Often referred to as 'the Scottish play' due to superstition, Macbeth is one of Shakespeare?s most cherished works. Macbeth, a general in the Scottish army, encounters three witches who predict he will one day rule as king. As their prophecies come true, the temptation to murder his king grows, and one act of murder spirals into a cycle of more bloodshed. This pocket-sized gift edition includes the unabridged text, with a gold-embossed cover, ivory pages, endpapers, and gilded edges. A wonderful gift for any classic literature enthusiast, part of the Arcturus Ornate Classics series.
