«Hamlet» is the tragedy by William Shakespeare in a Catalan paperback edition (312 pages).
Based on an ancient legend, it tells the tragic fate of Prince Hamlet: the death of his father, his mother's remarriage to the hated uncle, and the revelation by his father's ghost that he was murdered. Melancholy, revenge, apparent madness, and the divide between feeling and reason make the character a mythical figure.
Catalan translation by Joan Sellent. Part of the Quaderns collection (no. 3). Edition published in 2012.
General public and students of literature and theatre; commonly read in schools.
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.
