Více o knize

Set in 1816, this large print edition explores the works of Ben Jonson, a prominent literary figure during King James I's reign. Known for his mastery of classical themes, Jonson's tragedy "Sejanus" delves into the downfall of Tiberius's arrogant favorite, reflecting medieval tragedy influences. While it initially failed, his later work "Volpone" showcases a cunning battle of wits among morally corrupt characters. Additionally, "The Silent Woman" presents a farcical tale driven by a deceptive plot, culminating in unexpected twists.
