Summary

In 'The Admirable Bashville; Or, Constancy Unrewarded' by Bernard Shaw, the reader is taken on a satirical journey through the world of English society in the late 19th century. Shaw's witty writing style and clever social commentary shines through as he explores themes of love, loyalty, and the class divide. The play within the book showcases Shaw's talent for humor and ironic storytelling, making it a classic piece of literature that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. Set against the backdrop of the rich versus poor dynamic, Shaw cleverly uses his characters to highlight the absurdity of societal norms and expectations. The dialogue is sharp and the characters are vividly depicted, making this a gripping read for anyone interested in English literature and social critique. As a prolific playwright and critic, Bernard Shaw was known for pushing boundaries and challenging societal norms. His sharp wit and keen observations of human behavior are evident in 'The Admirable Bashville', where he uses the play to dismantle the conventions of his time and shed light on the complexities of human relationships. Shaw's commitment to social reform and his unapologetic writing style have cemented his place in the canon of English literature, making 'The Admirable Bashville' a must-read for fans of his work. I highly recommend 'The Admirable Bashville; Or, Constancy Unrewarded' to readers who enjoy thought-provoking plays that explore the nuances of class and society. Shaw's sharp wit and keen insight make this a compelling read for anyone interested in literature that challenges the status quo and invites readers to think critically about the world around them.

    A fascinating glimpse into the mind of an ultramarathon runner and the inspirational saga of his run across America.The ultimate endurance athlete, Marshall Ulrich has run more than one hundred foot races averaging over one hundred miles each, completed twelve expedition-length adventure races, and ascended the seven summits—including Mount Everest. Yet his run from California to New York—the equivalent of running two marathons and a 10k every day for nearly two months straight—proved to be his most challenging effort yet. In Running on Empty he shares the gritty backstory of his run and the excruciating punishments he endured on the road. Ulrich also reaches back nearly thirty years to when the death of his first wife drove him to run from his pain.Ulrich's memoir imbues an incredible listen with a universal message for athletes and nonathletes alike: face the toughest challenges, overcome debilitating setbacks, and find deep fulfillment in something greater than achievement.

Days of Heaven is full of hilarious accounts of how the Irish abandoned reality in that glorious time called Italia 90.
