Pericles, Prince of Tyre

"Pericles, Prince of Tyre" is a play attributed to William Shakespeare, although it is believed to have been a collaboration between Shakespeare and another playwright, possibly George Wilkins. It is one of Shakespeare's lesser-known works and is classified as one of his "romances."
The play follows the adventures and misfortunes of Pericles, a prince who embarks on a journey that takes him to various lands and situations, including a shipwreck, love, loss, and miraculous reunions. "Pericles" explores themes of fate, redemption, and the enduring power of love and family bonds.
While "Pericles, Prince of Tyre" may not be as famous as some of Shakespeare's other works, it is still considered a significant part of his literary legacy. It is known for its adventurous plot and its exploration of human experiences, including the challenges and joys of life's journey.

William Shakespeare (bapt. 26 April 1564 - 23 April 1616) was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
