Sonets

The Sonets of William Shakespeare are the top of the Renaissance love lyrics, representing a unique poetic journal and one of the most intriguing mysteries in world literature. This cycle of 154 poems is not just a collection of elegant poetic forms, but an intense drama-like novel in poems that reveals the whole depth and contradictory of human senses. The poetic world of the cycle revolves around the complex relationships of three main figures: the Poet himself, the beautiful and noble Friend (young), as well as the rock and mysterious Dark Lady (Dark Lady). In the first part of the collection, the author sings the admiration of friendship, beauty and youth, thinking about the immortality that poetry is able to give to man. In the second part to replace the elevated ideal comes the tortuous, destructive and tempting passion for the Mighty Lady, accompanied by jealousy, horrors of betrayal and trouble in the soul. Shakespeare radically transformed the traditional canonic poetry of his time, giving up the frozen stripes in favor of incredible sincerity and psychological realism. "Sonets" is an immortal study of the nature of love, scattering time, loyalty, jealousy and the search for spiritual salvation through creativity. About what the book in three words: Passion, Time, Poetry. Who to read: to the lovers of the genius love lyrics, to the fans of Shakespeare poetry, to the lovers of deep philosophical thinking about life and creativity, as well as to everyone who is looking for inspiration in the classical word.
