Download or read book Prince Hamlet written by James Söderholm and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-27 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hamlet is a twelve year-old boy who hangs out in cemeteries and has a black horse called Nightmare. Yorick is alive and well and teaching the gloomy little prince how to play with words. Young Hamlet worries that he will never be a good king because he thinks too much and doesn't like killing things or grabbing more land. Hamlet debates theology with Horatio and goes swimming with Ophelia but spends most of his time learning how to be a wise fool before Yorick mysteriously dies. Prince Hamlet is at once a stand-alone set of stories about a boy whose magical skills are intellectual and verbal and it is a canny foreshadowing of the major events and ideas in Shakespeare's most famous play. It turns out that Yorick is-as Harold Bloom observed-both Hamlet's true mother and his father.

Download or read book Hamlet s Arab Journey written by Margaret Litvin and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-23 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past five decades, Arab intellectuals have seen themselves in Shakespeare's Hamlet: their times "out of joint," their political hopes frustrated by a corrupt older generation. Hamlet's Arab Journey traces the uses of Hamlet in Arabic theatre and political rhetoric, and asks how Shakespeare's play developed into a musical with a happy ending in 1901 and grew to become the most obsessively quoted literary work in Arab politics today. Explaining the Arab Hamlet tradition, Margaret Litvin also illuminates the "to be or not to be" politics that have turned Shakespeare's tragedy into the essential Arab political text, cited by Arab liberals, nationalists, and Islamists alike. On the Arab stage, Hamlet has been an operetta hero, a firebrand revolutionary, and a muzzled dissident. Analyzing productions from Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Kuwait, Litvin follows the distinct phases of Hamlet's naturalization as an Arab. Her fine-grained theatre history uses personal interviews as well as scripts and videos, reviews, and detailed comparisons with French and Russian Hamlets. The result shows Arab theatre in a new light. Litvin identifies the French source of the earliest Arabic Hamlet, shows the outsize influence of Soviet and East European Shakespeare, and explores the deep cultural link between Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser and the ghost of Hamlet's father. Documenting how global sources and models helped nurture a distinct Arab Hamlet tradition, Hamlet's Arab Journey represents a new approach to the study of international Shakespeare appropriation.

This book was released on 2022-02-21 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps one of Shakespeare's most adventure-filled plays, "Pericles" follows the extended sailing journeys of a young prince. Pericles is forced to flee Antioch when he correctly guesses a riddle that reveals the incestuous activity of King Antiochus. Unable to stay at home in Tyre because of Antiochus' vengeance, he sails away and ends up shipwrecked in Pentapolis, where he fights for and wins a princess named Thaisa. The trials and tribulations of this couple and their daughter Marina fill the remaining acts of "Pericles" with grief and trepidation, as well as joy and a truly heartwarming reunion. A laudable component of Shakespeare's collection of plays, "Pericles, Prince of Tyre" is a compelling story of family and struggle that resonates with readers even today.
