The book "The Tragic History of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. The First ('Bad') Quarto" is one of the first published versions of William Shakespeare's tragedy "Hamlet". Published in 1603, this document is not a complete or authoritative version of the work, but it represents one of the masterpieces of world literature in its early state. This early version is little known and is often compared to the better known "second quarto" and "folio" versions of the play. It reveals the characteristics of the characters in unexpected ways, but leaves many unexplored themes and moments that have remained the subject of debate among critics for centuries. The book "The Tragic Story of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. The First ('Bad') Quarto" inspires readers to experience the same feelings of contradictions and mysteries that were characteristic of the literary world at the beginning of the 17th century.
