Romeo and Juliet

"But the tale of Romeo and Juliet will remain the saddest in the world..." The saddest and perhaps the most famous love story in literature. Written in the late 16th century, Shakespeare's tragedy still graces the theatrical stage, and in the 20th century, it was adapted for film dozens of times. Its foundation lies in an ancient legend about the tragic fate of a young man and woman from feuding families. Under the pen of the great playwright, this "wandering" plot achieved greatness and immortality, becoming a hymn to the freedom of the human personality, breaking away from the stagnant medieval laws, a hymn to radiant, true love. In this edition, the tragedy "Romeo and Juliet" is presented in the classical translation by Boris Pasternak.
