Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A sweeping tale of deception, loyalty, and reconciliation, Cymbeline, King of Britain showcases Shakespeare's masterful blending of tragedy, comedy, and romance. Set against the backdrop of ancient Britain under Roman rule, the play follows the trials of Princess Imogen, whose steadfast virtue is tested by betrayal, banishment, and mistaken identity. Drawing loosely from historical accounts of King Cunobelinus and enriched by elements from Boccaccio's Decameron, Shakespeare weaves a richly layered narrative of familial strife, political intrigue, and personal redemption. As a product of Shakespeare's later period, the play explores enduring themes of innocence wronged, the fallibility of perception, and the redemptive power of forgiveness. Cymbeline stands as a compelling exploration of human resilience and the complex interplay between fate and free will.
