«Richard III» is the play by William Shakespeare, published in 2004 by J'ai lu in paperback (128 pages, in French).
Richard, Duke of Gloucester, stops at nothing to seize the throne of England: the play follows his crimes, his betrayals and the vengeance Margaret predicts. It echoes the famous cry of the monarch who offers his kingdom for a horse, one of the most memorable quotes in Shakespearean theatre.
The edition offers the complete text in French, translated by François-Victor Hugo. It is the last title in the Wars of the Roses series and closes the tetralogy that begins with the three parts of Henry VI.
For literature students and readers interested in classical theatre and Shakespeare's historical plays.
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.
