Mucedorus by William Shakespeare audiobook.
Genre: comedy
In the pastoral kingdom of Aragon, Princess Amadine is courted by the polished courtier Segasto, a match her father favors for reasons of politics and pride. But a stranger arrives with no title to boast of: Mucedorus, the prince of far-off Valencia, traveling in disguise to test love and fortune on his own terms. As he moves between courtly ceremony and the rough freedoms of the countryside, Mucedorus must protect Amadine from sudden dangers, outwit rivals who would claim her hand, and keep his true identity hidden until he can prove his worth. Along the way, the play shifts briskly from high romance to broad, earthy humor, led by comic rustic figures who stumble into the same hazards as their betters and offer a sly mirror to the nobles' ambitions. Mucedorus blends disguise, mistaken judgments, and quick turns of peril into a tale about merit versus status, the risks of desire, and the question of what makes a person truly noble when no one is watching.
