Folio (First Folio)

The First Folio is the original collection of William Shakespeare’s plays, published in 1623, seven years after his death. It contains 36 of his works, including famous plays like "Hamlet" and "Macbeth." This edition is crucial because many of Shakespeare’s plays were not published in print before, and some exist only in this collection. The First Folio helped preserve his legacy and is considered one of the most important books in English literature, providing scholars and theater enthusiasts with a more complete view of Shakespeare’s work.
