About this book

A storm at sea brings sailors and royal passengers into a struggle where rank counts for little against wind and water. On an island, Miranda watches the wreck in distress, while her father Prospero assures her that his magic has kept everyone safe. His account of their past introduces Milan, a trusted brother's betrayal, and the political bargain that cost him his dukedom.

William Shakespeare's play moves between urgent commands aboard ship, Prospero's careful storytelling, and the tender conversation of Miranda and Ferdinand. In the island scene, Ferdinand piles logs under orders, but his affection for Miranda makes the work bearable. She offers to share his burden as Prospero watches unseen. The dialogue gives readers a way to consider how authority works within a family and a state, while the contrast between dangerous weather and new affection supplies the drama's changing pace.
