COMING SOON: Shakespeare minden időkre

Why Shakespeare? Why has this guy been written about for hundreds of years? Why can't we get rid of him? Why can't we get tired of him? Why do we have to write another book about him?" asks the author, who, 33 years after the publication of the last book in Hungarian on the complete career of Shakespeare, provides answers to all these questions in his scholarly and highly entertaining monograph, which is very timely. And as a woman researcher, she is not only able to add to our knowledge of the past thirty years of research!
Natália Pikli's presentation and analysis of the centuries-old, ever-expanding Shakespearean universe is based on the latest findings of international and Hungarian scholarship: she reviews the playwright's career, revealing the inner, specific mechanisms of the plays' operation, not forgetting the cultural context of England at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. What makes this “Shakespeare bible” even more special, however, is its look at films and theatre performances of the 20th and 21st centuries, its personal interest and sensitivity to problems, its exceptionally dynamic and witty language. For behind the science there is the man, and with him it is (inevitably) more exciting to re-read Shakespeare's works - for all ages and all times.
