The book "The Life of Timon of Athens" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy about a rich Athenian nobleman who suddenly found himself in poverty and betrayed all his friends. Timon, who once thought that money could bring happiness, finds himself in the arms of poverty, loses faith in humanity. The book is an embodiment of the Shakespearean theme of goodness and evil, mercy and greed. Can true happiness be achieved with the help of money? Is it possible to believe in friendship and loyalty in a world where everyone thinks only of their own benefits? These questions are still relevant today, which is why Shakespeare's work remains important in any era.
