About the book

William Shakespeare's Timon of Athens follows a wealthy Athenian whose extravagant generosity attracts a crowd of flattering friends and dependants. When his fortune collapses and those he helped refuse to support him, Timon's faith in friendship and society turns into furious misanthropy. The play is a dark satire on money, ingratitude, false friendship and the corrosive effects of both excess and disillusionment.
