Erscheinungstermin: 26. Januar 2012 | Reihe: Clothbound Classics
Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. When this volume of Shakespeare's poems first appeared in 1609, he had already written most of the great plays that made him famous. The 154 sonnets - all but two of which are addressed to a beautiful young man or a treacherous 'dark lady' - contain some of the most exquisite and haunting poetry ever written, and deal with eternal subjects such as love and infidelity, memory and mortality, and the destruction wreaked by Time. Also included is A Lover's Complaint, originally published with the sonnets, in which a young woman is overheard lamenting her betrayal by a heartless seducer.

This review is not about the text itself, but the presentation done by Penguin and Bickford-Smith. As with each of her designs in this series it is beautiful. A timeless presentation of a literary classic.

5.0 von 5 SternenBeautifully bound voluem14. Januar 2013
Another beautifully bound Penguin Classic. A hard-bound collection of Shakespeare's sonnets is mandatory for any library of classic literature. Please do yourself a favor and don't purchase this book for your stupid kindle. Purchase it for your shelf or coffee table. Purchase it for your family and friends to read and reread throughout the years.
Highly recommend this and any other Penguin Classic hardcover in this beautifully crafted series.

5.0 von 5 SternenThe Wife Loved this book.14. Januar 2013
My wife collects classic books and anything that is old. She mostly buys to read them but alot of the time she buys them just to decorate and add some old school look to our house. Great book.
