Адаптирано ученическо издание. ... Всяка епоха търси своя Шекспир и своя Хамлет. В душата на Хамлет се води една епична битка между доброто и злото, между светлината и тъмнината, между ада и рая, между живота и смъртта. Хамлет е едновременно и благ, и груб; мил и жесток; бездеен и енергичен; разсъдлив и безразсъден; сантиментален и циничен; отчаян и обнадежден. В никоя своя пиеса Шекспир не е разгърнал с такава мощ и широта своя гений, както в трагедията "Хамлет". Хамлет е пълен идеалист, който се изправя пред реалността на един несъвършен свят. В книгата ще намерите: предговор от проф. Марко Минков; ... |

"Да говоря за Шекспир и за това какви богатства е внесъл този син на ръкавичар в човекознанието и какво съкровище от поезия е разсипал за нас, не му е мястото тук, макар че казано в негов стил ний знаем: всеки влюбен е винаги готов безкрайно да говори за своята любов... Но лекият тон настрана, за мен многогодишната работа над Шекспировите драми и сонети наистина беше дело на любов. Дано се окаже, че то и в бъдеще ще принася полза на нашата култура и в частност на театъра ни." Валери Петров ... |
