About this book
Η τρικυμία by William Shakespeare conjures a storm of magic, power, and redemption on a lonely island, offering a lyrical entry to one of the Bard’s most enchanting plays. This Greek-language translation—rendered in the spirit of Iakovos Polylas and updated to a monotonic orthography while preserving the original phrasing—brings The Tempest’s mix of comedy and profound human drama to life for modern listeners.
Set after a dramatic shipwreck, the play follows the exiled sorcerer Prospero and his daughter Miranda as they shape fate through enchantment, aided by the airy spirit Ariel and challenged by the island-born Caliban. Themes of authority, forgiveness, colonial encounter, love, and theatrical illusion interweave with Shakespeare’s sparkling language and stagecraft. The edition reflects early-20th-century translation sensibilities and remains faithful to the translator’s voice, offering historical interest as well as literary pleasure.
Ideal for lovers of classic literature, theatre students, and anyone eager to explore Shakespeare’s comedy and moral complexity in Greek, this audiobook delivers rich characters, memorable poetry, and a timeless meditation on power and mercy—perfect for commutes, study, or a deep listen at home.
