About This Item
Simon & Schuster, London, 2002 Unread as new FIRST PRINTING of the UK first edition hardback, in a perfect protected jacket. RARE to find this true first hardback in perfect condition - many copies of the first printing went into the libraries. This extraordinary book was hailed as a masterpiece by many reviewers. It mixes real life with illuminating passages from Shakespeare's plays and sonnets. Like Shakespeare himself, this is a grand mixture of laughter, tears, drama and sublime pleasure. An example of the redemptive power of literature, and a great way of making readers understand why people continue to fall in love with the magnificent works of Shakespeare, 500 years after the man himself disappeared. Wonderful and moving, Neil Simon wrote 'A magnificent book, poetic, sad, and brilliant'. Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng. 1st Edition.. Hardcover.
