内容简介
One of the greatest plays of all time, the compelling tragedy of the tormented young prince of Denmark continues to capture the imaginations of modern audiences worldwide. Confronted with evidence that his uncle murdered his father, and with his mother's infidelity, Hamlet must find a means of reconciling his longing for oblivion with his duty as avenger. The ghost, Hamlet's feigned madness, Ophelia's death and burial, the play within a play, the "closet scene" in which Hamlet accuses his mother of complicity in murder, and breathtaking swordplay are just some of the elements that make Hamlet an enduring masterpiece of the theater.

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in April 1564, and his birth is traditionally celebrated on April 23. The facts of his life, known from surviving documents, are sparse. He was one of eight children born to John Shakespeare, a merchant of some standing in his community. William probably went to the King's New School in Stratford, but he had no university education. In November 1582, at the age of eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway, eight years his senior, who was pregnant with their first child, Susanna. She was born on May 26, 1583. Twins, a boy, Hamnet ( who would die at age eleven), and a girl, Judith, were born in 1585. By 1592 Shakespeare had gone to London working as an actor and already known as a playwright. A rival dramatist, Robert Greene, referred to him as "an upstart crow, beautified with our feathers." Shakespeare became a principal shareholder and playwright of the successful acting troupe, the Lord Chamberlain's Men (later under James I, called the King's Men). In 1599 the Lord Chamberlain's Men built and occupied the Globe Theater in Southwark near the Thames River. Here many of Shakespeare's plays were performed by the most famous actors of his time, including Richard Burbage, Will Kempe, and Robert Armin. In addition to his 37 plays, Shakespeare had a hand in others, including Sir Thomas More and The Two Noble Kinsmen, and he wrote poems, including Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece. His 154 sonnets were published, probably without his authorization, in 1609. In 1611 or 1612 he gave up his lodgings in London and devoted more and more time to retirement in Stratford, though he continued writing such plays as The Tempest and Henry VII until about 1613. He died on April 23 1616, and was buried in Holy Trinity Church, Stratford. No collected edition of his plays was published during his life-time, but in 1623 two members of his acting company, John Heminges and Henry Condell, put together the great collection now called the First Folio. 精彩书评

Enter Barnardo and Francisco, two sentinels Meeting
BARNARDO Who's there?
FRANCISCO Nay, answer me: stand and unfold yourself.
BARNARDO Long live the king!
FRANCISCO Barnardo?
BARNARDO He.
FRANCISCO You come most carefully upon your hour.
BARNARDO 'Tis now struck twelve: get thee to bed, Francisco.
FRANCISCO For this relief much thanks: 'tis bitter cold,
And I am sick at heart.
BARNARDO Have you had quiet guard?
FRANCISCO Not a mouse stirring.
BARNARDO Well, goodnight.
If you do meet Horatio and Marcellus,
The rivals of my watch, bid them make haste.
Enter Horatio and Marcellus
FRANCISCO I think I hear them.- Stand! Who's there?
HORATIO Friends to this ground.
MARCELLUS And liegemen to the Dane.
FRANCISCO Give you goodnight.
MARCELLUS O, farewell, honest soldier. Who hath relieved you?
FRANCISCO Barnardo has my place. Give you goodnight.
Exit Francisco
MARCELLUS Holla! Barnardo!
BARNARDO Say, what, is Horatio there?
HORATIO A piece of him.
BARNARDO Welcome, Horatio: welcome, good Marcellus.
MARCELLUS What, has this thing appeared again tonight?
BARNARDO I have seen nothing.
MARCELLUS Horatio says 'tis but our fantasy,
And will not let belief take hold of him
Touching this dreaded sight twice seen of us:
Therefore I have entreated him along
With us to watch the minutes of this night,
That if again this apparition come,
He may approve our eyes and speak to it.
HORATIO Tush, tush, 'twill not appear.
BARNARDO Sit down awhile,
And let us once again assail your ears,
That are so fortified against our story,
What we two nights have seen.
HORATIO Well, sit we down,
And let us hear Barnardo speak of this.
BARNARDO Last night of all,
When yond same star that's westward from the pole
Had made his course t'illume that part of heaven
Where now it burns, Marcellus and myself,
The bell then beating one-
好的,这里为您奉上一个关于《唐·吉诃德》的详细图书简介,完全不涉及《哈姆雷特》的内容,力求自然流畅,字数充足: --- 《奇情异想的骑士与他忠诚的侍从:唐·吉诃德·德·拉曼查的奇妙一生》 作者: 米格尔·德·塞万提斯·萨维德拉 译者: (此处可根据实际译本填写,例如:许德芳、王央生、陈 পেলাম等) 版本信息: (例如:精装典藏版/权威修订版/全译本) 开本/页数参考: (例如:16开,约1200页) 鸿篇巨制,西班牙文学的永恒丰碑 《唐·吉诃德·德·拉曼查》不仅仅是一部小说,它是一座里程碑,是西方文学史上第一部真正意义上的现代小说,也是西班牙黄金时代最伟大的文学成就。塞万提斯以其洞察人性的深刻智慧和无与伦比的幽默感,为后世留下了这部跨越了地域与时代的史诗性巨著。 本书讲述了一个年近半百、沉迷于骑士文学的西班牙乡绅——阿隆索·吉哈诺的故事。在拉曼查的一个小村庄里,他日复一日地阅读那些关于英勇骑士、邪恶巫师和美丽淑女的传奇故事,最终将虚构的骑士世界与残酷的现实混为一谈。在“光荣”的感召下,他决定改名为唐·吉诃德,穿上锈迹斑斑的盔甲,骑上瘦骨嶙峋的坐骑罗西南多,立誓成为一名行侠仗义、匡扶正义的流浪骑士。 骑士的幻觉与凡人的智慧 唐·吉诃德的每一次“远征”,都是一场由他自身想象力构建的宏大戏剧。他将风车视为残暴的巨人,将肮脏的客栈视为宏伟的城堡,将普通的农妇视为他心目中圣洁的贵妇杜尔西内娅·台伯诺萨。这些滑稽而又充满悲剧色彩的误会,构成了小说前半部最令人捧腹的情节。 为了成就骑士的身份,唐·吉诃德强行拉来了淳朴的邻居——一位务实的农民桑丘·潘沙,作为他的侍从。桑丘虽然目不识丁,却拥有世间最朴素、最接地气的民间智慧。这对古怪的组合——一个沉浸于幻想的理想主义者(唐吉诃德),一个精明圆滑、只顾口腹之欲的现实主义者(桑丘),构成了文学史上最经典、最迷人的二人组。 在他们漫游卡斯蒂利亚平原的旅途中,塞万提斯通过两人亦庄亦谐的对话,探讨了理想与现实、自由与责任、荣誉与世俗等深刻的哲学命题。桑丘总是在试图将主人拉回现实,而唐吉诃德则不断地将现实提升到他理想的维度。 讽刺的武器与人性的深度 《唐·吉诃德》初衷是讽刺当时西班牙文学界泛滥的、脱离实际的骑士小说,但塞万提斯的手法远超单纯的嘲弄。随着故事的深入,尤其是在小说第二部中,唐·吉诃德和桑丘不再仅仅是被动的笑料,他们开始意识到自己是“被书写的人物”。他们遇到了形形色色的贵族、牧师、学者、商人,这些人或嘲笑他们,或利用他们的疯狂来娱乐自己,但最终,许多人都被唐吉诃德那份近乎神圣的真诚和坚守所打动。 塞万提斯展现了惊人的文学技巧:他精妙地运用了叙事中的叙事(故事套故事),巧妙地穿插了许多独立的短篇故事,丰富了故事的层次感,也反映了十七世纪西班牙社会的众生相。 理想主义的挽歌与现代精神的萌芽 小说的高潮在于唐·吉诃德最终被“击败”——他被一位自称“白月骑士”的人打败,并被迫承诺放弃骑士生活,回家乡隐居一年。这场失败标志着骑士理想在残酷的理性面前的暂时溃败。 当他回到家中,在清醒的时刻,他抛弃了“唐·吉诃德”的身份,重新变回了阿隆索·吉哈诺。在临终前,他忏悔了自己的荒唐行为,并为世人留下了宝贵的遗产——对纯粹信念的追求。 这部作品之所以不朽,是因为它捕捉了人类精神中永恒的矛盾:我们都需要一个“骑士”来指引我们对抗平庸和腐朽,哪怕那个骑士看起来像个疯子。它赞美了那些敢于“做梦”的人,即使他们的梦想注定要与现实碰撞得头破血流。它不仅是西班牙人的骄傲,更是全人类共享的精神财富。阅读《唐·吉诃德》,就是与一位智者同行,体验一场既让人捧腹大笑,又让人潸然泪下的精神洗礼。 关键词: 骑士文学、浪漫主义、现实主义、哲学思辨、幽默讽刺、西班牙文学、经典名著。
