The Tempest by William Shakespeare

The Tempest by William Shakespeare

Shakespeare's valedictory play is also one of his most poetical and magical. This story involves the spirit Ariel, the savage Caliban and Prospero, the banished Duke of Milan, now a wizard living on a remote island who uses his magic to shipwreck a party of ex-compatriots.
