Penguin Classics: Shakespeares Sonnets - William Shakespeare

"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"
William Shakespeare’s 154 sonnets represent some of the most profound and beautifully crafted poetry in the English language. Exploring eternal themes such as love, infidelity, memory, mortality, and the relentless passage of time, these poems continue to captivate readers with their emotional depth and lyrical beauty.

Themes That Transcend Time
Love and Desire: Shakespeare delves into the complexity of relationships, capturing both the passion and the pain of love.
Time and Mortality: The sonnets confront the fleeting nature of beauty and life, offering meditations on eternity through art.
Betrayal and Jealousy: Infidelity and human frailty emerge as recurring motifs, lending an air of vulnerability to these works.
Why This Edition Stands Out
This pocket-sized edition gathers all 154 sonnets, making it a perfect companion for quiet reflection or a meaningful gift for any lover of literature. Its compact format and elegant design ensure it will be cherished for years to come.
