検索キーワード： "William Shakespeare" 自伝・回顧録

William Shakespeare. Born April 1564, at Stratford-upon-Avon. Died April 1616. Married Anne Hathaway: two daughters, one son. Actor, poet, famous playwright. Wrote nearly forty plays. But what was he like as a man? What did he think about when he rode into London for the first time... or when he was writing his plays Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet... or when his only son died? We know the facts of his life, but we can only guess at his hopes, his fears, his dreams.

Jürgen Steffan spricht über das Leben von William Shakespeare und seine Dichtkunst sowie diese seiner Zeitgenossen.

Nel 2016 ricorrono i quattrocento anni dalla morte di William Shakespeare. In realtà, nel 1616 morì un attore semianalfabeta di Stratford che si era impossessato del nome d'arte e delle opere di due italiani, Michelangelo e Giovanni Florio, padre e figlio emigrati in Inghilterra perché ricercati dall'Inquisizione. Negli ultimi quattro secoli sono stati occultati e forse distrutti documenti e scritti che conducevano a una verità diversa da quella che oggi conosciamo. Ma un delitto, si dice, non è mai perfetto. Non s'immaginava, infatti, che nelle opere di Shakespeare esistessero messaggi in codice, frasi apparentemente banali e prive di senso contenenti informazioni indirizzate ai pochi in grado di decifrarle.

William Shakespeare is one of the most recognizable names in the world. Regardless of country, language, age, or gender, people are familiar with the Bard’s work and his contributions to literature, theater, art, and music. His genius was so evident that he became famous and respected throughout England in his own lifetime, eventually earning the attention and patronage of the king himself.

Wie kaum ein anderer Dichter steht William Shakespeare paradigmatisch nicht nur für eine, für seine Epoche, sondern für die englische, ja für die europäische Dichtung insgesamt.

In welchem sozialen und geistigen Kontext ist er geworden, wer er war; was hat für ihn das Theater bedeutet, was er für das Theater seiner Zeit und späterer Epochen?

William Shakespeare is the celebrated script writer of the most popular plays in the English language. By writing both tragedies, romances, and comedies in the 16th century, he made a name for himself and became successful in the art of drama. Shakespeare’s life and decisions led to his acclaim, and in this audiobook, we will lay out some of the most significant changes in both his personal choices and his career. Despite of his financial debts, his complex family life, and his background, he was able to entertain his audiences both in his time and for centuries after his death.
