For years, Prospero, sorcerer and overthrown Duke of Milan, and his daughter, Miranda, have been marooned on an island of magic, both good and evil. When a ship carrying his usurping brother sails within the realm of his power, Prospero unleashes a storm that leaves the crew washed ashore, separated, and vulnerable to his enchantments—and open to forgiveness, repentance, and love.

Given its themes of reconciliation and closure, and its references to the dissolution of “the great globe,” this tragicomedy of illusion and the supernatural is believed by some critics to be Shakespeare’s spellbinding farewell to the stage.

AmazonClassics brings you timeless works from the masters of storytelling. Ideal for anyone who wants to read a great work for the first time or rediscover an old favorite, these new editions open the door to literature’s most unforgettable characters and beloved worlds.

Não à toa Shakespeare é um dos maiores escritores conhecidos

O livro é excelente do início ao fim, eu, no entanto, não recomendaria a leitura dessa obra para quem quer começar a ler Shakespeare, porque há muitos personagens e elementos que a tornam complexa. Gostei bastante de como os elementos da tragédia e da comédia se combinam na história e de como isso é amarrado no final da narrativa. Feliz por conhecer mais uma obra desse grande escritor.
