Synopsis "Hamlet, Reimagined: Hamlet, 2 Versions (in English)"

Walter Schenck's adaptation of William Shakespeare's play, Hamlet, is an astonishing achievement, offering an existential adventure that brilliantly reimages the characters with skillful intrigue. Mr. Schenck has added dialogue to clarify ambiguous stanzas presenting the most formable and original poetry ever conceived for such a play, integrating history, politics, and religion beyond Shakespeare's skill. In this Herculean task, Mr. Schenck has incredulously maintained the original flow of the play, vastly extending it while boldly modernizing it. Mr. Schenck captures Shakespeare's intent so magnificently, he has, without a doubt, surpassed all Shakespearean scholars. Undeniably, Mr. Schenck has taken complete ownership of Hamlet. No work, anywhere, by anyone, has performed a more extraordinary job. Henceforth, Shakespeare's Hamlet will probably be known as Schenck's Hamlet. No greater praise can be bestowed on Mr. Schenck this this! BRAVO! As an added bonus, Mr. Schenk has included the best reformatted version of the original play ever offered, making it easy on the eye for every actor to know where the line is that they are reading. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to buy any other book on Hamlet, than this one.

William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, c. 23 de abril de 1564jul. - Ibídem, 23 de abril/3 de mayo de 1616) fue un dramaturgo, poeta y actor inglés. Conocido en ocasiones como el Bardo de Avon (o simplemente el Bardo), se le considera el escritor más importante en lengua inglesa y uno de los más célebres de la literatura universal.

Según la Encyclopædia Britannica, «Shakespeare es generalmente reconocido como el más grande de los escritores de todos los tiempos, figura única en la historia de la literatura. La fama de otros poetas, tales como Homero y Dante Alighieri, o de novelistas tales como León Tolstoy o Charles Dickens, ha trascendido las barreras nacionales, pero ninguno de ellos ha llegado a alcanzar la reputación de Shakespeare, cuyas obras hoy se leen y representan con mayor frecuencia y en más países que nunca. La profecía de uno de sus grandes contemporáneos, Ben Jonson, se ha cumplido por tanto: "Shakespeare no pertenece a una sola época sino a la eternidad"».
