The Klingon Hamlet
Topic: Arts 10:12 am EDT, Oct  5, 2004

] The original edition of the book went through years of
] translation and several revisions, with translators Nick
] Nicholas and Andrew Strader aided by feedback and
] editorial assistance from Mark Shoulson, d'Armond Speers,
] and Will Martin. Translation by committee is a tricky
] thing, but Hamlet represents the largest piece of text in
] Klingon to date and we wanted to be as grammatically
] accurate as possible. That concern resulted in several
] hundred changes to the text when Pocket Books expressed
] an interest in publishing a trade paperback version. In
] the intervening years Klingon scholarship had revealed
] new insights into the language and we insisted on
] incorporating them into the new book. Nick Nicholas and
] Lawrence Schoen expanded the appendices for the new
] edition as well, giving further insight into the play and
] its context in the larger scope of Imperial and
] Federation politics.
]
] You may think you've read Hamlet before, but you can't
] really appreciate it until you've read it in the original
] Klingon. Now's your chance. Enjoy!
