Synopsis "Ende gut, alles gut (in German)"

Shakespeares "dark play" Helena, das Mündel der Gräfin von Roussillon, hat Gefallen am jungen Grafen Bertram gefunden. Der aber hat wenig Gegenliebe für Helena übrig. Au erdem steht ihm der Sinn nach dem Soldatenleben. Sein Plan ist es, an den Hof des französischen Königs zu gelangen und diesem in der Toskana zu dienen. Er reist ab, doch auch Helena will nach Paris. Dort angekommen, verspricht sie dem todkranken König ein Heilmittel und geht mit seiner Majestät eine gefährliche Wette ein: Gelingt die Heilung, so darf sie sich zum Gemahl aussuchen, wen sie möchte. Gelingt sie nicht, kostet es sie den Kopf... Gröls-Klassiker (Edition Werke der Weltliteratur)

William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, c. April 23, 1564jul. - Ibid., April 23/May 3, 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor. Often known as the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard), he is considered the most important writer in the English language and one of the most famous in world literature.

According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, "Shakespeare is generally acknowledged as the greatest of all time writers, a unique figure in the history of literature. The fame of other poets, such as Homer and Dante Alighieri, or novelists such as Leo Tolstoy or Charles Dickens, has transcended national barriers, but none has achieved the reputation of Shakespeare, whose works today are read and performed more frequently and in more countries than ever. The prophecy of one of his great contemporaries, Ben Jonson, has thus been fulfilled: 'Shakespeare does not belong to one age but to eternity'".

Among his most notable works are Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. His ability to portray the complexities of human nature, along with his mastery in the use of verse and language, has made him a timeless figure.
