This handsome hardback edition presents William Shakespeare’s classic tragedy, Macbeth, featuring gold cover embossing and gilded page-edges.

Often referred to superstitiously as ‘the Scottish play’, Macbeth is one of Shakespeare’s best-loved works. As a general in the army of the Scottish king, Macbeth meets three witches who prophesy that he will one day take his master’s place. When the strange predictions of three witches begin to come true, the Scottish general Macbeth realises that the opportunity to become King of Scotland is within his grasp, but in order to do so he must commit murder, and one murder leads to another… and another.

A tumultuous tale of how ambition, guilt and paranoia lead to deceit and murder, it is one of the greatest studies of morality and corruption.

Author Biography

William Shakespeare is perhaps the world’s greatest literary figure, famed for his insights into the human condition. Records show that he married Anne Hathaway at the age of 18 and had three children with her. At some point he went to London and joined the theatrical profession, as an actor, playwright, poet and, latterly, theatre manager and impresario. He died in April 1616, aged 52. The body of work left by Shakespeare included 37 plays, four poems and a collection of sonnets.
