Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Shakespeare's plays have had many offshoots. Gertrude and Claudius, though, stands in a class of its own: a superlative homage from one imaginative veteran to another."--The Sunday Times (London)

"[A] pearl of a book . . . a game for real stakes . . . Updike has used Shakespeare to write a free-standing, pleasurable, and wonderfully dexterous novel about three figures in complex interplay."--The New York Times Book Review

"A living, powerfully physical work . . . Updike is a superbly skillful writer."--The Wall Street Journal

Reseña del editor:

Set before the action begins in Shakespeare's Hamlet, this speculative novel follows the lives of Gertrude and Claudius, King and Queen of Denmark, as they wend their way towards adultery and treachery to ascend the throne. Reprint. 35,000 first printing.
