Macbeth

Jo Nesbø

Morten W. Krogstad

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) regnes som Vestens fremste dramatiker, med en uovertruffen beherskelse over det engelske språket. Blant hans 37 skuespill er tragediene "Hamlet" (ca. 1601) og "Macbeth" (1606) de mest kjente.

Macbeth er høvding over en skotsk klan, og han blir spådd av tre hekser at han skal bli konge. Veien dit går gjennom mord, og hustruen, Lady Macbeth, nører opp under ambisjonene. Macbeth blir konge til slutt, men det kan bare gå én vei: mot krig. Boken er gjendiktet av Morten Krogstad.

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.

«Brenn ut, du korte lys! Ein skugge er vårt liv, ein ussel gjøglar, som spradar, ynkar seg, ei stund på scenen, og ikkje høyrest meir. Det er ei segn, fortalt av dåren, full av larm og vreide, men utan meining.»

Da Macbeth blir spådd av tre hekser at han skal bli konge av Skottland, eggar Lady Macbeth han til å rydde av vegen alle som kan hindre han. Og Macbeth blir konge, men berre for å finne at angst og svart fortviling ventar han; Macbeth og kona hans går under i det kaoset dei sjølv har skapt med sine ugjerningar.

För att uppfylla tre häxors spådom och pådriven av sin äregiriga hustru mördar Macbeth den skotske kungen Duncan. Därmed blir han själv kung, men dådet blir bara det första i en kedja av brott. Drivna av ondska och skuld går makarna mot ett fasansfullt slut. Lady Macbeth dör vansinnig och Macbeth själv möter döden på slagfältet på det sätt som häxorna i dunkla ordalag förutspått, när själva skogen satt sig i rörelse mot hans slott.     Den feberheta skildringen av den kamp mellan ont och gott som finns inom oss alla har gjort Macbeth till en av Shakespeares mest berömda tragedier. Göran O Erikssons översättning, som här ges ut för första gången, ger Shakespeares text ett tilltal för vår tid, spelbart och med en oöverträffad dramatisk skärpa.

He's the best cop they've got. When a drug bust turns into a bloodbath it's up to Inspector Macbeth and his team to clean up the mess. He's also an ex-drug addict with a troubled past. He's rewarded for his success. Power. Money. Respect. They're all within reach. But a man like him won't get to the top. Plagued by hallucinations and paranoia, Macbeth starts to unravel. He's convinced he won't get what is rightfully his. Unless he kills for it.

What he hears will change everything. Egged on by his wife, he decides to kill in order to gain the Scottish crown. How many people will have to die in Macbeth's pursuit of power? With armies, ghosts and magic against him, will Macbeth survive in this tale of greed and betrayal? Getting the crown is one thing - keeping it is quite another.

In this classic tale by William Shakespeare, a brave Scottish general named Macbeth receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, Macbeth murders King Duncan and takes the Scottish throne for himself. He is then wracked with guilt and paranoia.

When three sinister witches tell Macbeth that power and glory could be within his grasp, he murders the king in a bid to ensure his future. But he soon sees the error of his ways, for if you kill once, you will kill again - and the dead will return to haunt you for your sins.

One of Shakespeare's most popular plays, filled with fierce, violent action,  Macbeth  is a human drama of ambition, desire, and guilt in a world of blood and darkness, with whispers of the supernatural.  Under the editorial supervision of Jonathan Bate and Eric Rasmussen, two of today's most accomplished Shakespearean scholars, this Modern Library series incorporates definitive texts and authoritative notes from  William Shakespeare: Complete Works . Each play includes an Introduction as well as an overview of Shakespeare's theatrical career; commentary on past and current productions based on interviews with leading directors, actors, and designers; scene-by-scene analysis; key facts about the work; a chronology of Shakespeare's life and times; and black-and-white illustrations.  Ideal for students, theater professionals, and general readers, these modern and accessible editions from the Royal Shakespeare Company set a new standard in Shakespearean literature for the twenty-first century.

This is a detailed account of the theatre history of Shakespeare's Macbeth from 1607 to the present day. The shortest of the tragedies, Macbeth is compressed, complex and ambiguous and has been variously interpreted. The Introduction describes major productions and performers including David Garrick, Sarah Siddons, Henry Irving, Ellen Terry and Laurence Olivier. Sarah Siddons, the greatest Lady Macbeth, portrayed her as a ruthlessly ambitious woman who dominated her husband. Irving, on the other hand, saw Macbeth as 'a bloody-minded villain', unlike his wife, played by Ellen Terry, who was gentle and devoted. Ian McKellen and Judi Dench, in the most successful production of the last century, were united in their ambition and pursuit of evil. A detailed commentary alongside the New Cambridge Shakespeare text of the play describes how specific episodes and passages have been interpreted in the theatre.
