«A Midsummer Night's Dream» is the theatrical comedy by William Shakespeare, published by Penguin Popular Classics in paperback (112 pages, in English).
Four young Athenians flee the law of their city and take refuge in a forest where the fairy kings, Oberon and Titania, are in dispute. The magical games of the spirits turn love into a labyrinth of confusion, while some craftsmen, among them the weaver Nick Bottom, add more entanglement. The chaos eventually resolves and harmony is restored.
Complete and unabridged edition, with introduction, notes and glossary. The play was originally published in 1595.
Suitable for students of English literature and for readers who wish to approach Shakespeare in his original language.
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.
