About this audiobook
William Shakespeare is the celebrated script writer of the most popular plays in the English language. By writing both tragedies, romances, and comedies in the 16th century, he made a name for himself and became successful in the art of drama.
Shakespeare’s life and decisions led to his acclaim, and in this book, we will lay out some of the most significant changes in both his personal choices and his career. Despite of his financial debts, his complex family life, and his background, he was able to entertain his audiences both in his time and for centuries after his death.
I encourage you to use this brief study to become more aware and understanding of the historical challenges and successes in his time, and the value and symbolism in his plays.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This audio book needs to be granted an award. That's how good it is. This is a good book. Despite of the writer's understanding about the concept, the narrator was still the element I was most satisfied with. This is what actually sold me on the writer's book.
