Hamlet: En dansk oversættelse

by William Shakespeare, Autri (translator)

I hjemsøgelsens rige af Shakespearesk tragedie står "Hamlet" som et højtideligt mesterværk, en tidløs udforskning af magt, hævn og kompleksiteten af den menneskelige tilstand. Sat i det danske kongerige Elsinore afslører dette ikoniske stykke en fortryllende fortælling om forræderi, vanvid og familiens uro.

I hjertet af dramaet er Prins Hamlet, en ung adelsmand kastet ind i en verden af bedrag og forræderi efter sin fars pludselige død, Kong Hamlet. Overvældet af sorg og mistanke kæmper Hamlet med tyngden af sin fars spøgelsesagtige fremtoning, der afslører chokerende sandheder om hans onkel Claudius, der har grebet både tronen og dronningens hjerte.

Mens Hamlet navigerer gennem et net af bedrag og moralsk tvetydighed, begynder han en grusom rejse af selvopdagelse og hævn, drevet af en uophørlig stræben efter retfærdighed for sin fars mord. Alligevel udløser han i sin søgen efter hævn en kaskade af tragedie, der opsluger den kongelige domstol i kaos og fortvivlelse.

Gennem sin mesterlige blanding af selvrefleksion og intriger udforsker "Hamlet" dybderne af den menneskelige natur, og afslører sindets skrøbelighed og den ætsende karakter af ukontrolleret ambition. Fra dens ikoniske monologer til dens uforglemmelige karakterer fortsætter Shakespeares hovedværk med at fascinere publikum med sine tidløse temaer og dybe indblik i det menneskelige sind.

En fortælling om kærlighed og tab, forræderi og forløsning, forbliver "Hamlet" et transcendental litterært værk, der inviterer læserne til at grunde over det evige spørgsmå At være, eller ikke at være?

About the author

William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet, and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "the Bard"). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Sometime between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner ("sharer") of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men after the ascension of King James VI and I of Scotland to the English throne. At age 49 (around 1613), he appears to have retired to Stratford, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare's private life survive; this has stimulated considerable speculation about such matters as his physical appearance, his sexuality, his religious beliefs, and even certain fringe theories as to whether the works attributed to him were written by others.
Shakespeare produced most of his known works between 1589 and 1613. His early plays were primarily comedies and histories and are regarded as some of the best works produced in these genres. He then wrote mainly tragedies until 1608, among them Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, all considered to be among the finest works in the English language. In the last phase of his life, he wrote tragicomedies (also known as romances) and collaborated with other playwrights.
Many of Shakespeare's plays were published in editions of varying quality and accuracy during his lifetime. However, in 1623, John Heminge and Henry Condell, two fellow actors and friends of Shakespeare's, published a more definitive text known as the First Folio, a posthumous collected edition of Shakespeare's dramatic works that includes 36 of his plays. Its Preface was a prescient poem by Ben Jonson, a former rival of Shakespeare, that hailed Shakespeare with the now famous epithet: "not of an age, but for all time".

Meestal vind ik Shakespeare een goede schrijver; filosofisch, romantisch en poëtisch, maar hij was geen goede plotschrijver. Dat merk je in Hamlet. Hamlet is een filosoof, maar misschien als enige interessante personage in een tragedie niet helemaal geschikt.

Juzgando por supuesto el libro en su contexto histórico (porque no se debe juzgar con los sesgos de la sociedad actual), es una tragedia que uno debe leer pues es la base de muchas otras historias. Ignorando que hay cosas que dice que no son de mi agrado, sí que tiene una forma de explicar algunas acciones o situaciones que nunca había escuchado y que me han llamado mucho la atención. Sin duda, es un clásico.

Ofelia siempre mi personaje favorito. Hamlet es para mí lo que Edipo fue para Aristóteles.

No sé si Shakespeare esperaba transformarlo en una comedia, pero Hamlet es tan ocurrente que me sacó muchas risas. Also, R.I.P Ofelia, la primera víctima de una situationship
