About This Book "In the third millennium it is the first Ukrainian translation of the pinnacle Shakespeare’s novel, the play that has not left the stage since it’s creation until nowadays. Hamlet may be perceived however you like, - either in the spirit of classics or postmodernism, but it is next to impossible to find a person left indifferent towards the tragedy about the Prince of Denmark. Ideally this work is to be translated by every generation - with its own characteristic vocabulary, focuses and nuancing. Our edition of “Hamlet” is created by two significant figures of the modern Ukrainian cultural scene - the writer Yuri Andrukhovych and the illustrator Vladyslav Yerko. Their version of “Hamlet” is a lucky chance to live through this ingenious work in a brand new way, to acutely feel its eternal relevance and modernity“. A-ba-ba-ha-la-ma-ha
