Hamlet as the "Ill-Made Knight." How many of us have wrestled with the character of Hamlet? Was he insane? Was he feigning insanity? Did his "antic disposition" lead him into insanity? And what about all the contradictions? Contemplative down to his very marrow, yet everything he does on stage is on impulse. A likeable character (witty, a punster, and a rhymer--even his uncle admits of "the great love the general gender bear him"), yet he is responsible for one of the larger "body counts" in any stage production.

In Princes, Brokers, and Bureaucrats, the most thorough treatment of the political economy of Saudi Arabia to date, Steffen Hertog uncovers an untold history of how the elite rivalries and whims of half a century ago have shaped today's Saudi state and are reflected in its policies. Starting in the late 1990s, Saudi Arabia embarked on an ambitious reform campaign to remedy its long-term economic stagnation. The results have been puzzling for both area specialists and political economists: Saudi institutions have not failed across the board, as theorists of the "rentier state" would predict, nor have they achieved the all-encompassing modernization the regime has touted. Instead, the kingdom ...

In the Kingdom of Sholveria the once happy and contented royal household is thrown into shambolic uproar.

For although she wanted to rant and rave and screech and squabble and stamp her feet and wave her arms, she knew that at this time it was important, if their plan was to succeed, to stay calm and quiet.”
