Synopsis

The Oresteia Trilogy, Aeschylus's seminal work, is a powerful exploration of justice, revenge, and the dynamics of familial loyalty. Comprising three plays'ÄîAgamemnon, The Libation Bearers, and The Eumenides'Äîthis trilogy unfolds the tragic tale of the House of Atreus, marked by cycles of bloodshed and moral confrontation. Aeschylus employs a rich, lyrical style that masterfully intertwines dialogue and choral interludes, allowing for a profound engagement with themes that resonate through time. The trilogy is often viewed within the context of the transition from archaic to democratic justice in ancient Athens, reflecting the societal upheavals and philosophical inquiries of the era. Aeschylus, regarded as the 'Father of Tragedy', was deeply influenced by the sociopolitical landscape of 5th-century BCE Athens. His experiences as a soldier in the Persian Wars and his engagement with the evolving Athenian democracy informed his dramatic works. The Oresteia Trilogy stands as a culmination of his philosophical reflections on morality, divine retribution, and the complexities of human fate, establishing a narrative that invites scrutiny and discourse surrounding justice and retribution. This unabridged English translation of The Oresteia is essential for both scholars and general readers alike, offering a poignant invitation to witness the foundational narratives of Western tragedy. Through its tragic depth and philosophical richness, this trilogy not only captivates but also challenges readers to reflect on contemporary issues of justice and morality, making it a timeless and necessary read.

    My name is Ashlee. I am a victim of murder. Through a series of events and by two shots of a gun, I was made a widow at the age of 28, with my youngest child just six weeks old. I am a victim of infidelity. I have felt unlovable. I have felt rejected. I have had days in my life when I wasn’t sure if I would ever take a breath again, let alone be able to raise my five children by myself. I have lived in fear. I have felt much heartache. I have felt truly broken to my core. I have carried some heavy burdens...not only of my own, but burdens put upon my shoulders by the death of my husband. I have felt alone. I have felt humiliated. I have been humbled to my knees. I have searched my soul to find my worth in this world, and in the life that was left for me. My world has been totally shattered. I have faced realities I never knew were possible, and found strength within myself to keep up the fight and live every day as if it was on purpose. I have been carried by Angels...both earthly beings and those unseen. I have found that being a “victim” doesn’t mean we have an excuse to stop living. Being a victim means finding a reason for seeking a higher road. I have picked up the pieces left and carried on. I am a mother. We are survivors. In one way or another, we are all victims. There are times in our lives when we are forced to question who we are at our core. This is my story...the defining moments that have truly brought me to my knees, the times when I’ve questioned to my core my very existence, and the experiences I’ve had that have shown me who I really am and who my Heavenly Father still needs me to become. The night of my husband’s death was my darkest hour, but also the very moment when I saw firsthand that my Heavenly Father sent Angels on errands for me. He carried me. It was the hour when all my fears and all the pain of this world collided together and He was there...putting back together all the pieces, one step at a time.

    Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in Campden Hill, Kensington on May 29th 1874. 
    Originally after attending St Pauls School he went to Slade to learn the art of illustration.  In 1896 he joined a small London publisher and began his journalistic career as a freelance art and literary critic before going on to writing weekly columns in the Daily News and the Illustrated London News. 
    In 1901 he married Frances Blogg, to whom he remained married for the rest of his life. 
    For many he is known as a very fine novelist and the creator of the Father Brown Detective stories which were much influenced by his own beliefs.  A large man – 6’ 4” and 21st in weight he was apt to be forgetful in that delightful way that the British sometimes are – a telegram home to his wife saying he was in one place but where should he actually be…….? 
    He was prolific in many other areas; he wrote plays, short stories, essays, loved to debate and wrote hundreds of poems.  It is on his poems that we concentrate this volume.  They range from the virtues and vices of England and the English to his world view and religious beliefs. 
    GK Chesterton died of congestive heart failure on 14th June, 1936 and is buried in Beaconsfield just outside of London. 
    This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.
