Hamlet’s Father Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

We all know Shakespeare’s classic ghost story-the young prince Hamlet’s dead father appears to him, demanding vengeance upon Hamlet’s uncle Claudius, that has usurped the throne and, to add salt to the wound, married Hamlet’s mother.

The young prince dithers and delays, coming up with excuse after excuse to postpone his vengeance-but not for the reason why Shakespeare told us. It is instead because Hamlet retains discovering evidence that things aren’t quite what they seem in the kingdom of Denmark-and do not have been throughout his existence.

Once you have experienced Orson Scott Card’s revelatory version of the tale, Shakespeare’s play will be much more fun to watch-because you’ll know what’s really happening.

“Card’s prose is powerful.”-Web publishers Weekly in praise for the writer
