  • abbandonato non perche' non sia un ottimo libro, ma perche' come introduzione a Shakespeare e' un po' troppo universitaria, e oltretutto in inglese, cosicche' innanzitutto richiederebbe gia' una certa conoscenza delle opere del bardo ( cosa che io non ho) e poi risuta un po' di difficile lettura.
