Books by Charles Lamb

"Det er en farlig sag for unge piger at blive smukke unge hertugers fortrolige; det fik Viola snart til sin sorg at mærke, for ved alt, hvad Orsino fortalte hende om sine lidelser for Olivias skyld, opdagede hun, at hun led af kærlighed til ham; hun var forbavset over, at Olivia kunne være så ufølsom overfor denne hendes uforlignelige herre og mester..."Charles og Mary Lamb genfortæller nogle af Shakespeares mest berømte og elskede skuespil for unge læsere. Ikoniske karakterer som Macbeth, Hamlet, Kong Lear og Romeo og Julie vækkes til live fra fortællingerne af samme navn.Charles Lamb (1775-1834) var en engelsk essayist og kritiker. Han var især kendt og elsket for sine klassiske genfortællinger af Shakespeare, som han skrev sammen med sin søster Mary Lamb. Charles Lamb var født i London og kunne egentlig ikke trives andre steder. Han var et udpræget bymenneske og en selskabelig natur, der satte pris på en pibe tobak og et godt glas sammen med sine mange litterære kollegaer og venner.
