OTHELLO
By Julius Lester

Othello is a powerful general, revered by his soldiers and honored by his peers. But his strength cannot contain his jealousy and rage when he believes his beautiful wife, Desdemona, has been unfaithful. As deception leads to tragedy, nobody is safe… Award-winning author Julius Lester takes one of Shakespeare's most intense plays and brings modern life to this saga of two doomed, passionate souls and a kingdom torn apart by secrets, lies, and violence.

Excerpt:
All morning she had sat in the window seat of her room.  Looking down into the courtyard of the castle she could see peasants hurrying back and forth from the storehouse to the kitchen.  The soldiers were returning, and once again the Great Hall would be loud with laughter and singing.  And once again, she would take her place between her father and him at the table.
