Více o knize

The compilation of plays, published in 1623, was meticulously assembled by Shakespeare's friends and colleagues, John Heminges and Henry Condell, after the playwright's death. They aimed to provide a definitive collection that corrected earlier, flawed versions of his works, which they described as "stol'n and surreptitious." Emphasizing authenticity, they claimed this edition presents Shakespeare's true words in their complete form, ensuring that readers experience the plays as the author intended.
