Publisher's Synopsis
"The reading of all good books is like conversation with the finest (people) of the past centuries." - Descartes
Read Shakespeare's plays in all their brilliance-and understand what every word means! In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare creates a tragic world in which two young people fall in love. It is not simply that their families disapprove; the Montagues and the Capulets are engaged in a blood feud. This play, set in an extraordinary world, has become the quintessential story of young love. This new full-cast recording - based on the most respected edition of Shakespeare's classic - expertly produced by the Folger Theatre, is perfect for students, teachers, and the everyday listener. A 19th century classics literature edition.
