This Penguin edition is edited by Eugene Giddens • 'One sin, I know, another doth provoke • Murder's as near to lust as flame to smoke' • Pericles, Prince of Tyre, must solve a riddle in order to marry the daughter of the King of Antioch, or be put to death.

Danger and adventure follow as Pericles flees the city to find his fortune elsewhere, in a romantic drama of families lost and reunited, evil punished and virtue rewarded • This book contains a general introduction to Shakespeare's life and Elizabethan theatre, a separate introduction to Pericles, a chronology, suggestions for further reading, an essay discussing performance options on both stage and screen, and a commentary

"Отелло", напряжённая драма о люви, обмане, ревности и сломанных судьбах, давно считается одной из самых впечатляющих трагедий Шекспира. Любви венецианки Дездемоны к мавру Отелло не помеха различия между ними, но козни завистливого Яго - совсем другое дело. Это произведение, освещающее проблемы ксенофобии, места женщины в далёком прошлом, способности наших идентичностей раздирать душу на части и прячущихся под маской цивилизации зверств, вполне возможно, является одной из самых актуальных и доступных современному читателю работ Шекспира как драматурга. И как новые постановки "Отелло", так и экранизации великой трагедии помогают ей не растерять влияние на воображение публики • Составители настоящего издания, стремясь отразить значимость материала, не упускают из вида выводы, к которым приходят соврменные исследователи творчества Шекспира

Suddenly, he's being unfairly blamed for all kinds of irregularities. Next, his life is threatened. And, lastly, he's coming to realise that the life he has led till now - the one someone wants to rub out - is one big fat lie

A man, dispirited by ageing, endeavours to steal a younger man’s face; a doctor yearns for a virus that might eliminate his discomfort by turning everyone else into doubles of himself; a Colonel lays out the precepts of the life of DE (Do Easy); conspirators posthumously succeed in blowing up a train full of nerve gas; a mandrill known as the Purple Better One runs for the presidency with brutal results; and the world drifts towards apocalypses of violence, climate and plague. The hallucinatory landscape of William Burroughs’ compellingly bizarre, fragmented novel is constantly shifting, something sinister always just beneath the surface

Idoru - a gripping techno-thriller by William Gibson, bestselling author of Neuromancer • Tokyo, post-event • After an attack of scruples, Colin Laney's skipped out on his former employer Slitscan - avoiding the rash of media lawyers sent his way - and taken a job for the outfit managing Japanese rock duo, Lo/Rez. Rez has announced he's going to marry an 'idoru' by the name of Rei Toi - she exists only in virtual reality - and this creates complications that Laney, a net runner, is supposed to sort out. But when Chai, part of Lo/Rez's fan club, turns up unaware that she's carrying illegal nanoware for the Russian Kombinat, Laney's scruples nudge him towards trouble all over again.
