King of Lyria

William Shakespeare's "King Lear" is one of the greatest, stunning and uncompromising tragedies in world literature. This is a monumental plot about the destruction of family and state, about the vision through suffering and about the terrible price that must be paid for pride, stupidity and blindness. The story begins with the remarkable decision of the elderly British king Lear to divide his kingdom between three daughters. Wishing to hear the luxurious confessions of love, he is subjected to the hypocrisy of the older daughters—Goneriella and Regana, and the younger, Cordelia, honestly and without a prison of loving father, deprives her her legacy and expels her. After receiving power, the older daughters quickly throw the masks and throw the unhelp old man out. Having come into a floating steep storm without blood and switches, Lyr, scared of the brutal world, gradually loses reason, but it is in madness that the long-awaited spiritual vision comes to him. Parallelly, the mirror tragedy of Count Gloster, also deceived by his side son Edmund and the betrayal faithful Edgar, develops. Shakespeare with unhuman strength explores the themes of betrayal, blind parental love, fraud and mercy. "King Lyr" is the deepest drama about how the usual world breaks down when power becomes above humanity, and about the fact that real glory sometimes comes to man only when he loses everything. Who to read: Fans of the greatest world classics, lovers of powerful psychological and philosophical dramas, as well as everyone who is attracted by profound works about the nature of human errors, family tragedies and the search for the truth.
