Šekspir o ljubavi

The thematic collection Shakespeare on Love (published in 2010 by Dereta) presents a carefully curated selection of the finest verses, quotes, and excerpts from William Shakespeare’s vast body of work. Encompassing passages from his most famous tragedies (Romeo and Juliet, Othello), comedies (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Much Ado About Nothing), and renowned sonnets, this book offers a comprehensive insight into how the greatest playwright of all time perceived and shaped the most powerful human emotion. The collection guides the reader through the entire spectrum of amorous states—from initial enchantment, romantic euphoria, and ideals of beauty to weighty themes such as jealousy, unrequited love, suffering, and the inexorable passage of time. Shakespeare’s poetry and dialogue portray love in all its forms: as a source of indescribable happiness, yet also as a force driving tragic turns of events. Through superb Serbian adaptations and translations (such as those by Sima Pandurović), this book highlights the universality and timeless nature of Shakespeare’s insights, offering readers a rich treasury of verses on passion, devotion, and the nature of the human heart.
