Beschrijving
Set against the backdrop of a enchanted Forest of Arden, this retelling of a beloved Shakespearean classic brings the charm and wit of the original play to a new generation of readers. Andrew Matthews captures the essence of Shakespeare's exploration of love, identity, and the complexities of human relationships through a more accessible narrative. The vibrant characters, ranging from the clever Rosalind to the melancholic Jacques, navigate their intertwined lives with humor and poignancy, discovering that life and love often thrive in unexpected places.
As Rosalind disguises herself as a young man to explore her love for Orlando, the story delves far beyond mere romantic entanglements. It invites readers to reflect on the nature of happiness and the truth found in authenticity versus pretense. Matthews’ retelling maintains the play’s spirit while ensuring that the language and themes resonate with modern audiences, allowing Shakespeare’s timeless wisdom to shine through.
This adaptation embraces the play's core themes of freedom versus constraint, the joys and sorrows of love, and the exploration of self within the societal norms. With delightful illustrations and a narrative style that is both engaging and playful, this version serves as a perfect entry point for those new to Shakespeare’s works, as well as a cherished companion for longtime fans.
