August Strindberg

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

August Strindberg's "Plays by August Strindberg, First Series" comprises a groundbreaking collection that showcases his mastery of naturalism and psychological drama. Through a series of innovative plays, including the notable works "Miss Julie" and "The Father," Strindberg explores the intricate dynamics of power, gender, and existential despair, utilizing sharp dialogue and a fragmented narrative style that reflects the complexities of human relationships. Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century Europe, these plays not only challenge societal norms but also draw upon Strindberg's own tumultuous experiences, creating a rich tapestry of emotional turmoil and philosophical inquiry. Strindberg, often considered one of the founders of modern drama, was profoundly influenced by his turbulent personal life, including his relationships and his struggles with mental health. His diverse experiences, from literary success to financial ruin, informed his perspective on societal constraints and the human psyche, motivating him to redefine theatrical boundaries. His works are characterized by a deep understanding of the human condition, presenting a raw and unfiltered examination of life that resonates across generations. "Plays by August Strindberg, First Series" is essential reading for those interested in the evolution of dramatic literature. This compelling collection not only provides insight into the intricate character studies and moral dilemmas that define Strindberg's oeuvre but also invites readers to engage with the universality of his themes. For scholars, students, and enthusiasts of drama alike, this collection is a riveting exploration of the depths of the human experience, securing Strindberg's legacy as a titan of modern theatre.

Kubrick's Men

Richard Rambuss

The work of Stanley Kubrick amounts to a sustained reflection on the male condition: past, present, and future. The persistent theme of his filmmaking is less violence or sex than it is the pressurized exertion of masculinity in unusual or extreme circumstances, where it may be taxed or exaggerated to various effects, tragic and comic—or metamorphosed, distorted, and even undone. 
 
 
 
The stories that Kubrick's movies tell range from global nuclear politics to the unpredictable sexual dynamics of a marriage; from a day in the life of a New York City prizefighter preparing for a nighttime bout to the evolution of humankind. These male melodramas center on sociality and asociality. They feature male doubles, pairs, and rivals. They explore the romance of men and their machines, and men as machines. They figure intensely conflicted forms of male sexual desire. And they are also very much about male manners, style, taste, and art. 
 
 
 
Examining the formal, thematic, and theoretical affiliations between Kubrick's three bodies of work, Kubrick's Men offers new vantages on to the question of gender and sexuality, including the first extended treatment of homosexuality in Kubrick's male-oriented work. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.

Herbert Simms - An Architect for...

Lindie Naughton

Dublin's teeming slums, long regarded as the worst in Europe, were teetering on the brink of structural and sanitary public catastrophe during the early twentieth century. To tackle the crisis, Herbert Simms was appointed the city's first housing architect. During a sixteen-year period, from 1932 until 1948, Simms and his team planned, commissioned and built an astounding 17,000 homes –some as inner-city flat complexes, others as family houses in newly-created suburbs such as Crumlin and Cabra.
Like the city's acclaimed Georgian squares, the Simms-designed Corporation flats in particular have stood the test of time, injecting a touch of art deco and modernist glamour to neglected neighbourhoods. This comprehensive guide to the Simms buildings also highlights the many struggles with politicians and bureaucrats Simms and his staff experienced as they did their best to build well-designed, affordable housing for the people of Dublin.

Help Yourself - The Surface

Girts Bariss

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Help Yourself – The Surface is a roadmap for creators who refuse to fade into the noise. Life’s rhythm can feel relentless—rules, expectations, and judgment beating down until your inner music goes silent. But what if you could turn that chaos into sound? What if every scar became a note in your comeback song?
This book is my story of doing exactly that—rewriting pain into purpose through music. From a five-year-old on a piano bench in Latvia’s Song and Dance Festival, surrounded by 12,000 voices, to dark nights in underground clubs where raw riffs became lifelines. Each chapter reveals how rhythm, resilience, and creativity can pull you from collapse to clarity.
Like The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron and Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert, this book helps you unlock your creative pulse and reconnect with your power. It’s a guide for dreamers, rebels, and Gen Z creators searching for a sense of meaning in a world that moves too fast.
You’ll learn to find your “reset word”—mine is music—to anchor yourself through struggle. You’ll see how small wins, like in Atomic Habits, build unstoppable momentum. You’ll face fear and resistance like in The War of Art, and find freedom through vulnerability, echoing Daring Greatly.
From metal bands to Fruity Loops sessions, from trauma and betrayal to founding Fresh Music Frontier (FMF)—a platform born to lift artists—the journey shows that creation isn’t just expression; it’s survival.
Help Yourself – The Surface is a manifesto for anyone ready to turn pain into progress, noise into melody, and doubt into drive. If Man’s Search for Meaning taught us to find light in suffering, this book turns that light into sound.
Your life is a track in progress. It’s time to hit play.

All the Years Combine - The...

Ray Robertson

A Grateful Dead concert, Ray Robertson argues, is life. 
 
 
 
Like life, it can be alternately compelling and lackluster; familiar and foreign; occasionally sublime and sometimes insipid. Although the Grateful Dead stopped the day Jerry Garcia's heart did, what the band left behind is the next best thing to being there in the third row, courtesy of the group's unorthodox decision to record all of their concerts. Meaning that it's possible to follow the band's evolution (and devolution) through their shows, from the R&B-based garage band at the beginning, to the jazz-rock conjurers at their creative peak, to the lumbering monolith of their decline. 
 
 
 
In All the Years Combine: The Grateful Dead in Fifty Shows, Robertson listens to and writes ecstatically about fifty of the band's most important and memorable concerts in order to better understand who the Grateful Dead were, what they became, and what they meant—and what they continue to mean.
