Tempest - Hardback

A new edition of William Shakespeare's classic play, The Tempest. Written in 1610-1611, The Tempest is set on a remote island and is centered on the sorcerer Prospero, his daughter Miranda, and their two servants, Caliban and Ariel, who all live in exile on the island. One of Shakespeare's most complex and nuanced comedies, The Tempest remains a favorite of audiences and of scholars, featuring many of Shakespeare's most memorable characters and lines.

This pocket edition is based on the original Cambridge editions, first published for the general public in the 1860s, and is designed for reading ease -- the size of a standard mass market paperback, it is convenient enough to fit in your pocket, briefcase, or purse, but it features font size large enough for easy reading in any setting, margins wide enough to be marked up by students of all ages, and paper durable enough for reading again and again.
