Sinopse

A precious collection for the library of any audience, especially young readers. The collection "The Most Current in Classical Theater" features adaptations of fundamental plays, moments in the greatness of theater 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. In Prometheus, the title character receives punishment from Zeus for revealing to humanity how to produce fire. The god's rebellion stemmed from his unwillingness to leave humanity immersed in obscurity and ignorance. In "Alcestis," one of the most moving plays in Greek drama, the character is the young wife of King Admetus. When she offers to die in her beloved's place, she is led to the Kingdom of the Dead. Consumed by grief and regret, the king enlists the help of Heracles to defy the Greeks' greatest horror: death.
