Sonnets

Shakespeare wrote sonnets throughout his creative life and considered them his seminal work. Just as we find poetry and lyricism in his plays, there are many dramatic elements in his poetry: precise construction, gradations, contradictions and struggles of thought movements, which culminate in an all-understanding catharsis. This poetic and meditative work celebrating love and women has been translated into English many times.

We offer you a reading of the Sonnets of the unforgettable Milan Friedl, who collected all available translations throughout his life. He has chosen for us a modern translation by Miroslav Macek, which is comprehensible and formally perfect. Macek was the first to solve the pun on the poet's name, Will.
