Produktinformationen zu „Shakespeare “
Bis heute ist über das Leben des großen englischen Dichters wenig bekannt. Bestsellerautor Bill Bryson schafft es dennoch, eine brillante Biografie zu schreiben in seiner gewohnt kurzweiligen und humorvollen Art. Aus vielen Quellen fügt er Informationen zusammen, achtet auf kleinste Details. Und so entsteht allmählich ein Bild des Menschen hinter den Meisterwerken der Weltliteratur. Bryson nimmt uns mit auf eine spannende Reise durch die Straßen zu Shakespeares Zeit. »Brillantly funny and gently insightful.« (Sunday Times)
Klappentext zu „Shakespeare “
Following his international bestsellers 'A Short History of Nearly Everything' and 'The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid', Bill Bryson has written, with his usual inimitable wit and intelligence, a short biography of William Shakespeare for the Eminent Lives series - which seeks to pair great subjects with writers known for their strong sensibilities and sharp, lively points of view. Shakespeare's life, despite the scrutiny of generations of biographers and scholars, is still a thicket of myths and traditions, some preposterous, some conflicting, arranged around the few scant facts known about the Bard - from his birth in Stratford to the bequest of his second best bed to his wife when he died.

Rezension zu „Shakespeare “
'A delight...A gem of a book.' Mail on Sunday 'Witty and infectiously enthusiastic.' Spectator 'A brilliantly funny and gently insightful travel guide to 16th century England. Bryson is great at picking out of the morass of Elizabethan fact the small details that illuminate and amuse...he also uncovers from the world that surrounded the theatre some fascinating examples of Elizabethan eccentricity...As an abbreviated tour around the world of Shakespeare, this could hardly be bettered.' Sunday Times 'Bryson uses an inimitably light touch and squeezes a vast subject down to manageable proportions...he is a warm and funny guide through the whole complicated morass of Shakespearean scholarship.' Financial Times
