Timon of Athens

Více o knize

The story follows Timon, a wealthy Athenian who epitomizes generosity and friendship, believing his companions to be as loyal as he is. However, when his wealth disappears, so do his so-called friends, leaving him isolated and embittered. Disillusioned by humanity, he retreats to the wilderness, where he expresses his disdain for society. Timon's complex character showcases deep emotions of love and rage, making him a compelling figure. Scholars suggest that this lesser-known Shakespearean play may be incomplete or a collaboration with Thomas Middleton.
