Description

Five stories of William Shakespeare are written by Ali Asghar Hekmat.

This book was written for forty years, between the years 1915-1953. Finally, in 1953, the complete collection was published. Shakespeare’s Five Tales is a collection of famous Shakespeare plays. Ali Asghar Hekmat has written Shakespeare’s Five Tales by mastering these plays.

These five anecdotes are a summary of the main stories. Ali Asghar Hekmat’s work is not just a summary. He has combined Shakespeare’s anecdotes with the original Persian language. In addition, to better understand the meaning of the story, the reader has given examples of famous Iranian poets such as Hafez, Saadi, Nezami, Jami and Ferdowsi. Mr. Hekmat’s purpose in writing this book was to introduce Shakespeare to Persian speakers as much as possible. Shakespeare’s plays have been translated over and over again.

However, due to the weight of the literature of these works, it is a little difficult for Persian to understand the meanings correctly. For this reason, Ali Asghar Hekmat has used Persian language poets. Shakespeare’s Five Tales includes five plays by a Venetian merchant, Macbeth, King of Scotland, The Grief of Othello or the Maghreb of Venice, Romeo and Juliet, and the Grief of Prince Hamlet of Denmark. Ali Asghar Hekmat wrote the style and tone of the book in the prose of his contemporary Shakespeare in Iran. The prose of Ali Asghar Hekmat’s book is considered ancient prose.

We invite you to one of Shakespeare’s most romantic poems.

  • “I take your heart with me everywhere
  • I take it with me
  • I will never be without you
  • You were with me wherever I went
  • And whatever I did, you did with me
  • My dear! I do not want this world
  • I do not want any fate for myself
  • The sweetest thing for me is your destiny
  • And the beauty of the world for me is you
  • And that’s what the moon has always meant
  • “And the sun always shines on you.”

Shakespeare’s book

One of the anecdotes in this series is Macbeth, King of Scotland. The story of this book is about a brave general named Macbeth. Macbeth is one of King Duncan’s most beloved and courageous generals. Macbeth and another general named Banco return from a battle with the Norwegians. They meet witches on the way. Magicians tell Macbeth that he will become King of Scotland in the future. When Macbeth returns to the court, he is captivated by his wife’s career.

Lady tells him that he killed Duncan and took the throne. Macbeth finally listens to his wife and kills King Duncan. After King Duncan is assassinated, Macbeth ascends the throne. But this is not the end of the story. Macbeth kills Banco’s children so that his position will not be shaken. Because the sorcerers had told him that these children were a threat to his throne.

Banco gives one of his children to the fugitive killers.

But he himself is killed instead of his child. Malcolm is also the son of King Duncan. He also fled the country to save his life. In Scotland, most officials have fled Macbeth to other countries. Only flatterers remain. After Duncan’s death, Lady gradually contracted insanity. He walks into the palace at night and tells the ladies the secret of Duncan’s murder. Finally, the lady kills herself.
Macbeth, whose fear of losing power has affected his whole life, takes refuge in witches again. The sorcerers tell him to stay away from the nameless forest. After a while, Malcolm gathers his army and invades Scotland from the Byrne Forest. Macbeth, who has no companions left except flatterers, is washed away by Malcolm’s army and killed.

After the war, Malcolm gloriously enters the palace and re-takes over Scottish rule. The play Macbeth, King of Scotland, has four main characters, Macbeth, Duncan, Lady and Banco. Each of them has its own unique personality. Macbeth is a brave but unsalted Sardari. Lady has a cruel and black heart. Duncan is a just, popular and kind-hearted king.
