William Shakespeare (1564–1616) jest powszechnie uznawany za jednego z najwybitniejszych angielskich dramaturgów oraz reformatorów teatru. Napisał trzydzieści osiem sztuk, z czego około połowy to komedie. W wypadku dzieł tego autora nie można jednak mówić o komediach we współczesnym rozumieniu tego pojęcia. Komedie Shakespeare’a zawierają w sobie tzw. biegun tragiczny, czyli nie są pozbawione konfliktu dramatycznego. Uznawane za komediowe utwory kończą się czasami scenami śmierci lub innymi formami cierpienia głównych bohaterów. Jest tu wiele miejsca dla niepowtarzalnej poetyckiej zadumy nad losem człowieka, dla tolerancyjnej akceptacji niedoskonałości natury ludzkiej i stworzonej przez nią kultury. Wszystko to kształtuje jedyną w swoim rodzaju atmosferę komedii mistrza ze Stratfordu. W multibooku znalazło się 8 najpiękniejszych komedii autora, takich jak:

„Komedia omyłek”

„Stracone zachody miłości”

„Poskromienie złośnicy”

„Dwaj panowie z Werony”

„Sen nocy letniej”

„Jak wam się podoba”

„Wesołe kumoszki z Windsoru”

„Miarka za miarkę”

William Shakespeare (1564–1616) jest powszechnie uznawany za jednego z najwybitniejszych angielskich dramaturgów oraz reformatorów teatru. Napisał trzydzieści osiem sztuk, z czego około jednej czwartej to tragedie. Tragedie mistrza ze Stratfordu w naturalny sposób stanowią przeciwieństwo jego komedii. Autor, który często pozostaje wierny wzorcom klasycznym, stawia swoich bohaterów w sytuacjach bez wyjścia, ukazuje ich słabość wobec trudności losu. W utworach tych niebagatelną rolę odgrywają monologi, w których bohaterowie zadają pytania o sens istnienia. Nawołują tym samym publiczność do refleksji nad stawianymi przez nich problemami.

„Juliusz Cezar”

The city itself, climbing a hillside almost at the water’s edge, was painted pale pink at sunset, and even the old Vesuvius, from the top of which a thin column of black smoke seemed a little less gloomy than usual. Because of heaven, the sky was a mass of golden and raspberry-colored, and this was reflected in the calm waters of the bay until the whole world turned into a real radiance. The evening could hardly be desired. And yet this is not the city, mountain or sunset that we must make, but the first movement of the conspiracy, which was ultimately destined to shake one of the greatest Empires that the Earth has ever seen.

John Osborne is a young gentleman who has left England for some, as of yet, unknown reason. He settles in Adaffia, an ends-of-the-earth type of town on the Gold Coast. Almost immediately he gets into a fight defending the only other white man in town, a drunken trader. And we see that Osborne is a tremendous fighter skilled at ju-jitsu, boxing, wrestling and strategy. These skills will come into play again and again, in a mutiny, a rebellion and other struggles with formidable opponents. His adventures at one point throw him into the company of a willful young lady who has an appetite for danger, and she and Osborne fall in love. Meanwhile back in England, „a certain Dr. Thorndyke” is investigating the crime that Osborne is supposed to have committed. This second half of the book is just as much fun as the first, involving bizarre searches for clues and meticulous examinations of minutiae, from mustache hairs to wormwood dust.
