Macbeth: A Novel brings the intricacy and grit of the historical thriller to Shakespeare’s tale of political intrigue, treachery, and murder. In this full-length novel written exclusively for audio, authors A. J. Hartley and David Hewson rethink literature’s most infamous married couple, grounding them in a medieval Scotland whose military and political upheavals are as stark and dramatic as the landscape in which they are played.

Historia
Hamlet, Shakespeare's most popular, and perhaps most puzzling play, follows the form of a "revenge tragedy", in which the hero, Hamlet, seeks vengeance against his father’s murderer, his uncle Claudius, now the king of Denmark. Much of its fascination, however, lies in its uncertainties. This new full-cast recording - based on the most respected edition of Shakespeare's classic - expertly produced by the Folger Theatre, is perfect for students, teachers, and the everyday listener.

Historia
It's a story you think you know: the age-old tale of "star-cross'd lovers"; two families at war; a romance, so pure and absolute, fated for a tragic end. It's a story so thoroughly embedded in our culture, and so frequently retold. Yet, nothing captures the spark, the possibility, and the surprise of Shakespeare's work quite like this....

Historia
When a well-known British TV historian, Marmaduke Godolphin, is found murdered in the canals of Venice during carnival, stabbed by a stiletto blade, the Venetian police are eager to have the case solved and cleared up within a day—murder is bad for tourism! The police recruit the help of retired archivist, Arnold Clover. Godolphin had hired his services on arriving in Venice to help sort through some historical papers of note. These dusty documents may contain previously unknown information about the assassination of the murderer, Lorenzino de' Medici, 500 years previously.

With the last bit of Austen's legacy threatened, a group of disparate individuals come together to preserve both Jane Austen's home and her legacy.

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

England in the 1520s is a heartbeat from disaster. If the king dies without a male heir, the country could be destroyed by civil war. Henry VIII wants to annul his marriage of 20 years and marry Anne Boleyn. The pope and most of Europe opposes him. Into this impasse steps Thomas Cromwell: a wholly original man, a charmer and a bully, both idealist and opportunist, astute in reading people, and implacable in his ambition. But Henry is volatile: one day tender, one day murderous. Cromwell helps him break the opposition, but what will be the price of his triumph?

Resumen del Editor
It is a tale of ghosts, of madness, of revenge - of old alliances giving way to new intrigues. Denmark is changing, shaking off its medieval past. War with Norway is on the horizon. And Hamlet - son of the old king, nephew of the new - becomes increasingly entangled in a web of deception - and murder.
Struggling to find his place in this strange new order Hamlet tries to rekindle his relationship with Ophelia - the daughter of Elsinore’s cunning spy master, a man with plots of his own. Hamlet turns for advice and support to the one person he can trust -- Young Yorick, the slippery, unruly jester, whose father helped Hamlet through a difficult childhood. And all the while the armed forces of Fortinbras, prince of Norway, start to assemble, threatening to bring down Elsinore forever.
Beautifully performed by actor Richard Armitage ("Thorin Oakenshield" in the Hobbit films), Hamlet, Prince of Denmark takes Shakespeare’s original into unexpected realms, reinventing a story we thought we knew.
A. J. Hartley is the New York Times best-selling author of the Will Hawthorne fantasy series and several thrillers, as well as the Darwen Arkwright books for younger readers. He is the Russell Robinson Distinguished Professor of Shakespeare at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
David Hewson is the best-selling author of more than 20 novels, including the Nic Costa crime series and a trilogy of books based on the hit Danish television show The Killing. His most-recent novel, The House of Dolls, begins a new series set in Amsterdam.
Richard Armitage is known to movie audiences around the world as "Thorin Oakenshield" in the trilogy of films based on The Hobbit. Born in Leicester, England, and trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, Armitage has performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company, and created memorable roles on Robin Hood, North & South, and other British TV series.

That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story that Shawn could sell to help alleviate those bills—and suggested he ask the same of his other writer friends. Unfettered is the result: An anthology built in order to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre.

The future of Britain is at stake. In the turbulent times of the Dark Ages, the despotic Uther Pendragon, High King of Celtic Britain, is nearing death, and his kingdom is being torn apart by the squabbling of minor kings. But only one man can bring the Celts together as a nation and restore peace - King Arthur. Artorex (Arthur) doesn't yet seem like the great man he will grow into. We meet him as a shy, subservient twelve-year-old living in the foster home of Lord Ector, who took in Artorex as a babe to protect him from murderous kin.

His daughter Lucrezia, age 22 - already three times married and a pawn in her father's plans - is discovering her own power. And then there is his son Cesare Borgia, brilliant, ruthless, and increasingly unstable; it is his relationship with Machiavelli that gives the Florentine diplomat a master class in the dark arts of power and politics.

A great novel on its own
Without the play, this would still be an excellent novel. The backstory is fleshed out and scenes are added that are only mentioned in the play or hinted at. It really brings a new depth to the story.

An Enthralling Version
I recently finished listening to Hamlet Prince of Denmark: A Novel written by A. J. Hartley & David Hewson. This is Hamlet told from a different perspective.
In the afterwards they discuss not only the various versions of Hamlet, both written by Shakespeare and previous to him, but also the possible inspiration for the play. Hamlet over the centuries has been portrayed as a dark adventure in some cases and, in others, as a maudlin tale rife with speeches from a tragic character.
Their retelling of the tale embraces more of the action oriented version of it. They also write the whole thing in modern English and abandon the format of the play altogether. Plays are not meant to be read, they are meant to be seen. This version reads like a very modern novel, rife with details that could never be included in a play simply due to the differing format of the two styles.
To top it off they got Richard Armitage to narrate the thing. His voice brings the whole thing to life in a way that might not have been wholly possible without him. He almost makes you believe that he could act so well as to cry tears upon command.
This is not Shakespeare's Hamlet. For the most part, though not wholly, they abandon his language altogether. This is not to imply there is anything wrong with Shakespeare's Hamlet. I personally find his prose both lyrical and beautiful. There are also some changes to the tale. The tale is still clearly recognizable as Hamlet, but 'tis just different enough to breath new life into it.
Conclusion: I personally find this version of Hamlet to be delightful and feel it adds depth to the Shakespearean version. I can see some hard core Shakespeare fans, however, despising such changes as anathema to all they hold dear. With that in mind I would recommend this to anyone, save that group who views Shakespeare's words as both sacred and immutable. For anyone else, I think this is a thoroughly enthralling version of Hamlet.

Glad I picked it up. very well performed. The story was very vivid and I enjoyed it more than just reading the play.

Fantastic Interpretation and Heartfelt Performance
It reads like a thriller. The author remains faithful to the themes of Hamlet without getting hung up on the language. It’s accessible, entertaining, and thought provoking. The interpretation of Yorick was a fresh approach. The reader masterfully handles the voices of the many characters. I’m so happy I gave it a try!

loved it!
engaging story line, great performance. the way the writers added to the story keeps you guessing about the main character (i don't want to give any spoilers, just listen or read it!) and refreshes an old story. came here for Richard Armitage, stayed for the really wonderful reading of a truely great book.

Shakespeare, but not as you know it.
I’ve always struggled with the stories that I know I should read/watch/go see. The classics. I couldn’t get past the barriers that turned my brain to mush at the first soliloquy.
Enter the sublime marriage of Richard Armitage reading this reimagined version of Hamlet, a thriller by Hartley and Hewson.
Listen to it. You’ll be riveted.

Great Novel of Shakespeares Best Play
This is a great novel of Shakespeare's best play. The authors fill in the gaps in the play especially with Ophelia. I highly recommend the book.

Wonderful
Would reread again and again. I loved Richard’s performance. I love how it falls under a thriller instead of Freudian analysis. This was a delight to listen to from beginning to the end.

A Great Retelling
A great novelization of the story known as Hamlet. Well worth listening to. Highly recommend, unless you are listening for an actual Shakespearean course.

An extremely well done interpretation
Would you listen to Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: A Novel again? Why?
Absolutely...I already have because as with Shakespeare, I feel one listening is never enough and discover new layers of meaning in each hearing. I also can never hear enough of Mr. Armitage's beautiful voice and wonderful characterizations. I love that the authors never make any clear delineation about the questions of Hamlet's madness or dream state, but add new layers and explanations for some of the characters behavior in the play. I also love hearing the famous speeches in their interpretation.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Ophelia for her layers of depth and love for Hamlet; she seems the only truly compassionate character in the book.
What does Richard Armitage bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
That voice. I would rate his reading talent and his baritone voice in the same league as Alan Rickman, Jeremy Irons and Derek Jacobi. I have heard Mr. Armitage read the Lords of the North, and found his Danish and Saxon accents, characterizations and unique approach to each absolutely brilliant. This really worked well in this book as well when he reads the character of Fortinbras and the mercenary Scots he employs. He has narrated many other audiobooks and I truly hope he continues to do so, as I will always buy his work.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
You thought you knew Hamlet...
Any additional comments?
More from the authors and narrator please!! Looking forward to hearing MacBeth now that I have heard this!
