Hamlet is a tragedy written by Shakespeare between 1599 and 1602, which tells the story of Prince Hamlet’s revenge against Claudius, his uncle. Claudius has killed his father and seized the throne along with the King’s wife.

One nite in the kingdom of Denmark, the guards, Bernardo and Marcellus, along with Hamlet’s friend, Horatio, suddenly encountered a ghost that closely resembled the recently deceased King Hamlet. They swore to tell Prince Hamlet about what they had witnessed.

At the same time, Ophelia, the daughter of the royal advisor, confesses her feelings for Hamlet to her father and brother. However, they forbid her from trying to gain the Prince’s attention.

So, what happened next? Is what the ghost said really true? And did Hamlet succeed in avenging his father? Get the answer in this book!
