In this quintessential Shakespeare tragedy, a young prince's halting pursuit of revenge for the murder of his father unfolds in a series of highly charged confrontations that have held audiences spellbound for nearly four centuries. Those fateful exchanges, and the anguished soliloquies that precede and follow them, probe depths of human feeling rarely sounded in any art. The title role of Hamlet, perhaps the most demanding in all of Western drama, has provided generations of leading actors their greatest challenge. Yet all the roles in this towering drama are superbly delineated, and each of the key scenes offers actors a rare opportunity to create theatrical magic. As if further evidence of Shakespeare's genius were needed, Hamlet is a unique pleasure to read as well as to see and hear performed. The full text of this extraordinary drama is reprinted here from an authoritative British edition complete with illuminating footnotes. (back …

Review of 'Hamlet' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Cieszę się, że wróciłam do klasyków. Teraz, w tym wieku i po uzyskaniu pewnej wiedzy, odbieram je zupełnie inaczej niż w szkole.
Uwielbiam to jak Shakespeare stworzył bohaterów, takich prawdziwych. "Hamlet" skłonił mnie do refleksji o przeznaczeniu, śmierci i o sprawczości.
Plus - poczucie humoru jest wybitne.
Na pewno dużo dało mi przeczytanie książki pana Komorowskiego "Hamlet. Williama Shakespreare'a" - mała książeczka, ale tylko jeśli chodź o rozmiar, bo zawiera mnóstwo informacji, nadaje Hamletowi kontekst i miejsce w historii.

Review of 'Hamlet' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Sin duda es un gran clásico de esos que todo lector debe atender en algún momento. La poesía y el teatro no me van mucho, pero no por ello se puede dejar de lado una obra de esta envergadura. Ayuda mucho el tono de tragedia, pues usted se puede imaginar el desenlace, ansia que pase algo mejor, pero quiere saber cómo se desarrollaran las cosas.

Aunque no lo crean, era virgen en cuanto a la historia de Hamlet, pues si bien se menciona en muchos otros libros y programas televisivos, nunca había puesto atención detallada a su trama. Así que lo he disfrutado de inicio a fin. Poco a poco voy conociendo un poco más del maestro Shakespeare.

Me llené de los sentimientos de amor, odio, venganza, dolor, alegría y tantos otros que llenan la obra, es sencillo dejarse llevar. Uno más para recordar.
