First edition of King Lear
Description
Book Introduction
Other tragedies cannot match it
A work with an overwhelming sense of conflict and tragedy.
William Shakespeare's King Lear is considered the most sublime and tragic of the four major tragedies.
This is because the breadth of the conflict, including the protagonist's internal conflict and the clash between personal ethics and social justice, and the depth of the tragic emotions surpass all other tragedies.
At the time, the scale of this work was so cosmic that it was thought impossible to screen it in theaters.
This work, believed to have been written around 1605, came out at a time when Shakespeare was producing a lot of tragedies.
This work is evaluated as a work that deeply explores human identity represented by good and evil.
In particular, there is no work in which good and evil are clearly distinguished as much as in King Lear.
Let's meet King Lear, which beautifully expresses the tragedy of life and the difficult journey of discovering the essence of humanity through the extreme conflict between good and evil, the end of good due to evil, and the extinction of evil, in a mini-book with the original first edition cover design from The Story.
