基本説明

New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2011. Of the 160 First Folios known to exist at the start of the twentieth century, fourteen were subsequently stolen and only two were ever recovered. This book offers a riveting account of one man's quest to discover what happened to the missing Folios; a journey around the globe that led to run-ins with Tokyo street gangs, bizarre visits with reclusive billionaires, and intense battles of wills with secretive librarians.

Full Description

In his efforts to catalog all the precious First Folios, renowned Shakespeare scholar Eric Rasmussen embarked on a riveting journey around the globe. Part literary detective story, The Shakespeare Thefts will charm the Bard's many fans.
