Quintessence of Dust - The Mystical Meaning of Hamlet (Paperback)


Shakespeare's "Hamlet" contains a profound spiritual message for mankind that has been largely unrecognized for centuries.

Nothing, in fact, is more wrong.

"Quintessence of Dust" now explains how Shakespeare meticulously crafted every scene to convey, through our emotional involvement in the drama, a central spiritual message. The book also explains by a single coherent theme practically every aspect of the play that has puzzled critics for centuries. It demonstrates that "Hamlet" is nothing short of an artistic miracle, reflected both in its poetic brilliance and in its profound meaning.
