Who killed Hamlet? Did Claudius really murder his brother? Was the late King really poisoned through the ear? What is the true nature of the Ghost who came to visit the Prince on the battlement of Elsinore? Did the tragedians, who came to play at the court, get there by chance? Under what actual circumstances did young Ophelia drown? Why did a Norwegian prince become king of Denmark at the denouement of the drama? Here are some of the most intricate and baffling puzzles of William Shakespeares most famous tragedy.

This play tells the tormented story of the Prince of Norway and offers a radical change in perspective, that sheds a new light on these questions and the entire political-criminal intrigue. Fortinbras, in Shakespeare, is an ambitious young man whose conquering armies walk across the background. By bringing the Norwegian plot to the foreground, this book shows us that what really happened at Elsinore is quite different from what Shakespeare has suggested so far.
