Více o knize

Set in the mid-1590s, this early Shakespearean comedy explores the King of Navarre and his friends who vow to avoid women for three years to focus on their studies. Their resolve is tested when they fall for the Princess of France and her ladies, leading to a humorous conflict between their oaths and desires. Uniquely, the play concludes with the death of the Princess's father, postponing all weddings for a year. Key themes include masculine love, desire, and the tension between reality and fantasy.
