Hamlet

William Shakespeare

Maison d'édition: Zenith Whispering Pines Publishers

Synopsis

"To be, or not to be—that is the question."

Experience the pinnacle of English literature with William Shakespeare's Hamlet. When the Prince of Denmark returns home to find his father murdered and his uncle, Claudius, upon the throne, a ghostly encounter sets him on a harrowing path of vengeance. What follows is not merely a story of revenge, but a profound exploration of the mind, mortality, and the complexity of the human soul.

Caught between action and contemplation, Hamlet navigates a royal court teeming with treachery and surveillance. From the tragic fate of the beautiful Ophelia to the unforgettable "To be or not to be" soliloquy, this play contains some of the most famous lines ever written in the English language.

Whether he is confronting the ghost of his father, sparring with the cunning Polonius, or contemplating the skull of the jester Yorick, Hamlet's journey remains the ultimate study of a man at war with himself. This definitive edition captures the full power of the Bard's masterful prose and poetic brilliance.

Witness the drama that defined the modern world. Buy "Hamlet" today and own the greatest tragedy ever told.

Top 10 Poets The - The English...

Elizabeth Barrett-Browning

The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
 
But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
 
In this volume we explore the works of the English Woman.  In their times many were neglected and ignored.  Society was male dominated and women were definitely second class.  Even a title didn’t bring equality, just a little more respect.  But now we can hear their words for the wonder that they are.  They speak on all manner of things with words that are knowing, inspiring and truthful.  Genius in every name.

1984

George Orwell

'O'Brien! They've got you too!'
'They got me a long time ago.'
Winston Smith is in prison, found guilty of Thoughtcrimes against Big Brother. As part of his reconstruction, he must re-enact key moments from his past life, with the help of other thought criminals, so that everyone can learn from his mistakes. Including his biggest mistake of all: falling in love with Julia.
George Orwell's classic dystopia 1984 is a still-resonant vision of the tolls of living under totalitarianism. Constructed almost entirely from dialogue taken from the original novel, this bold and powerful dramatisation restores the blazing heart of Orwell's work: a doomed love story, with the lovers at its centre.
This pre-eminently stageable version, adapted with an eye on economy by Nick Hern for a cast of five or more, is ideal for any school, youth group or amateur company looking to bring Orwell's chilling vision to life on stage.

The Fear of 13

Lindsey Ferrentino

'And now, even the truth sounds like a lie.'
Nick's got a story to tell you. About how a routine traffic stop turned into a conviction for murder. About how he spent the next twenty-two years on Death Row. About how he finally petitioned the court, asking not for an appeal – but for his execution date. And about what happened next…
Based on the extraordinary true story of Nick Yarris – and on David Sington's documentary film about him – The Fear of 13 is a gripping exploration of truth and justice, and the chasm between them.
Lindsey Ferrentino's play premiered to critical acclaim at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in 2024, and was nominated for several Olivier Awards including Best New Play. This edition, featuring a revised version of the text and an exclusive afterword by Nick Yarris, was published alongside the play's Broadway premiere in 2026, directed by David Cromer and starring Adrien Brody.

Born in the USA - The...

Stephen Vincent Benét, Louisa...

Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another. Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us.

Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy.

In the volumes of this series we take a look through the prism of individual regions of the United States through the centuries and decades.

The United States may be many things: the world’s policeman, a bully, a shameless purveyor of mass market culture but it also, in its better moments, a standard bearer for truth, transparency, equality and the more positive qualities of democracy.

Little wonder that’s its poets are rightly acknowledged as wonders of their art. Leading lights in the fight against slavery and for equality, even if the rest of the Nation is finding it problematic to catch up.

In this volume we have collected verse from poets born in Pennsylvania, one of the most famous states of the Union. Its proud and illustrious history shines out through verse by such illustrious and venerated names as Stephen Vincent Benet, Louisa May Alcott, Wallace Stevens, Hilda Doolittle, Henry Van Dyke, and others as they explore its status, its nature and its role in shaping the world of verse.

Go Figure

Rae Armantrout

The poems in Pulitzer Prize-winner Rae Armantrout's new book are concerned with "this ongoing attempt/ to catalog the world" in a time of escalating disasters. From the bird who "check-marks morning/once more//like someone who gets up/to make sure// the door is locked" to bat-faced orchids, raising petals like light sails as if about to take flight, these poems make keen visual and psychological observations. The title Go Figure speaks to the book's focus on the unexpected, the strange, and the seemingly incredible so that: "We name things/ to know where we are." Moving with the deliberate precision that is a hallmark of Armantrout's work, they limn and refract, questioning how we make sense of the world, and ultimately showing how our experience of reality is exquisitely enfolded in words. "It's true things fall apart." Armantrout writes. 'Still, by thinking/we heat ourselves up."Sample TextHYPER-VIGILANCEHilarious,the way a crab's slendereye-stalksstand straight upfrom its scuttlingcarapace—the way vigilancetakes many forms? *That bird check-marks morningonce morelike someone who gets upto make surethe door is locked. *I soundlike I knowwhat I'm talking about.I sound like a comedian.
