Timon d'Athènes by William Shakespeare
"Timon d'Athènes" by William Shakespeare is a play written around 1606. It follows a wealthy Athenian who generously showers his friends with lavish gifts and money until his fortune runs dry. When he seeks help in his time of need, those same companions turn their backs on him. Betrayed and enraged, Timon abandons Athens for the wilderness, cursing humanity and embracing bitter misanthropy. His discovery of gold in exile draws former friends
and opportunists back, but Timon's transformation is complete and irreversible. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
