"Shakespeare's plays have had many offshoots. Gertrude and Claudius, though, stands in a class of its own: a superlative homage from one imaginative veteran to another."--The Sunday Times (London)
"[A] pearl of a book . . . a game for real stakes . . . Updike has used Shakespeare to write a free-standing, pleasurable, and wonderfully dexterous novel about three figures in complex interplay."--The New York Times Book Review"Sobre este título" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Gertrude and Claudius are the villains of Hamlet: he the killer of Hamlets father and usurper of the Danish throne; she his lusty consort, who marries Claudius before her late husbands body is cold. But in this imaginative prequel to the play, John Updike makes a case for the royal couple that Shakespeare only hinted at. Gertrude and Claudius are seen afresh against a background of fond intentions and family dysfunction, on a stage darkened by the ominous shadow of a sullen, erratic, disaffected prince. I hoped to keep the texture light, Updike said of this novel, to move from the mists of Scandinavian legend into the daylight atmosphere of the Globe. I sought to narrate the romance that preceded the tragedy. In his brilliant novel, Updike tells the story of Gertrude and Claudius, Kingand Queen of Denmark, before the action of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" begins.
