King Lear (New Folger Library Shakespeare) 莎士比亞經典劇作《李爾王》 價格比較,價格查詢,價格歷史信息

《李爾王》是莎士比亞四大悲劇中最成熟的作品，講述年老的李爾把國土分給三個女兒，但恩賜之前先要女兒聲言多麼愛他。大女兒二女兒都講出一番動聽言詞，小女兒則不願花言巧語，結果應得的國土被兩個姊姊分去，在毫無嫁妝的情況下嫁給賞識她的法國皇帝。李爾遜位之後受到大女兒二女兒虐待，最後在暴風雨中發瘋。小女兒聽到父王受虐，領兵入侵欲救李爾，最後兵敗遭擒。結局時小女兒遇害，李爾亦傷心而死。這齣悲劇另有一劇情主線，陳述葛勞斯特伯爵聽信庶子讒言，欲殺嫡子，但最後弄得雙眼被挖，孤苦伶仃之下，反受嫡子護持。這兩條劇情、兩家人物相互激蕩之下，更使此劇哲理深遠，幅度廣闊；莎翁詞藻之美角色之精亦不在話下。 Shakespeare’s King Lear challenges us with the magnitude, intensity, and sheer duration of the pain that it represents. Its figures harden their hearts, engage in violence, or try to alleviate the suffering of others. Lear himself rages until his sanity cracks. What, then, keeps bringing us back to King Lear? For all the force of its language, King Lear is almost equally powerful when translated, suggesting that it is the story, in large part, that draws us to the play. The play tells us about families struggling between greed and cruelty, on the one hand, and support and consolation, on the other. Emotions are extreme, magnified to gigantic proportions. We also see old age portrayed in all its vulnerability, pride, and, perhaps, wisdom—one reason this most devastating of Shakespeare’s tragedies is also perhaps his most moving.
