«Hamlet» is the tragedy by William Shakespeare published by Austral in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
The tragedy is set in Elsinore Castle, where Prince Hamlet, surrounded by corruption and pretence, wavers between reflection, irony and possible madness as he tries to uncover the truth and avenge his father's death.

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.
