Sinossi

In "Shakespeare and Music," Christopher Wilson embarks on a scholarly exploration of the intricate relationship between the Bard's work and the musical landscape of his time. The book delves into the myriad ways music enhances the emotional palette of Shakespeare's plays, offering a detailed examination of the specific songs, motifs, and musical references interwoven throughout his texts. With a rigorous literary style, Wilson contextualizes these elements within the broader cultural framework of the Elizabethan era, combining close textual analysis with historical insights to craft a compelling narrative that resonates with both scholars and enthusiasts of Shakespeare. Christopher Wilson, a distinguished scholar with a passion for Shakespearean studies, brings a wealth of knowledge to this work. His extensive training in both literature and musicology has equipped him with a unique perspective, allowing him to interpret Shakespeare's plays through the lens of musical theory and historical context. Wilson's previous works have established him as a leading voice in Shakespearean criticism, and his expertise unearths deeper layers of meaning that are often overlooked in standard literary analyses. This book is highly recommended for students, theatre practitioners, and those interested in the interplay of literature and music. Wilson's insightful observations illuminate the transformative power of music in Shakespeare's work, encouraging readers to revisit the plays with new ears and freshly awakened sensibilities.

So You Need to Decide

Beth Lapides

How many decisions do you make each day? Ten? Twenty? Fifty? How often do you think about the way each of those little and not-so-little decisions reverberate through your life? And how often do you regret a choice you made and wish you could simply choose again?

“One of the better audio-comedy productions in recent memory … the project is a collection of probing interviews in their original audio, so none of the intensity or intimacy is lost in a translation to print.”—Vulture.

Hailed by the Los Angeles Times as the “godmother of alternative comedy,” Beth Lapides, creator of LA’s long-running UnCabaret, delivers a funny and heartfelt meditation on the power of decisions, the place for regret, and the space for grace in the Recorded Books Original So You Need to Decide.

This series of intimate conversations with a diverse group of comedians, writers, and cultural icons revolves around five universal experiences: family, work, love, moving, and spirituality. The decisions that come through in each of these moments are not about the rigidity of control, it’s about the fluidity of dancing with the chaos. Lapides invites us to join her and her friends in reflecting on how each decision changes us, altering our path and creating a wholly new journey.

Featuring original interviews with Margaret Cho, Isaac Mizrahi, Bob Odenkirk, Phoebe Bridgers, Baron Vaughn, Aparna Nancherla, Merrill Markoe, and Josh Gondelman, and with research assistance by Mathew Klickstein, So You Need to Decide ultimately challenges the listener to choose how they want to live—bigger or smaller, with artifice or authenticity. Would you rather plumb the depths or float near the surface?

That’s a decision only you can make.

Vijayanagara Empire - Hampi's...

Rolf Hedger

The Vijayanagara Empire emerged as one of the most significant and powerful dynasties in Indian history, rising at a time when the Indian subcontinent was fragmented and facing threats from expanding Islamic sultanates. Its foundation in the 14th century was a turning point that not only established a strong Hindu kingdom in southern India but also laid the groundwork for a cultural and economic renaissance.
The origins of Vijayanagara trace back to the political instability of the Deccan region. The Delhi Sultanate had extended its influence into the south, leading to the weakening of older Hindu kingdoms such as the Kakatiyas, Hoysalas, and Pandyas. Amid this turmoil, two brothers, Harihara and Bukka, originally serving under the Kakatiya rulers, rose to prominence. After being captured and later released by the Delhi Sultanate, they sought guidance from the sage Vidyaranya, who inspired them to establish a strong Hindu kingdom to resist further invasions. In 1336, they founded the city of Vijayanagara on the banks of the Tungabhadra River, marking the birth of the empire.
From its inception, the Vijayanagara Empire was strategically positioned to thrive. The Tungabhadra River provided a natural defensive barrier, while the rocky terrain of Hampi served as a formidable protection against enemy invasions. The early rulers focused on consolidating power, expanding their territories, and strengthening their military capabilities. Under Harihara I, the empire extended its control over parts of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, securing key trade routes and fortifying its defenses.
