His brilliant solution was to become iconic: the face of Shakespeare built up from the titles of all the plays as they appear in the First Folio.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe poster has been seen all over the world; but Abram Games intended much more. After his death, his daughter Naomi discovered a mock up he had made of a flick book. As the reader flicked the pages, Games planned to make Shakespeare’s face gradually emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNow at last Games’ original project is coming to life. All 37 plays are included, in the order they are printed in the First Folio of 1623, ending with \u003cem\u003ePericles, Prince of Tyre,\u003c\/em\u003e added to the collection in the Third Folio of 1664. At the end, the playwright makes a graceful exit, marked by the poems and the lost or doubtful plays. The book is completed with some favourite quotations, and the date of each work. Naomi Games has written a brief introduction about the history of Games’ image.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pallas Athene Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888045371735,"sku":"9781843681373","price":8.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-workes-of-william-shakespeare-a-flickbook-by-abram-games-9781843681373","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
