Hercules

A precious collection for any audience's library, especially young readers. The collection "The Most Current in Classical Theater" features adaptations of fundamental plays, moments of theater's greatness as an expression of the human spirit. Great titles, great authors, in editions that, while maintaining the original structure and dramatic flow, strive for greater colloquiality and contemporary relevance. The plays are accompanied by introductory commentaries on the social, cultural, and aesthetic contexts, as well as explanatory notes and suggested topics for discussion and further study. Furthermore, the volumes are illustrated by renowned Brazilian artists such as Rui de Oliveira, Marcelo Pimentel, William Côgo, and Luciano Feijão. The theme of this volume is Heroism, and therefore, its protagonist could be none other than the greatest of all heroes of antiquity. "Hercules" is composed of three plays: Amphitryon by Plautus, Herakles by Euripides, and Trachianas by Sophocles.
