Inhaltsangabe

First published in 1603, 'Hamlet' is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, an English playwright, poet, and actor. He is widely considered the most splendid writer in the English language and the world's most remarkable dramatist. This is renowned for classic lines and perceptive characterization and is often cited as Shakespeare's greatest play and of course as a tragedy of ghostly proportions.

The play, set in Denmark, recounts how Prince Hamlet exacts vengeance on his uncle Claudius, who has murdered Hamlet's father, the King, and then taken the throne and married Hamlet's mother. The play vividly charts the course of real and pretended madness-from overwhelming grief to seething rage-and explores themes of betrayal, retribution, incest, and ethical depravity.

This version brings this magnificent Shakespearean classic strikingly to life. Revealing new riches, it is an invaluable aid for students, teachers, and all true lovers of Shakespeare - a work to be cherished for decades to come.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

James Anthony is an award-winning, multi-genre author from London, England. With a keen eye, sharp wit, and poetic irreverence, he retold all 154 of Shakespeare's sonnets in modern verse, published by Penguin Random House in 2018. Described by Stephen Fry as 'a dazzling success,' he continues to retell the Bard's greatest plays in his popular 'Shakespeare Retold' series. When not tackling the Bard, Anthony is an offbeat travel writer, documenting his trips in his 'Slow Road' series, earning him the moniker the English Bill Bryson.
