«Cymbeline» is the play by William Shakespeare published by Blurb in paperback (164 pages, in English).
The play is set in ancient Britain and centres on King Cymbeline, a vassal of Rome, and his daughter Imogen, who secretly marries Posthumus. When the king banishes him, the queen conspires to marry Imogen to her son Cloten. Jealousy, deceit and misunderstandings test the characters' innocence.
Also known as «Cymbeline, King of Britain», it appears as a tragedy in the First Folio, though modern critics often consider it a romance.
A work for readers of Elizabethan theatre and English literary classics.
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.
