معلومات عن هذا الكتاب الإلكتروني

Vale Ferne was born in China, from where her family moved from another country; and now lives in Canada. Shakespeare captured her interest early in life, and a reading of Hamlet at a night school in Toronto intensified it. Others of her favorite writers are J.J. Rousseau, L.G. Byron and J.L. Borges. Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: A Thought Quarter'd is her first book.

In Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: A thought Quarter’d Vale Ferne offers her own radical, fresh and witty reading of Shakespeare’s play in the light of the legendary history of Denmark. She goes beyond “deconstruction” to “reconstruction,” splitting and combining Shakespeare’s characters to create a whole new cast of her own. Her new version is a true Jeu d’esprit that can be read entirely for itself yet offers provocative insights into Shakespeare’s play. Enjoy!
