And what goes on in the hidden recesses of the tyrant''s soul?</b><br><br><b>For help in understanding our most urgent contemporary dilemmas, William Shakespeare has no peer.</b><br><br><b>''Brilliant, timely'' Margaret Atwood, on Twitter</b><br><br><b>''A scintillating book, uncannily illuminating about current politics, as perceptive about the victims of tyranny as it is about the tyrants themselves'' Nicholas Hytner</b></p>
