‎The rare first full transation of any of Shakespeare's works into Swedish. A translation of a scene from Coriolanus appeared in 1796, but Macbeth was the first of his plays to be printed in Swedish. From the libary of Swedish crime writer, children's author, and dramatist, Henning Mankell, best known for a series of mystery novels starring his most noted creation, Inspector Kurt Wallander.‎
