    • Romeo and Juliet

      Englischsprachige Ausgabe mit Worterläuterungen und Nachwort

      Romeo und Julia ist die wohl berühmteste Liebesgeschichte der Welt und erfreute sich schon zu Shakespeares Lebzeiten größter Beliebtheit. Sein Drama verfasste Shakespeare um 1595 und bediente sich dabei Arthur Brookes epischen Gedichts „Romeo and Juliet“ von 1562 als Quelle. Mit erstaunlichem Instinkt verdichtet Shakespeare das Geschehen um das unsterbliche Liebespaar aus den verfeindeten Häusern Montague und Capulet und gibt der im schnellen Tempo ablaufenden Handlung ihre tragische Unaufhaltbarkeit. Noch heute zieht es Liebespaare aus aller Welt zum Schauplatz der Handlung nach Verona, wo die Szenen spielen, deren Liebesgespräche als die schönsten der Weltliteratur gelten. Das Leseheft umfasst neben dem ungekürzten Originaltext (durchgängige Vers-/Zeilenzählung) ein englischsprachiges Nachwort, eine englischsprachige Zeitleiste zu Shakespeare sowie umfangreiche englisch-englische Worterläuterungen.
