«Hamlet» is the tragedy by William Shakespeare, published by Penguin Books in paperback (192 pages, in English).
The young prince Hamlet returns to Elsinore and encounters the ghost of his father, who charges him with avenging his murder at the hands of his brother Claudius. To confirm the betrayal, Hamlet feigns madness while grappling with his mother's grief, Ophelia's love, and the corruption of the court, in a spiral of deceit that ends in tragedy.
Part of the Penguin Popular Classics collection; this edition was published in 1994.
For literature students and readers approaching the classics of English theatre.
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" or simply "the Bard". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, 3 long narrative poems and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
