With a Foreword by Tim Cook.
Shakespeare's sonnets possess an intensity and emotional charge unprecedented in the English sonnet form. They are divided into two parts: the first 126 sonnets are addressed to a handsome young man, for whom the poet has an obsessive love, while the latter record his love for the controversial "Dark Lady".
In addition to the sonnets, this volume includes Shakespeare's two extensive narrative poems with classical themes, "The Rape of Lucrece", which foreshadows the dark image of Macbeth, and "Venus and Adonis", which combines comedy and tragedy in a unique way. "The Phoenix and the Turtle" is a beautiful metaphysical and allegorical small commemoration, and ranks with Shakespeare's best-known poetry.
