Shakespeare’s Five Stories – Urdu

With Pronunciation and Glossary

Introduction to Five Stories by Shakespeare. This book is in Urdu

This volume presents five of Shakespeare’s most famous plays retold as stories in simple, engaging prose for Urdu readers of all ages. These adaptations preserve the emotional depth, dramatic tension, and thematic richness of the originals while offering accessibility to readers unfamiliar with Shakespearean English or classical theatrical form.

The five stories included are: The Tempest — a tale of magic, forgiveness, and renewal; The Merchant of Venice — a powerful reflection on justice, prejudice, and compassion; As You Like It — a celebration of love, identity, and freedom in nature; King Lear — a tragic meditation on power, pride, and the fragile bond between parent and child; Hamlet — a profound journey through grief, doubt, and the search for meaning.

These retellings serve as an ideal introduction to Shakespeare’s timeless works. They open a door to literature that transcends language and culture, bringing the brilliance of the Bard to a new generation of readers. In every character, in every moral dilemma, we are reminded that human hearts beat with the same longings — no matter the tongue, no matter the age.

In this special edition, the Urdu text is carefully marked with diacritics (zer, zabar, pesh, tashdeed) to ensure accurate pronunciation, rhythm, and ease of reading — especially for younger readers and students of Urdu. A comprehensive Urdu glossary accompanies the text, clarifying difficult words, and unusual expressions, helping readers of all ages fully enjoy and understand the tales.
