As You Like It - Classics by William Shakespeare [Paperback]

Banished by Duke Frederick, who has usurped her father’s throne, the clever and spirited Rosalind disguises herself as a shepherd and flees to the Forest of Arden. There, she reunites with her father, accompanied by her cousin Celia and the jester Touchstone. Meanwhile, the noble and modest Orlando, driven away by his envious older brother, also seeks refuge in the forest with his loyal servant Adam. What happens when Orlando, deeply in love with Rosalind, unknowingly encounters her in disguise? William Shakespeare’s As You Like It is a charming pastoral comedy that explores different facets of love in all its richness. Brimming with magic, energy, tranquility, joy, and humor, this play of disguise, gender roles, exile, and subtle homoerotic undertones remains a timeless favorite.
