{"product_id":"9780763654337","title":"Hamlet: A Novel","description":"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark, but Hamlet can't be sure what's causing the stench. His rage at his mother's infidelities - together with his greed for the sensual Ophelia and his dead father's call to revenge a \"murder most foul\" - have his mind in chaos, and he wants to scatter his traitorous uncle's insides across the fields. But was it really his father's ghost that night on the ramparts, or a hell-fiend sent to trick him? \"Action is hot,\" he tells Ophelia, who lives shut up in a tower with her longings and lust. \"Action is courage, and reflection is cowardly. Picking up the knife has the colors of truth. As soon as I hesitate. . . .\" In this dark, erotically charged, beautifully crafted novel, John Marsden brings one of Shakespeare's most riveting characters to full-blooded life in a narrative of intense psychological complexity.","brand":"Candlewick Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47118367228144,"sku":"9780763654337","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780763654337_p0.jpg?v=1763659556","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780763654337","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
