Hamlet by William Shakespeare [Paperback]

Hamlet is set in the Kingdom of Denmark, where the ghost of the recently deceased King appears on a cold winter night. The ghost reveals to Prince Hamlet, the King's son, the secret of his murder and urges him to take revenge on the murderer. Hamlet, unconvinced and indecisive, stages a play to recreate the murder in order to confirm the truth. Torn between avenging his father's death and his tendency to hesitate, Hamlet’s internal struggle leads to a complex journey of revenge.

Shakespeare's Hamlet, a quintessential Elizabethan revenge play, is the playwright's longest work and one of the most quoted in English literature. It has also been described as "the world’s most filmed story after Cinderella."
