От автора на "Дао-то на Пух" ... Какво е Дъ? Какво е даоизъм? Какво общо има Прасчо и с двете? Дъ е китайската дума за Добродетел. Даоизмът е китайска философия. (Но той е повече от "китайски" и повече от "философия". Ние ще навлезем във въпросите Защо? и Как? по-нататьк в тази книга.) А Прасчо има доста общо и с двете. Какво точно? На първо място... Това, че той... Имаме предвид, че... Може би по-добре е да оставим автора да обясни.

Described as a comedy in the First Folio, Shakespeare's explorations of prejudice, duty and the nature of justice make for a far darker play. This Macmillan Collector's Library edition is illustrated throughout by Sir John Gilbert (1817 - 1897), and includes an introduction by Ned Halley. Designed ... |
