Introduction
for parents and teachers
Both today, with
the world at the edge of a cliff, and when the story of prince Hamlet first saw
the light at the hand of William Shakespeare four hundred years ago, the
promises to man, the lies that feed false hope, are on human lips. So, now as
in then, the uncomfortable presence of the non-conformist and indomitable
Danish prince becomes essential; especially when we talk about a literary menu
of a youth who barely understands the tides of the world they sail.
