출판사 설명
Not only was Hamlet one of William Shakespeare’s most popular works during his lifetime, it is also considered among the most powerful and influential works of world literature. “To be, or not to be,” a line from one of Hamlet’s soliloquies, is one of the most widely known quotes in modern English and has been referenced in countless works of literature, theater, film, and music.
During a dark winter night Horatio and a pair of watchmen encounter a ghost that resembles the late King of Denmark, the father of Prince Hamlet. After failing to converse with the ghost, Hamlet is brought to the site of the encounter. The ghost tells the story of his death. He was murdered by King Claudius, the dead king’s brother and Hamlet’s new stepfather. Hamlet swears to avenge him and kill Claudius.
This Standard Ebooks edition is based on William George Clark and William Aldis Wright’s 1887 Victoria edition, which is taken from the Globe edition.

An unfortunate soul I am…
I’m a late comer to “all-things-Shakespeare” much to my shame. I’m close to the familiarly uttered lexicon that has been created from his mind and put to pen as well as the most repeated quotes from my comings and goings on the (modern) entertainment landscape.
A title this well known and recognized must and should be experienced by all. Doing so also gives the best standard(s) to judge and measure anything that identifies itself as playwright material or as a novel submitted to capture the zeitgeist of its era.
Para Hamlet
Príncipe de Dinamarca es Hamlet, cuya vida, antaño serena, se ve trastornada cuando el espectro de su padre, surgido de las sombras, le revela una verdad terrible: que no murió por causas naturales, sino por la mano traidora de su propio hermano, Claudio, hoy rey, y esposo de la reina Gertrudis, madre del desdichado príncipe.
Sumido en hondas penas, turbado entre la ira y la duda, Hamlet decide cubrir su propósito con el velo de la locura fingida, mientras busca certeza y ocasión para la venganza. Mas en tal empresa, su conducta perturba a cuantos le rodean, y en especial a la dulce Ofelia, cuyo espíritu, incapaz de soportar tal tormento, se quiebra hasta perder la razón.
Deseoso de probar la culpa del rey, dispone Hamlet una representación teatral que imita el vil asesinato; y al contemplarla, el semblante de Claudio traiciona su conciencia, revelando así su crimen. No obstante, cuando la ocasión de obrar se presenta, Hamlet vacila, y su indecisión abre las puertas a nuevas desgracias.
En un giro funesto, hiere de muerte a Polonio, padre de Ofelia, agravando aún más la tragedia. La joven, consumida por el dolor, encuentra la muerte, y su hermano Laertes, encendido en furia, jura venganza. Claudio, siempre astuto, manipula a Laertes y trama la caída de Hamlet mediante un duelo mortal, cargado de veneno.
Mas los designios humanos rara vez siguen el curso previsto: la reina Gertrudis bebe del cáliz envenenado y muere; Laertes y Hamlet se hieren con armas fatales; y antes de exhalar su último aliento, Hamlet cumple su venganza dando muerte al rey Claudio. Finalmente, el príncipe sucumbe, dejando el reino en manos de Fortimbrás.
Así se despliega esta tragedia, donde la venganza, la traición, la locura y la duda se entrelazan, mostrando cómo el alma humana, presa de su propio conflicto, puede caminar inexorablemente hacia su ruina.
