The moral dilemma of Hamlet, to take revenge for his murdered father without simultaneously violating his moral principles, to deliver justice according to reason and law and not according to the passions of the moment, is more relevant than ever.

The question of Hamlet, to be or not to be in a world governed by corruption, today as various self-appointed moralists take it upon themselves "in the name of the people" to take justice into their own hands, gains specific value for the modern reader.

The new bold translation of the most famous Shakespearean work by the experienced and highly awarded author and translator Pavlos Matesis justly demands comparison with previous versions.
