Shakespeare's Sonnets

О книге

First published in 1609, Shakespeare's Sonnets are considered as some of the most beautiful poems in the English language. Wonderful lines, such as 'Shall I compare thee to a summer's day' or 'To me, fair friend, you can never be old', evoke joy and tenderness, while others express deep passion and desire. Whether addressed to the Fair Youth, the Rival Poet or the Dark Lady, their universal themes of love, death, and the passage of time hold a meaning for everyone, and it is unsurprising that the sonnets have been translated into every major written language. This elegant edition contains all 154 poems and is a delightful addition to any library.
