Prospero's Books est pellicula Anglice anno 1991 a Petro Greenaway moderata. Musica a Michaele Nyman composita est; saltationes Carina Saporta direxit. Pellicula e comoedia Shakesperiana The Tempest oritur, sed in multis rebus mutata. Titulus e versibus Shakesperianis sumitur in quo Prospero, dux Mediolanensis in exsilio in insula quadam degens, filia sua Miranda originem eorum et evasionem explicat:



Some food we had, and some fresh water, that


A noble Neopolitan Gonzalo


Out of his charity (who being then appointed


Master of this designe) did give us, with


Rich garments, linnens, stuffs, and necessaries


Which since have steeded much; so of his gentlenesse


Knowing I loved my bookes, he furnishd me


From mine owne Library with volumes that


I prize above my dukedome (The Tempest act. I sc. 2).
