“A beastly ambition, which the gods grant thee t' attain to! If thou wert the lion, the fox would beguile thee; if thou wert the lamb, the fox would eat three if thou wert the fox, the lion would suspect thee, when peradventure thou wert accused by the ass if thou wert the ass, thy dulness would torment thee, and still thou livedst but as a breakfast to the wolf if thou wert the wolf, thy greediness would afflict thee, and oft thou shouldst hazard thy life for thy dinner wert thou the unicorn, pride and wrath would confound thee and make thine own self the conquest of thy fury wert thou a bear, thou wouldst be killed by the horse wert thou a horse, thou wouldst be seized by the leopard wert thou a leopard, thou wert german to the lion and the spots of thy kindred were jurors on thy life all thy safety were remotion and thy defence absence. What beast couldst thou be, that were not subject to a beast? and what a beast art thou already, that seest not thy loss in transformation!” ― William Shakespeare, Timon of Athens

I recently read through the complete works of Shakespeare and Timon of Athens was my surprise favorite. I figured it would be one of the less rewarding plays since I rarely hear it referenced, but it turned out to be a delightful premise full of the best Shakespearean insults in the canon. It's a short play and some argue that the ending is left unfinished, but I'm obsessed with it. The Arkangel dramatization no doubt contributing to my positive impression. The entire cast is extremely talented, nailing the timing and executing spot-on delivery. I highly recommend reading this play along with this audio version.Product details

Timon Of Athens Illustrated The Tragedies 9781520477817 William Shakespeare Books Reviews
Used book. Pages just a bit darker than new. Clean book, no markings whatever. Very good item for the price.
Apparently a direct transcription of the physical book's text, the edition of this play is very poorly formatted. Line-breaks are muddled and the editorial notes get mixed up in the play-text proper. Very disappointed that Pelican would do this -- I imagine they simply wanted an easy way onto the ebook market and didn't think about the mechanics of what they were doing at all. If you need electronic Shakespeare, get it somewhere else.
The play is fine, but this edition is horrible. The blank-verse lines are rendered as run-on sentences with no breaks between them. There is no differentiation in the font or typeface between the name of the character speaking and what they are saying so it's very confusing. It contains many, many errors.. After wasting $.99 on the edition, I found far superior free versions on-line, so save your money or buy a hard copy.
Not the play . . . my issue is with the edition. For that price, I assumed, hoped, that I was getting a used standard size issue, not this pocket edition with small text. There was nothing in the ad to indicate edition size, and if you're reading on stage, this is too small. Disappointed!
Almost unreadable in . Formatting is terrible. Not even worth 99 cents
I am a huge Shakespeare fan, but I admit Timon of Athens is not his most entertaining read. The story follows the tragic downfall of the wealthy, powerful, generous Timon, as his financial collapse drives him to madness. The story is very depressing, but it is very insightful with powerful character development.
Seriously? It's Shakespeare, and Arden. Best combination, despite the fact that this is NOT one of Shakespeare's best. However, it is one of the plays most relevant for contemporary audiences, especially given the economic climate of today. The play, probably written by Shakespeare in collaboration with another playwright (probably Middleton) is choppy and somewhat confusing in parts. It's believed that there are sections missing, and that makes sense when you read the overall play. Read the play for the individual scenes, and the sometimes unintentional humor. It's worth the time, and thought, that Shakespeare requires.
