I’ll update this page when I’ve read more.įor those who might be interested, I’ve transcribed the contents page below. There’s an introduction before every play, and after there are notes on the sources of inspiration, how many versions there are of the text, some statistics on the characters, and what proportions are prose and verse. Notes on the texts appear on every page in the footnotes. I’m very pleased with my choice thus far. Since there were no previews for either edition, I went by popularity. Two editions were available: one produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company and The Norton Shakespeare. To keep costs down I looked at buying a complete works. Jonathan Bateis professor of Shakespeare and Renaissance literature at the University of Warwick. His dramatic works have been translated into every major language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. For this project I figured I would need plenty of notes to understand the text from a reliable source. Shakespeare’s vast body of work includes comedic, tragic, and historical plays poems and 154 sonnets.

6/12/2023 0 Comments Steal like an artist bookThe book is part of the trilogy of success of the author Austin Kleon. In fact, the aim here is to mention the act of absorbing some foreign idea and incorporating it into one's own project. Opportunely, we point out that the meaning of the word "steal", used in the book and in this article, is far from the true technical meaning, related to crime. This is a book that presents 10 tips to help you overcome creative inertia and do a good job through the art of "stealing". In today's summary, we'll learn 10 essential tips from author Austin Kleon to "steal" good ideas, unlock our creative process and leverage our dream projects. The truth is that we are under the constant influence of the people around us, the artists we like and the leaders that we admire, and that we must learn from them to create something authentic and of our own. Getting away from the idea that to create something new you have to start from scratch is a good kick-off to start your career. Do you know when you have a great idea but can't develop it? Or when we are so worried about the reaction of others that we don't even carry out our own project? Sometimes we find ourselves in a situation of complete stagnation of our own plans and we don't know what to do to solve that problem.

She was known for her treatment of gender ( The Left Hand of Darkness, The Matter of Seggri), political systems ( The Telling, The Dispossessed) and difference/otherness in any other form. Her recent publications include the novel Lavinia, an essay collection, Cheek by Jowl, and The Wild Girls. Le Guin published twenty-two novels, eleven volumes of short stories, four collections of essays, twelve books for children, six volumes of poetry and four of translation, and has received many awards: Hugo, Nebula, National Book Award, PEN-Malamud, etc. 6/12/2023 0 Comments Randomize andy weirKate no longer wishes to follow Tully into broadcasting and is more drawn to fiction writing, but she hesitates to tell her overbearing friend.

Lifelong, conflicted friendship of two women is the premise of Hannah’s maudlin latest ( Magic Hour, 2006, etc.), again set in Washington State. 6/11/2023 0 Comments Love comes softly by janette okeBut Nandry seems unable to come to terms with Clarks handicap is she blaming God for the accident?

That’s the way they do it here – it’s everybody into the language pool, sink or swim. The first day of class was nerve-racking because I knew I’d be expected to perform. As an added discomfort, they were all young, attractive, and well-dressed, causing me to feel not unlike Pa Kettle trapped backstage after a fashion show. Some accents were better than others, but the students exhibited an ease and confidence that I found intimidating. Regardless of their nationalities, everyone spoke what sounded to me like excellent French. Vacations were recounted, and questions were raised concerning mutual friends with names like Kang and Vlatnya. My school is an easy ten-minute walk from my apartment, and on the first day of class I arrived early, watching as the returning students greeted one another in the school lobby. I’ve moved to Paris with hopes of learning the language. Me Talk Pretty One Day – By David SedarisĪt the age of forty-one, I am returning to school and have to think of myself as what my French textbook calls “a true debutant.” After paying my tuition, I was issued a student ID, which allows me a discounted entry fee at movie theaters, puppet shows, and Festyland, a far-flung amusement park that advertises with billboards picturing a cartoon stegosaurus sitting in a canoe and eating what appears to be a ham sandwich. 6/11/2023 0 Comments Chasing Fire by Pamela ClareBut, as she’s about to find out, he’s more than her match. She’s confident and sexually assertive, and he’s secure enough to lie back and let her make the first strike. Still, he’s more than happy to oblige her. … of no-strings sex … Navy SEAL Javier “Cobra” Corbray is on his way home from a rough deployment in Afghanistan when he finds himself having dinner with “the Baghdad Babe.” What she wants from him–sex with no strings–could land them both in prison. When a ripped and sexy stranger intervenes to stop a couple of drunks from harassing her in a hotel bar in Dubai City, all she can think about is spending the rest of the weekend with him–in her bed. What she doesn’t want is marriage or kids. Just a weekend… Laura Nilsson knows what she wants: a successful career as a broadcast journalist–and a little fun between the sheets now and again. 6/11/2023 0 Comments The forgotten garden reviewThe pace – there were choices made with some of the chapters which slowed the progress of the book down significantly.It rooted the story, for me, as being properly Cassandras, first and foremost, and kept that present day link when we were in the past. The narrator – I enjoyed Caroline Lee’s soft Australian accent.All crucial aspects of storytelling when you have such a complex plot. The main characters – Eliza, Nell and Cassandra were expertly portrayed, easy to tell apart, and stayed in character.While this is part of the reason the book is so long, I think it pays off. The descriptive writing – Ms Morton is not afraid to take her time over a scene. The different time settings (well, I would, wouldn’t I!) – Edwardian, 1970s and present day were all done equally well.Her writing flows smoothly, and her descriptions were often lyrical and lovely. This was my first time reading a Kate Morton book and I would definitely try another. I recommend this system for anyone who is a bit out of the habit of regular reading, as well as a way of getting a really rich reading experience. I think this helped me immerse myself into such a lengthy book something I haven’t done for years. Goodness, that was a long book! I listened to the audio and read the ebook edition of The Forgotten Garden, switching from one to the other depending on which was more practical at the time.
