The series was originally envisioned as a 42 illustration set, and this book makes it a reality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Laudea Martin is a long-time student of Shakespeare, as well as both art and wildlife. Her delightful illustrations are created digitally with layers of texture, capturing the essence of various animals mentioned by William Shakespeare. The quotations included in this book are not Shakespeare's most famous quotations; they are instead those that evoke vivid imagery of animals, wild and domestic, that were in the common purview during Shakespeare's time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is not a story, or even a poem; this book is meant to be enjoyed one page at a time. It takes a bit of time for the nuance of William Shakespeare's words to sink in, to really comprehend the meaning of each phrase. Though each source work is cited on the facing page, with act and scene numbers, and which character is speaking to whom, feel free to ignore the original context of the quotation, and experience it simply in the context of Martin's art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This volume, \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eShakespeare's Complete Paragon\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, includes all of the illustrations found in the \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eShakespeare's Paragon\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e series. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Other books in the series: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eShakespeare's Zoo\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e includes: falcon, eel, baboon, robin, bee, lizard, cricket, dove, camel, bat, crocodile, owl, fish, calf, parrot, crab, urchin, unicorn, spider, cat, and fox. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eShakespeare's Menagerie\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e includes: raven, butterfly, horse, frog, mole, fly, ape, swan, barnacle, snail, tiger, mouse, beetle, wren, sheep, whale, adder, eagle, elephant, chameleon, and stag.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laudea Martin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Idle Winter Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 8.50w x 0.25d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615753751\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA very old (c. 1896) and well-loved boxed set of the complete works of William Shakespeare, which once belonged to Laudea's great grandmother, graces her overstuffed bookshelves. It was Laudea's determination to read all of them one summer that sparked her interest in the richness of Shakespeare's written words. Laudea (pronounced: LAH-dee-ah) has also long been a fan of all kinds of animals, and could spend hours simply watching them be. Each new line discovered while creating her illustrations deepens Laudea's understanding of the myriad ways in which animals move and live. Laudea loves experimenting with new art techniques, and her favorite pieces of art are those that make you want to reach out and touch them. Though Laudea occupies most of her time creating art, thinking about art, or reading, she also takes some time to teach local students about both art and animals (often at the same time). Laudea lives in Portland, Oregon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Idle Winter Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40073469034611,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_2224d64f-fada-41f9-a976-6131ff279cc2.jpg?v=1652019004","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/shakespeares-complete-paragon-9780615753751","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
