Description
Laertes A Hamlet Retelling by Carly Stevens is a poignant dark academia novel that offers a fresh perspective on Shakespeare's masterpiece. Set against the backdrop of 1920s Europe, this story follows Laertes Belleforest as he navigates two vastly different worlds: a carefree existence with friends studying Classics in Paris, and a stifling life in the Danish court where Hamlet dominates every aspect. As Laertes approaches his final year at university, he is forced to confront the kind of man he wants to become. But who is he, beyond the influence of those around him and the guilt that haunts him? When tragedy strikes Denmark, Laertes' questions are given a sense of urgency, propelling him towards a catastrophic conclusion. This novel is a gripping exploration of love, revenge, and the complexities of human nature, reminiscent of If We Were Villains.
