Na dánském hradu Elsinor se začne zjevovat duch bývalého panovníka. Když se setká s princem Hamletem, prozradí mu strašlivé tajemství: Claudius, dánský král, získal trůn zákeřnou vraždou svého předchůdce. Hamlet přislíbí otcovu duchu pomstu a tím začne neúprosný sled mnoha tragických událostí. Tato divadelní hra se dočkala dlouhé řady filmových zpracování, i když ani jedno nedokázalo dosáhnout dokonalé úrovně a filozofické hloubky originálu. Slavný Hamletův monolog o životě a jeho smyslu se stal nedílnou součástí evropské kultury.

One of the leading figures of the English Romantic movement, and an inspiration for many future poets, John Keats' works such as "Ode to a Nightingale," "To Autumn," and "Ode on a Grecian Urn" are among the best-loved poems of all time. In this new biography, Robert Mighall charts the life of this brilliant poet, from the premature deaths of both his parents, to his early writings and unkind treatment from critics, his travels and friendship with the Shelleys, and his untimely death at the age of 25. Interspersed in his life story are extracts from Keats’s poems to offer a unique insight into both the man and his work.

Robert Mighall's book combines the insights of Alain de Botton with the themes of The Cloudspotter's Guide, celebrating the beauty and significance of sunshine.

Jediná rozsáhlejší próza Oscara Wilda předvádí na fantastickém příběhu aristokrata, jemuž kouzelná moc propůjčila věčnou krásu a mládí, rozpor mezi morálkou a estetickým prožitkem – zatímco Dorian Gray zůstává stále dvacetiletý, jeho dokonalá podoba na plátně stárne a oškliví podle toho, kolik dívčích srdcí zlomil a kolik nadějných mladíků přivedl do zkázy.

The Importance of Being Earnest is both Oscar Wilde's most important and funniest play. As the subtitle suggests there is more to this play than its farcical nature suggests. Wilde calls into question the nature of identity while poking fun at proper British manners and the aristocracy. Even after one hundred years, The Importance of Being Earnest continues to be the standard by which all other farces are judged. Wilder Publications is a green publisher.
