Beschreibung

"Volpone: The Fox" is a satirical comedy by Ben Jonson. Volpone, a cunning and wealthy Venetian, pretends to be on his deathbed, enticing greedy acquaintances to offer him gifts in hopes of becoming his heir. Through this ruse, Volpone amasses wealth while toying with the aspirations of those around him. As the web of deception grows, absurd situations, mistaken identities, and comedic chaos ensue. Jonson's play critiques human greed and societal vices, exploring the consequences of unchecked ambition and the lengths people will go to attain material gain.

    This is a bilingual anthology of new writing from 13 women poets of Wales who suffer with pain and/or chronic illness and health conditions. The aim of the book is to bring about change in legislation, and a voice for the women of Wales and beyond, who are not given the autonomy and power of voice to speak up about their own bodies within the patriarchal healthcare system. The book will be distributed in GP surgeries and healthcare settings and is designed to open up conversations for the women and men that use them and work in them. The book is edited by Hanan Issa and Gwyneth Lewis. A powerful and unflinching collection of poems about living with long term health conditions.

    Northanger Abbey follows seventeen-year-old Gothic novel aficionado Catherine Morland and family friends Mr. and Mrs. Allen as they visit Bath. It is Catherine's first visit there. She meets new friends, such as Isabella Thorpe, and goes to balls. Catherine finds herself pursued by Isabella's brother, the rough-mannered, slovenly John Thorpe, and by her real love interest, Henry Tilney. She also becomes friends with Eleanor Tilney, Henry's younger sister. Henry captivates her with his view on novels and his knowledge of history and the world. General Tilney (Henry and Eleanor's father) invites Catherine to visit their estate, Northanger Abbey, which, from her reading of Ann Radcliffe's Gothic novel The Mysteries of Udolpho, she expects to be dark, ancient and full of Gothic horrors and fantastical mystery. - Summary by Wikipedia Narrators: Arie and Elizabeth KlettCatherine Morland: Woolly BeeHenry Tilney: Jason MillsIsabella Thorpe: Beth ThomasMrs. Allen: Michele EatonEleanor Tilney: Amanda FridayGeneral Tilney: Algy PugJohn Thorpe: Phil BensonJames Morland: BeniaminoMassimoMrs. Morland: FiddlesticksMr. Allen: Norman ElferMrs. Thorpe: Natalie PaulaMr. Morland: inflectedFootman: Glenn O'BrienCaptain Tilney: Ivory BallardSarah Morland: Frances BrownMrs. Hughes: Etel BussAnne Thorpe: thestorygirlMaria Thorpe: LydiaAudio edited by: Elizabeth Barr and Elizabeth Klett
