Sinossi
Il re di Sicilia Leonte ha sposato Ermione, ma crede che il figlio nascituro sia del re di Boemia Polissene. Leonte ordina al cortigiano Camillo di avvelenarlo, ma questi non gli obbedisce e fugge con Polissene. Leonte istruisce un processo per adulterio contro Ermione e fa interpellare l'oracolo di Delfi. Leonte ordina anche che la bambina, nata nel frattempo, venga abbandonata su una spiaggia deserta. La morte di Ermione giunge prima che l'oracolo sveli la sua innocenza, mentre Perdita, la bambina, viene salvata e, cresciuta, ama il figlio di Polissene con cui fugge in Sicilia. Afflitto dal senso di colpa per la morte della moglie, Leonte riconosce la figlia e riceve in dono una statua, che non solo somiglia ad Ermione, ma è Ermione stessa.

A winter of the heart descends upon a weak-minded king, setting in motion a sequence of potentially tragic events that unfold against a fantastical background.

This is a story of male friendship. We have the king of Sicily, Leontes, and the king of Bohemia, Polixenes indulging their fondness for each other. From the very outset, we see how these two friends socialize and enjoy the pleasures of being together. Even if they both have wives in tow (however, P Leggi tutto
"Exit, pursued by a bear" is the most famous stage direction in literature. It comes here in Winter's Tale, at the end of Act III, and it's famous because it's funny. And the really funny thing is it's been a hella dark play until this moment. What happened is King Leontes has become suddenly and ir Leggi tutto
The BBC does an amazing job with this audiobook. As for the story, I really wish the king had gotten far more of comeuppance for his bad behavior.
