This hilarious Shakespearean parody of Hamlet for Star Trek fans provides a Klingon and English translation of The Tragedy of Khamlet.

For too long, readers throughout the Federation have been exposed to The Tragedy of Khamlet, Son of the Emperor of Qo’nos—a seminal Klingon classic—only through inadequate and misleading English translations. Now at last, thanks to the tireless efforts of the Klingon Language Institute, this powerful drama by the legendary Klingon playwright, Wil’yam Shex’pir can be appreciated in the elegance and glory of its original tongue.

This invaluable bilingual Klingon and English edition contains the complete text of the play, along with an English translation for easy consultation and comparison. In addition, an incisive introduction explains the play’s crucial importance in Klingon culture and literature, while copious notes illustrate how the debased English version diverges from the original, often distorting and even reversing the actual meaning of the verses.

A must-have for Star Trek, Shakespeare, and parody fans, this is a work that belongs in the library of every human who hopes truly to understand what it means to be Klingon.
