An uncluttered presentation of Hamlet, typeset as poetry to bring the Bard's immortal voice to the fore (much as it would have been in the original manuscript) and free of distracting extrania and over-busy layout. Scholarly versions are available elsewhere; this edition will appeal to lovers of the pure. A free pdf copy of the complete book interior is available via the publisher's website.

This really is "The Tragical History of Hamlet Prince of Denmark" and not only the Prince but also his family. Not only his family but his friends. The tragedy started in the previous generation. Will it end with Hamlet?
Many people are interested in dissecting underlying themes and read more into the characters actions than was probably intended. Many of phrases from Hamlet now challenge Bible for those popular quotes that no one remembers where they came from. The real fun is in just reading the story and as you find that it is not as foreign as you may have thought; you see many characters like these around you today.
A synopsis, Old Hamlet conquered Old Fortinbras seizing Fortinbras' land. Now that Old Hamlet is dead, Young Fortinbras wants his land back and is willing to take it by force. Meanwhile back in Dänemark Prince Hamlet who is excessively grieving the loss of his father, the king, gets an interesting insight from his father's ghost. Looks like Old Hamlet was a victim of a "murder most foul"; it appears his mother and uncle were in cahoots on the murder. On top of that they even get married before the funeral meats are cold.
The story is about Hamlet's vacillating as to what to do about his father's murder. However he does surprise many with his persistence and insight.
You will find many great movie presentations and imitations of the story; this is an intriguing read but was really meant to be watched.
