Cast onto the waters by his power-hungry brother Antonio, Prospero, the
Duke of Milan, has been living on a distant island for a dozen years
along with his daughter Miranda. In his years of banishment, Prospero
has developed strong magical powers -- powers that not only allow him to
deduce that Antonio is on a nearby ship, but to cause the ship to run
aground. At long last, Prospero has a chance to get revenge on those who
have wronged him. But, will he also ruin Miranda's chance for happiness?
The Tempest is considered by many critics to be Shakespeare's crowning
glory. This full-color graphic novel presents the sparkling romantic
comedy just as Shakespeare intended: in its original and unabridged
format, and in its original setting. As with the other titles in this
well-received series, it encourages readers to discover classical
literature while staying true to Shakespeare's vision. Also available
are the Original Text version, with the Bard's unabridged work, and a
Quick Text version, with less dialogue for a fast-paced read.
