Coriolanus (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - Hardcover

Coriolanus is a tragedy that follows the life of Caius Marcius, a distinguished Roman general renowned for his military prowess, particularly in the siege of Corioli against the Volscians. His valor earns him the honorific "Coriolanus." Encouraged by his mother, Volumnia, he seeks political power as a consul. However, his disdain for the common people and inflexibility lead to political conflict, resulting in his banishment from Rome. In exile, Coriolanus allies with his former enemy, Tullus Aufidius, leader of the Volscians, to exact revenge on Rome, setting the stage for a complex exploration of pride, loyalty, and the volatile dynamics of power and politics.
