Description

鳥たちが集まり、不死鳥と雉鳩の死を悼む。シェイクスピアは、二羽を一つに結ぶ愛を通じて、個のあり方、美、真実を問いかける。本書には英語の詩の全文と日本語訳を収め、葬儀への呼びかけから、二羽の結びつきをめぐる思索、最後の哀歌と祈りまでをたどる。

Birds gather to mourn the phoenix and the turtledove in William Shakespeare’s poem. Their love joins two distinct beings and unsettles the boundaries of identity, beauty, and truth. This edition brings together the complete English poem and its Japanese translation, from the funeral summons to the closing lament and prayer.
