But Shakespeare's plays, argues author Martin Lings, concern far more than the workings of the human psyche; they are sacred, visionary works that, through the use of esoteric symbol and form, mirror the inner drama of the journey of all souls. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eShakespeare's Window into the Soul\u003c\/i\u003e, Martin Lings provides an in-depth study of Shakespeare's later, more mature plays, such as \u003ci\u003eHamlet, Macbeth, King Lear\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/i\u003e. By revealing the mystical meaning of these works, Lings not only conveys the dramatic artistry of these masterpieces, but also leaves readers with a deep and lasting impression of the playwright himself and his keen understanding of the passage the soul must make to reach its final sacred union with the divine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Inner Traditions International\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/27\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781594771200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.84h x 6.72w x 0.58d","brand":"Martin Lings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43067702640821,"sku":"9781594771200","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_8cfddf70-8dca-4917-8a6f-8b2b8e3c2e88.jpg?v=1690863477","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/shakespeares-window-into-the-soul-the-mystical-wisdom-in-shakespeares-characters-9781594771200","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
