Classic Books Library presents this new beautiful edition of William
Shakespeare's tragedy "Troilus and Cressida". Featuring a specially
commissioned new biography of William Shakespeare, it is a must for
Shakespeare enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Set during the Trojan War,
Shakespeare's tragedy tells the story of Troilus, a Trojan prince, and
Cressida, the daughter of a Trojan priest, whose romance is compromised
when Cressida is exchanged as a prisoner of war and succumbs to her
captor, the Greek commander, Diomedes. The play features dual plots;
intertwining romance and deceit with the adjoining battle of two warring
oppositions, and the play notably culminates in an uncertain end.
William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and
actor. He is considered to be the greatest writer in the English
language and is celebrated as the world's most famous dramatist.
