Hamlet. Macbeth

Imagine that you are an advisor, or a traitor, or a warrior loyal to the king — the dead king — the mortal king. Or perhaps, not loyal, or loyal not to the king, or… On the stage of this book, there are many roles, and any of them is yours — if you dare. Among them is the mask of the grieving prince, tormented by doubts and anger. His father was betrayed and killed, and the prince thirsts for revenge — but not murder. Another role is the Scottish dance. The devil whispers to him promises of greatness, the path to which lies through the king's head. But one death is not enough, and the dance drowns in spilled blood. Are you ready to try on their masks? In this edition, the original text of the immortal tragedies of William Shakespeare ‘Macbeth’ and ‘Hamlet’ is presented with a parallel translation by A. I. Kroneberg and S. M. Solovyev accompanied by exquisite engravings of the 19th century, made by masters such as Kenny Meadows, John Gilbert, and Henry Selous, as well as engravings from the illustrated edition of Shakespeare edited by Charles Knight. For ease of reading, each stanza in Russian is placed opposite the corresponding stanza in English. This arrangement allows one to easily compare the original text with the translation, pay attention to the difficulties faced by the translator, and note the most accurately translated fragments. The hardcover with gold embossing feels pleasant to the touch due to its relief elements and the contrast of matte and glossy surfaces, while the refined design inside, engravings, and golden ribbon add elegance and attractiveness to the book. It can be acquired not only for your collection but also as a gift for dear and close people.
