Shakespeares sonnetten
In een fonkelende nieuwe vertaling laat Bas Belleman zien waarom William Shakespeare de grootste dichter aller tijden is. Deze 154 sonnetten zijn nooit meer overtroffen: ze zijn vulgair en diepzinnig, duister en kraakhelder, vol van liefde en seks, kolkend van wanhoop en waanzin. Ze lezen als bekentenissen, maar ook als radicale experimenten. De vertalingen vloeien: ze zijn letterlijk waar het kan en vrij waar het moet. De uitgebreide aantekeningen onthullen in ieder sonnet subtiliteiten en dubbelzinnigheden: de vruchten van tien jaar lezen en vertalen. Deze editie bevat ook het verhalende gedicht ‘A lover’s Complaint’, dat in eerdere vertalingen vrijwel nooit werd opgenomen. Het is een prachtig gedicht over een vrouw die werd verleid en haar hart voelde breken.

Dark Renaissance
Poor boy. Dark star. Spy. Transgressor. Genius. This is the thrilling and subversive life story of Christopher Marlowe - Shakespeare's inspiration and rival, who helped to bring England out of the cultural darkness and into the light.'Sparkling, addictive reading' MAGGIE O'FARRELL'A dazzling account of a dazzling life' STEPHEN FRY'As evocative as any novel' PHILIPPA GREGORY'Riveting' BEN ELTON**AN ECONOMIST BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025**In brutally repressive Elizabethan England, artists are frightened; foreigners are suspect; popular entertainment largely consists of coarse spectacles, animal fights, and hangings. Into this crude world comes an ambitious cobbler's son from Canterbury with an uncanny ear for Latin poetry - which to him is a secret portal to beauty, visionary imagination, transgressive desire, and dangerous scepticism.What Christopher Marlowe finds on the other side of that door, and what he does with it, brings about a spectacular explosion of English literature, language, and culture, enabling the success of many others, including his contemporary and collaborator William Shakespeare. By the time of his murder in a Deptford tavern in 1593, the 29-year-old Marlowe will be the most celebrated dramatist of his time.Stephen Greenblatt grippingly reconstructs the involvement with the queen's spy service that shaped Marlowe's brief, troubling life and helped fashion his masterpieces. Along the way we discover how the people Marlowe knew, and the transformations they wrought, gave birth to the economic, scientific, and cultural power of the modern world - involving Faustian bargains with which we reckon still.Dark Renaissance is a scintillating life of a writer whose blazing talent catapulted England from cultural backwater to crucible of creativity.'An unforgettable literary biographical tour de force' INDEPENDENT

Making It So
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER ‘He writes as well as he acts, with insight, truth and passion’ – Sir Ian McKellen ‘Highly entertaining... You don’t need to be a fan of Stewart the man of stage and screen to be as beguiled by the decades of professional acting that follow’ – The TimesThe long-awaited memoir from iconic, beloved actor and living legend Sir Patrick Stewart. From his acclaimed stage triumphs to his legendary onscreen work, Sir Patrick Stewart has captivated audiences around the world and across multiple generations in a career spanning six decades with his indelible command of stage and screen. No other British working actor enjoys such career variety, universal respect and unending popularity, as witnessed through his seminal roles – whether as Captain Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek fame, Professor Charles Xavier of Marvel's X-Men hit film franchise, his more than forty years as part of the Royal Shakespeare Company and in such critically lauded roles for Hamlet and The Tempest on the West End and Broadway, his unforgettable one-man show adapted from Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, or his comedic work in American Dad!, Ted, Extras and Blunt Talk, among many others. Now, he presents his long-awaited memoir, Making It So, a revealing portrait of a driven artist whose astonishing life – from his humble and hardscrabble beginnings in Yorkshire, to the dizzying heights of Hollywood and worldwide acclaim – proves a story as exuberant, definitive and enduring as the author himself.

Macbeth
Macbeth, Shakespeares kortste en bloedigste tragedie, dateert van 1606, kort na de mislukte aanslag op James I, als opvolger van Elizabeth de nieuwe koning van Engeland, die als James VI al koning van Schotland was. Zou de aanslag op koning en parlement (het zogeheten ‘Buskruitverraad’ of Gunpowder Plot, van 5 november 1605) zijn geslaagd, dan was het land in een chaos gestort. Engeland reageerde met een golf van sympathie voor de nieuwe koning. Daar kwam bij dat koning James de vergoeding voor toneelvoorstellingen aan het hof had verdubbeld tot twintig pond, een bedrag waar men een mooi huis voor kon kopen, en dat hij Shakespeare en zijn medespelers had verblijd met de titel ‘kamerheer’. Goede redenen om de vorst te eren met een stuk dat in Schotland speelde (in Engeland wordt Macbeth vaak aangeduid als the Scottish play). Verstegen vertaalde van Shakespeare ook Shakespeare’s sonnets, Hamlet, King Lear, Antony and Cleopatra en Othello, en zijn twee lange, verhalende gedichten Venus and Adonis en The Rape of Lucrece.
