You used to have everything and now you have nothing. Who's madder than you?
Old King Lear has decided to retire from his royal duties. He calls his three daughters to him, and asks each to tell him how much they love him. The eldest two, Goneril and Regan, flatter him with their words. Cordelia - the youngest and, until now, his favourite - only says that she loves him as a daughter must love her father. Furious, he disinherits her and divides his kingdom between her two sisters. But Goneril and Regan soon turn against Lear, forcing him to wander in the wilderness with only his court jester for company, desperately hoping for a reconciliation with Cordelia...
Dave Eggers says, of the series: "I couldn't be prouder to be a part of it. Ever since Alessandro conceived this idea I thought it was brilliant. The editions that they've complied have been lushly illustrated and elegantly designed."

About the Author:
Melania G. Mazzucco was born in Rome in 1966, and studied Italian literature and cinema. She has written award-winning novels and works for the cinema, theatre and radio, and is a contributor to The New York Times, El País and la Repubblica, among many others.

Translated from the Italian by Virginia Jewiss
Emanuela Orciari was born in Pesaro. She has won awards with big names, like 'Super Libro 2005' and 'Scarpetta d'Oro'. Yet she says that, in King Lear, she has found pretty much the complete story, and a story for everyone.
