Love, the flight of the soul and passion, philosophical reflections and self-examination, vivid images and brilliant metaphors—everything is in Shakespeare’s sonnets.
This edition is a collection of the best translations of the sonnets made by well-known translator-poets: N.V. Gerbel, V.S. Likhachev, M.I. Chaikovsky, K.K. Sluchevsky, B.V. Beer, V.Ya. Bryusov, V.G. Benediktov, F.A. Chervinsky, I.A. Mamunoy.
These translations are close to the original: they convey the musicality and the inimitable character of Shakespeare’s verse.
