Ben Crystal

Eine super Einführung in Shakespeare - hier versteht man auch endlich, was Metrum, Jambus und Pentameter sind! Mit super Hinweisen, wie man selbst Szenen aus Shakespeare auseinandernehmen kann.

leicht verständlich und mit einem augenzwinkern werden hier grundlagen der shakespeare stücke erläutert. plötzlich ergibt das, was man vor jahren gelesen hat, einen ganz neuen, faszinierenden sinn. da will man sich gleich noch einmal macbeth vornehmen!

It's a real treat to read!
Entertainingly and witty written, and full of useful information.
Ben Crystal really knows how to get his point across. Within a few pages he's getting you completely hooked on what Shakespeare and his work, his plays, are about. After that putting the book away is a though call, I had to read on.
Crystal explains perfectly how different the time Shakespeare lived in was opposed to ours and why that makes a big difference in how we perceive the plays today.
"Shakespeare on Toast" gives you a splendid instruction in understanding the bard, his work and his time better.
And overall you really start to like and enjoy it!
