Julius Caesar

By William Shakespeare
Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

After defeating enemies in battle, Roman citizens celebrate in the streets as Julius Caesar and his entourage make their way through the city. As Caesar passes a soothsayer, he receives an ominous warning: “Beware the ides of March,” which he immediately disregards. Meanwhile, some of his closest followers are convinced their leader has become too powerful and plot his removal. Plutarch’s Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans was Shakespeare’s primary source for Julius Caesar.

This Standard Ebooks production is based on William George Clark and William Aldis Wright’s 1887 Victoria edition, which is taken from the Globe edition.

Julius Caesar Reviews

3.5
“I have so many things to say and ask. Like why Portia too? Also where is Caesar’s wife? Not gonna lie, I was pro No King movement here and felt that we should also « Et tu, Brute! ». But then of course if we do, we won’t be heroes, not even to ourselves. I came for the « There is a tide in the the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads onto fortune ; » quote and then loved the rest of the quote too. But I stayed for « By the Gods, you shall digest the venom of your spleen ». And Brutus basically being ok to murder but drawing the line at corruption. Cassius was sus but at least not delusional that Marcus Antonius would ever ever eveeeeeeeer not want to avenge Julius. Delulu that Brutus.”

About William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare (bapt. 26 April 1564 – 23 April 1616) was an English playwright, poet and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "the Bard"). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. His works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
