Description

Nesbit’s Shakespeare as a teacher of life: plays cut to wisdom you can follow on the page, plain modern English. Sovereign ebook of Tales of Wisdom — not a commonplace book of quotes. Plot as lesson, character as cost. The great teacher without the schoolmaster’s cane. Folio weather translated into story pace. For readers who want the plays’ sense without living in the notes. Shakespeare’s counsel in Nesbit’s prose: how a life goes wrong, and what a fool still knows.

Author

William Shakespeare (1564–1616) remains the centre of English-language drama: poet, player, and shareholder of the Globe. Tragedy, comedy, and history still turn on his lines. Interactive Media publishes the plays as reading and listening editions for a worldwide audience.
