  Saki Saki

  The undisputed master of the short story, Saki's name is synonymous with brilliant writing that satirises Edwardian Society, and his plays were no exception. In his only full-length play, 'The Watched Pot', Trevor Bavvel, sole heir to a country estate, is in want of a wife, but must operate under the strict attention of his miserly mother Hortensia. 
  Although wildly neglected today, Saki's plays met with widespread acclaim in his day, and he was even compared favourably with the great Oscar Wilde. This complete edition of Saki's plays – the first complete edition ever published – demonstrates the great writer's prowess as a playwright, and sparkles with the same wit as the short stories that have enchanted generations of readers.

  TUPAC SHAKUR 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Tupac Shakur, also known as 2Pac and Makaveli, was a highly influential American rapper and actor. Born Lesane Parish Crooks, he adopted the name Tupac Amaru Shakur, after the Inca revolutionary. He is considered one of the greatest rappers of all time, known for addressing social injustice and political issues. Tupac's career included successful albums like 2Pacalypse Now, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z..., Me Against the World, and All Eyez on Me. He also engaged in a public feud with other rappers and had several legal issues. Tragically, he was murdered in a drive-by shooting in 1996. His legacy includes a large body of work, poetry, and activism. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Tupac Shakur's birth name was Lesane Parish Crooks, but he was renamed Tupac Amaru Shakur at age one. His name was inspired by Túpac Amaru II, a revolutionary descendant of the last Incan ruler. 
    
  Tupac's parents, Afeni Shakur and Billy Garland, were both active members of the Black Panther Party. His mother was tried as part of the Panther 21 criminal trial a month before his birth, but she was acquitted of over 150 charges. 
    
  Tupac's stepfather, Mutulu Shakur, was on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list for four years and was eventually convicted for a 1981 robbery of a Brinks armored truck. His godmother, Assata Shakur, was convicted of murder and is on the FBI Most Wanted Terrorists list after escaping prison. 
    
  Tupac's family moved to Baltimore, Maryland, in 1984, and the block where they lived was later renamed Tupac Shakur Way. While in Baltimore, he was a member of the Young Communist League.
