Meet the Author: 
William Shakespeare


William Shakespeare (26 April 1564 - 23 April 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "the Bard"). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays,154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of the uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. His works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.



This was long thought to be the only portrait of William Shakespeare that had any claim to have been painted from life, until another possible life portrait, the Cobbe portrait, was revealed in 2009. The portrait is known as the 'Chandos portrait' after a previous owner, James Brydges, 1st Duke of Chandos. It was the first portrait to be acquired by the National Portrait Gallery in 1856. The artist may be by a painter called John Taylor who was an important member of the Painter-Stainers' Company.

Theatrical Play Reading



Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna and twins Hamnet and Judith. Sometime between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. At age 49 (around 1613), he appears to have retired to Stratford, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare's private life survive; this has stimulated considerable speculation about such matters as his physical appearance, his sexuality, his religious beliefs, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others.

Shakespeare produced most of his known works between 1589 and 1613. His early plays were primarily comedies and histories and are regarded as some of the best work produced in these genres. He then wrote mainly tragedies until 1608, among them Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, all considered to be among the finest works in the English language. In the last phase of his life, he wrote tragicomedies (also known as romances) and collaborated with other playwrights.

Romeo and Juliet


One of Shakespeare's most popular and accessible plays, Romeo and Juliet tells the story of two star-crossed lovers and the unhappy fate that befell them as a result of a long and bitter feud between their families. The play contains some of Shakespeare's most beautiful and lyrical love poetry and is perhaps the finest celebration of the joys of young love ever written. This inexpensive edition includes complete, unabridged text with explanatory footnotes. Ideal for classroom use, it is a wonderful addition to the home library of anyone wanting to savor one of literature's most sublime paeans to love.

The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark


Often shortened to Hamlet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare sometime between 1599 and 1601. It is Shakespeare's longest play, with 29,551 words. Set in Denmark, the play depicts Prince Hamlet and his revenge against his uncle, Claudius, who has murdered Hamlet's father in order to seize his throne and marry Hamlet's mother.

Hamlet is considered among the most powerful and influential works of world literature, with a story capable of "seemingly endless retelling and adaptation by others". It was one of Shakespeare's most popular works during his lifetime and still ranks among his most-performed, topping the performance list of the Royal Shakespeare Company and its predecessors in Stratford-upon-Avon since 1879. It has inspired many other writers—from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Charles Dickens to James Joyce and Iris Murdoch—and has been described as "the world's most filmed story.

  ПИКАДО Рака је купио пикадо. Пре тога је дуго размишљао, не о пикаду али до пикада је на крају дошао. Његов след мисли већ дуже време је био поприлично конфузан: „Схватам да сам угожен...осећам то… како, од кога, на који начин – на све начине али неизвесност траје...сада слушам ове псе како бесомично лају, не престају, то су комшијски пси и ужасни су...заробљени, јадни, тих пар квадратних метара… али ја више не гледам телевизор, не купујем новине, немам другове, више немам информације...искључио сам мобилни и онако ме више одавно нико не зове… и шта?! Ништа, не могу да се жалим...мирно је...ови пси али некако се навикнеш...шта да радим, да живимсам на планину...не, не, добро је овде овако само треба вежбати...треба вежбати стрпљење...ту је кључ ... ствар је у томе да морам и кући вежбати...физички, психички а после и духовно… поента је да морам вежбати и код куће… ни музику више не слушам! Морам брзо нешто да смислим и то неку вежбу за фокусирање, за психички мир…“ - тако некако ...

Kosta je stajao na tankoj crti, floroscentno plave boje... Osećao je da isijava sopstvenom unutrašnjom svetlošću i da ima razloga što stoji na crti, koju je između ostalog, da spomenemo, sam stvorio. Oko Koste i crte nema ničega. Kosta je u mraku i njemu je to bilo dovoljno. Taj mrak je bio njegov, on je zamislio takav mrak... Kosta je poželeo da se pored njega, u mraku, pojavi božanstvena, prelepa boginja-muza, koja će ga napojiti svojim inspirativnim darovima. Muza se pojavila i bila je slepa. Znao je da će biti slepa, to je i želeo. Stajala je kao kip, kao živi slepi mit. Uživao je. Napajao se „božanstvenom“ energijom svoje boginje. Disao je duboko i teško, osetio je da mu se disanje usporava i da srce počinje jako da mu udara. Uplašio se... Boginja je ostala nema i sjajno slepa. Njeno slepilo je isijavalo snažnu, belu, svetlost koju Kosta sada više nije mogao da podnese. Želeo je nazada u svoj mrak. Ništa više, samo nazad u  svoj mrak. Sve je nestalo... Ostao je mrak i florosce...

  Outcome On Gunpoint Ishod Na Nišanu "Ode to Loyalty" Thought ... Like a razor, like a flash of light like a red diamond, like a dot. * A boat full of feelings is flying these days With a crust of heavy imagination Unreachable ideal In funeral gowns With empty hands - with no sense A little different from understanding anything On the horizon of a magnificent sight Under masks Under dry branches With the feeling of stuck rotten leaves on the soles With tears in his eyes and big pupils full of obedience and fear ... Then, it means a lot An ode to loyalty In trouble On a stone path Among the thorns On the edge... "Oda O Odanosti"   Misao, misao, misao... Kao oštrica brijača, kao udar svetla kao crveni dijamant, kao tačka. * Jurca ovih dana barka puna osećanja, Sa korom tvrde mašte, Nepostižnih ideala U odorama Praznih ruku - bez smisla Malo drugačije od poimanja bilo čega Na obzorju veličanstvenog prizora Pod maskama Ispod suvih grana Sa osećajem zalepljenog trulog l...
