本书讲述丹麦王子哈姆雷特的父王在花园中打盹时突然神秘死去，皇叔继位并娶母后为妻，这令哈姆雷特深觉羞愧与愤怒。他对父亲的死因有所怀疑，忧郁过度，终日愁容满面。某夜他遇见父王鬼魂诉冤，终于知道原来是皇叔为篡位娶嫂而毒害亲兄。为报父仇他假装发疯以避开皇叔监视，并请戏班进宫表演一出与父王被杀经过十分相似的戏剧，逼使叔父原形毕露，结果他却误杀恋人奥菲莉亚的父亲，导致她因此发疯坠河而死。他的母亲后来也误饮毒酒身亡。优柔寡断的王子终于在怒不可遏之下杀死万恶的叔叔。

This Penguin Shakespeare edition is edited by T.J.B. Spencer with an introduction by Alan Sinfield. 'To be or not to be - that is the question' Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. When young prince Hamlet is confronted by his father's ghost on the battlements of Castle Elsinore, he is burdened with a terrible task: slay King Claudius, Hamlet's uncle, who the ghost alleges murdered him. Wrestling with his conscience, Hamlet feigns wild madness while plotting a brutal revenge, alienating his mother Queen Gertrude and spurning his lover Ophelia. But the act of insanity takes Hamlet perilously close to the reality, wreaking havoc on guilty and innocent alike.

威廉·莎士比亚（William Shakespeare，1564－1616），英国文学史上杰出的戏剧家和诗人，欧洲文艺复兴时期重要的作家。他流传下来的作品包括38部戏剧、155首十四行诗、两首长叙事诗和其他诗歌。由于莎士比亚在戏剧方面的巨大成就，被喻为“人类文学奥林匹克山上的宙斯”，影响了包括狄更斯、歌德、巴尔扎克等一代又一代的文学家，并同古希腊三大悲剧家埃斯库罗斯（Aeschylus）、索福克勒斯（Sophocles）及欧里庇得斯（Euripides）合称戏剧史上的四大悲剧家。

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was a poet, playwright, and actor who is widely regarded as one of the most influential writers in the history of the English language. Often referred to as the Bard of Avon, Shakespeare’s vast body of work includes comedic, tragic, and historical plays; poems; and 154 sonnets. His dramatic works have been translated into every major language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
