Sobre o livro

Old King Lear decides to divide his kingdom among his three daughters according to how much each says she loves him. Goneril and Regan flatter him and receive everything; Cordelia, who loves him most, will not perform her love and is banished. Stripped of his power by the two elder daughters, Lear rages on a heath in a storm with his Fool and descends into madness, while in a parallel story the Earl of Gloucester is betrayed by one son and blinded, and saved by the other.

Contexto e importância

Shakespeare wrote King Lear around 1606, and it is often counted the greatest and the most painful of his tragedies. This is a dramatic reading by a cast of LibriVox volunteers, each taking a part, in about three and a half hours.
