Hundreds of specialists were able to translate his works into every major language, and most of the plays are performed more often than those of any other author. "The Tempest" traditionally considered one of the last Shakespeare plays. The plot of this tragicomedy revolves around the magician Prospero, the Duke of Milan, who was overthrown by his brother Antonio and the King of Naples, Alonso, and exiled from Milan. Both he and his daughter Miranda were put on an old ship and sent to the open sea, forcing them to go on a dangerous adventure.

The Tales of Belkin were the first work of prose fiction to be completed by Russia`s greatest poet, Alexander Pushkin. Written over a short period in the autumn of 1830, and sometimes referred to as `the little parodies`, the five stories reflect a number of the key interests of European writers of the time, such as the Byronic hero, the Gothic novel, and the tale of the supernatural.
