Hamlet (Golden Eagle World Classics Collection, Illustrated)

The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, or just Hamlet, is arguably Shakespeare's best known tragedy, and is still today one of the most performed plays in the world. Written around 1600, Shakespeare's longest play with more than 30,000 words follows the Danish Prince Hamlet on his revenge against his uncle Claudius, who killed Hamlet's father to take possession of his throne and marry Hamlet's mother.
