Synopsis
HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics.
O, that this too too solid flesh would melt,
Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew!
Considered one of Shakespeare’s richest and most psychologically complex plays, Hamlet follows the young Prince of Denmark as he vows to avenge the murder of his father by his uncle. Affecting madness in a desperate gambit to reveal the truth, Hamlet strains his relationships, his sense of self and ultimately the future of the state in his doomed attempt to avenge his father.
A play of carefully crafted conflict and tragedy, Shakespeare’s intimate portrayal of duty, revenge and the power of grief is one of his finest works that continues to fascinate and thrill audiences to this day.
