Více o knize

The tragedy revolves around two young lovers, whose untimely deaths bring peace to their feuding families. Recognized as archetypal figures in romantic literature, the characters of Romeo and Juliet have captivated audiences since the play's early performances. Shakespeare's adaptation draws from earlier Italian tales, enriching the narrative with well-developed supporting characters like Mercutio and Paris. Written between 1591 and 1595, the play's initial publication faced quality issues, leading to improved editions that better reflected Shakespeare's vision.
