In the aftermath of a colossal battle, the future of the Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance once again-beset by newly emerging threats from every direction.

Greece in the age of Heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the kingdom of Phthia. Here he is nobody, just another unwanted boy living in the shadow of King Peleus and his golden son, Achilles.

Yet one day, Achilles takes the shamed prince under his wing and soon their tentative companionship gives way to a steadfast friendship. As they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine, their bond blossoms into something far deeper - despite the displeasure of Achilles`s mother Thetis, a cruel and deathly pale sea goddess with a hatred of...

Трагический надрыв, шёпот страсти, яркие образы - всё это мастерски сплетено в знаменитых сонетах, которые до сих пор остаются эталоном английской поэзии.

An elaborately annotated edition of Shakespeare`s masterpieces of wit and erotic word-play. When a volume of poetry entitled Shakespeares Sonnets. Never before Imprinted appeared in 1609, Shakespeare was forty-five and most of his greatest plays had seen several performances. Some of the sonnets, speaking of the begetting of children, mortality and memory, art, desire and jealousy, are addressed to a beloved youth; others are addressed to a treacherous mistress, a dark lady. Appended to the sonnets is A Lover`s Complaint, a beautiful poem in rhyme-royal in which a young woman is overheard lamenting her betrayal by a heartless seducer. While Shakespeare`s biographers continue their investigations, readers may find the secret of the...

Сонеты Шекспира озадачивают современного читателя, как озадачивали, едва появившись. Сонетная форма по определению очаровывает предвкушением традиционности, и шекспировские сонеты не лишены этого очарования. Но сладость классического сонета соседствует у Шекспира со сниженной, подчас натуралистической образностью, эпатирующим пафосом, роднящими его уже не с Петраркой, но с прoклятыми поэтами. Многие...

INTRODUCTION BY GERMAINE GREER. Shakespeare's sonnets are lyrical, haunting, beautiful and often breath-taking, representing one of the finest bodies of poetry ever penned. They demonstrate the writer's skill in capturing the full range of human emotions within a carefully prescribed form and creating something unique in every one. Some are familiar - Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? - others unexpected, but together they form an extraordinary meditation on the nature of love, lust, beauty and time.
