Description
Illustrated by leading UK manga artists, this series feeds into the growing popularity of manga worldwide, and presents Shakespeare's classic works in a highly visual and dynamic form.
Shakespeare's tale of fantasy has fascinated audiences for centuries and is the perfect platform for a new generation to fall in love with Shakespeare's genius.
In The Tempest, Prospero, robbed of his dukedom, is marooned on a wild island with his daughter Miranda. He uses his magic skills to shipwreck his usurping brother and those who exiled him. Prospero calls forth the spirit Ariel to torment the castaways, but it is the greater power of love that triumphs.

As You Like It
As You Like It is perhaps Shakespeare's sunniest comedy, but there are patches of shade amidst the love-drenched brightness. Political corruption, fraternal rivalry, and melancholy all serve as thematic counterpoints to Shakespeare's investigation of how release from the constraints of court, city, and even gender can permit a profound development of the self. In this manga, the Arcadian beauty of...Paperback$2295Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
