The Real Text : Salinan Asli Buku Shakespeare Ditemukan di Perancis
Tanpa buku First Folio, banyak karya Shakespeare, seperti Julius Caesar, As You Like It,
Twelfth Night, dan Macbeth mungkin tak akan pernah dikenal dunia karena karya-karya
tersebut termasuk dalam 18 naskah drama yang tak pernah dipublikasikan sampai
Shakespeare wafat tahun 1616. Perpustakaan penemu salinan ini mengatakan mereka tidak
berencana untuk menjual First Folio, namun hanya akan memamerkannya di pameran buku
mendatang. Selain salinan yang ditemukan kali ini, hanya ada satu salinan First Folio di
Perancis dan saat ini berada di Perpustakaan Nasional Paris.Di luar Perancis, salinan First
Folio dilelang seharga 2,8 juta poundsterling di London pada 2006. Salinan lainnya dilelang
senilai US$5,6 juta pada 2001 di New York.
