Han er byens bedste politimand. Da en narkoaktion udvikler sig til et blodbad, er det Macbeth og hans team, der rydder op. Han er tidligere narkoman. Han har alting inden for sin rækkevidde: Magt. Penge. Respekt. Men en mand som ham når aldrig helt til tops. Macbeth er plaget af hallucinationer og paranoia, og han er overbevist om, at han ikke får, hvad der retmæssigt tilhører ham. Medmindre han slår ihjel. Jo Nesbøs nye thriller bevæger sig rundt i menneskesindets mørkeste irgange og ud i en by plaget af korruption og kaos. "Det er en fornem gendigtning og gennemskrivning af Shakespeares store kongedrama.

Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex. Shakespeare’s Macbeth is one of the greatest tragic dramas the world has known. Macbeth himself, a brave warrior, is fatally impelled by supernatural forces, by his proud wife, and by his own burgeoning ambition. As he embarks on his murderous course to gain and retain the crown of Scotland, we see the appalling emotional and psychological effects on both Lady Macbeth and himself. The cruel ironies of their destiny are conveyed in poetry of unsurpassed power. In the theatre, this tragedy remains perennially engrossing.

Jo Nesbøs hæsblæsende og dystre nyfortolkning af William Shakespeares verdensberømte drama indlæses af Bent Otto Hansen, som er en af landets mest benyttede og anmelderroste lydbogsindlæsere. Han har indlæst bl.a. Dostojevskijs Idioten og Kældermennesket, Hemingways Hvem ringer klokkerne for, Stefan Zweigs Skaknovelle samt nyere bestsellere af Morten Ramsland, Dan Brown og altså Jo Nesbø.Jo Nesbø har med "Macbeth" skrevet en intens og psykologisk thriller, der både omhandler de dunkle afkroge af menneskets sind og forbrydelser i en mørk og korrupt storby i 1970’erne.Læseren følger Macbeth, en af politiets dygtigste og mest anerkendte betjente. Han er kendt for sin handlekraft og indsigt i den kriminelle underverden. Under den ambitiøse overflade kæmper Macbeth dog med sine helt egne problemer. En dyster fortid og et korrumperet sind præget af hallucinationer og paranoia æder sig langsomt ind på Macbeths kamp for magt.Lighederne mellem Macbeth og Harry Hole er slående. I starten er de begge helte men ender med at blive fordærvede. De vil have det hele for sig selv og går efter magten.

The authoritative edition of Macbeth from The Folger Shakespeare Library, the trusted and widely used Shakespeare series for students and general readers. In 1603, James VI of Scotland ascended the English throne, becoming James I of England. London was alive with an interest in all things Scottish, and Shakespeare turned to Scottish history for material. He found a spectacle of violence and stories of traitors advised by witches and wizards, echoing James’s belief in a connection between treason and witchcraft. In depicting a man who murders to become king, Macbeth teases us with huge questions. Is Macbeth tempted by fate, or by his or his wife’s ambition? Why does their success turn to ashes? Like other plays, Macbeth speaks to each generation. Its story was once seen as that of a hero who commits an evil act and pays an enormous price. Recently, it has been applied to nations that overreach themselves and to modern alienation. The line is blurred between Macbeth’s evil and his opponents’ good, and there are new attitudes toward both witchcraft and gender. The edition includes: -Freshly edited text based on the best early printed version of the play -Newly revised explanatory notes conveniently placed on pages facing the text of the play -Scene-by-scene plot summaries -A key to the play’s famous lines and phrases -An introduction to reading Shakespeare’s language -An essay by a leading Shakespeare scholar providing a modern perspective on the play -Fresh images from the Folger Shakespeare Library’s vast holdings of rare books -An up-to-date annotated guide to further reading Essay by Susan Snyder The Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, is home to the world’s largest collection of Shakespeare’s printed works, and a magnet for Shakespeare scholars from around the globe. In addition to exhibitions open to the public throughout the year, the Folger offers a full calendar of performances and programs. For more information, visit Folger.edu.

One of the great Shakespearean tragedies, Macbeth is a dark and bloody drama of ambition, murder, guilt, and revenge. Prompted by the prophecies of three mysterious witches and goaded by his ambitious wife, the Scottish thane Macbeth murders Duncan, King of Scotland, in order to succeed him on the throne. This foul deed soon entangles the conscience-stricken nobleman in a web of treachery, deceit, and more murders, which ultimately spells his doom. Set amid the gloomy castles and lonely heaths of medieval Scotland, Macbeth paints a striking dramatic portrait of a man of honor and integrity destroyed by a fatal character flaw and the tortures of a guilty imagination. A selection of the Common Core State Standards Initiative.

With a foreword by Kat Delacorte, author of With Fire in Their Blood ‘ It will have blood, they say: blood will have blood ’ On a bleak, stormy night in Scotland, three witches prophesy: Macbeth will be a lord twice-over and Macbeth will be king; but Banquo’s sons will also be kings.

'A supreme theatrical poem that has a language that eats into the soul' Michael Billington, Guardian Shakeapeare's blood-soaked drama of murder, madness and the uncanny begins as Macbeth is promised a golden future as ruler of Scotland by supernatural forces. Spurred on by his wife, he murders the king to ensure his ambitions come true. But he soon learns the meaning of terror - killing once, he must kill again and again, while the dead return to haunt him. Macbeth is an anatomy of fear and a bleak portrayal of what some will do to achieve their desires.

Ny selvstændig krimi af Jo Nesbø, en af verdens bedste krimiforfattere. "Macbeth" er Jo Nesbøs længe ventede nyfortolkning af William Shakespeares verdensberømte drama. Jo Nesbø har med "Macbeth" skrevet en intens og psykologisk thriller, der både omhandler de dunkle afkroge af menneskets sind og forbrydelser i en mørk og korrupt storby i 1970'erne. Læseren følger Macbeth, en af politiets dygtigste og mest anerkendte betjente. Han er kendt for sin handlekraft og indsigt i den kriminelle underverden. Under den ambitiøse overflade kæmper Macbeth dog med sine helt egne problemer. En dyster fortid og et korrumperet sind præget af hallucinationer og paranoia æder sig langsomt ind på Macbeths kamp for magt. Lighederne mellem Macbeth og Harry Hole er slående. I starten er de begge helte men ender med at blive fordærvede. De vil have det hele for sig selv og går efter magten.
