Macbeth

This handsome hardback edition presents William Shakespeare's classic tragedy, Macbeth, featuring gold cover embossing and gilded page-edges. Often referred to superstitiously as 'the Scottish play', Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's most celebrated and accessible works. Macbeth is a general in the army of the Scottish king, who one day meets three witches who prophesy that he will one day take his master's place. Spurred on by his wife, Lady Macbeth, he pursues this ambition at great cost. A tumultuous tale of how ambition, guilt and paranoia lead to deceit and murder, it is one of the greatest studies of morality and corruption. This beautiful pocket-sized gift edition contains the classic, unabridged text, presented with a gold embossed cover design, ivory pages, beautifully designed endpapers and gold gilded page edges. With an introduction and notes by Chris McNab, it makes a wonderful book for study or pleasure.
