets and on the circumstances and motivations of their publication in 1609.The questions that we raise today may never be completely answered, but the sonnets remain a masterpiece of poetic beauty of the highest written order.This edition, a selection of 52 sonnets, tries to capture the essence of a love affair lived — or just imagined — a long time ago.
