A gift book in a leather cover "Sonnets" by W. Shakespeare, in a case

Shakespeare's sonnets are the highest standard of "high poetry". Literary historians have been arguing about them for several centuries, trying to solve the mystery of the mysterious "dark lady" and the young friend of the great poet to whom they are dedicated. Many books, scientific and artistic, have been written about the possible history of the creation of sonnets, and several films have been shot. But ordinary readers simply enjoy the beauty of Shakespeare's language and the passion of his inspiration, which turned this collection of sonnets into the most ingenious poetic cycle in the history of world literature.
