Book Description
A morbid tragedy about mortality, madness, and murder, Hamlet follows the eponymous Prince of Denmark as he plots to avenge his father's murder at the hands of Claudius, Hamlet's uncle and the current king, who married Hamlet's mother, Gertrude. Haunted by a ghost and arguing with his girlfriend Ophelia, Hamlet struggles to take revenge, as delay and feigned insanity preoccupy him. Rounding out the cast are other famous figures, like Horatio, and Polonius, and of course, the Gravedigger, who finds the skull of "poor Yorick." Perhaps Shakespeare's most popular play, Hamlet.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Secret of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark Act first, this Earth, a stage so gloomed with woe You all but sicken at the shifting scenes. And yet be patient. One Playwright may show, In some fifth act, what this wild drama means. - Tennyson, "The Play." Antonio. In sooth, I know not why I am so sad. It wearies me; you say, it wearies you; But how I caught it, found it, or came by it, What stuff't is made of, whereof it is born, I am to learn; And such a want-wit sadness makes of me, That I have much ado to know myself. Gratiano. You look not well, Signior Antonio; You have too much respect upon the world: They lose it, that do buy it with much care. Believe me you are marvellously chang'd. Antonio. I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano; A stage, where every man must play a part, And mine a sad one. - Shakespeare, "The Merchant of Venice." My mystery is for me, and for the sons of my house. - Saying attributed to Jesus in Clem. Alex. Strom. v. 10, 64. His care to guide his flock and feed his lambs, By words, works, prayers, psalms, alms, and anagrams. - Cotton Mather.

Book Description
Passion, romance, drama, humor, and tragedy intertwine in this compulsively readable Hamlet retelling, from the perspective of a strong-willed, modern-day Ophelia. Meet Ophelia, high school senior, daughter of the Danish king's most trusted adviser, and longtime girlfriend of Prince Hamlet of Denmark. She lives a glamorous life and has a royal social circle, and her beautiful face is splashed across magazines and television screens. But it comes with a price--her life is ruled not only by Hamlet's fame and his overbearing royal family but also by the paparazzi who hound them wherever they go. After the sudden and suspicious death of his father, the king, the devastatingly handsome Hamlet spirals dangerously toward madness, and Ophelia finds herself torn, with no one to turn to. All Ophelia wants is to live a normal life. But when you date a prince, you have to play your part. Ophelia rides out this crazy roller coaster life, and lives to tell her story in live television interviews.
