Hamlet in Belarusian

[Curt F. Woolhiser]

Hi James,

There's a translation of Hamlet by Yurka Hauruk in the volume "Uil'yam Shekspir.
Sanety. Trahedyi" (Minsk: Mastatskaya litaratura , 1989). If you like, I can
send you a xerox of the passage.

Best regards,
Curt

P.S. Good luck with your project!

> What dramatic text better speaks to the future of

> independence than this passage, I wonder?  "To be, or
> not to be,... Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to
> suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or
> to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by
> opposing end them?"  If anyone has any other dramatic

> Thank you for your attention!
