Sinopsis

In "Domesday Book," Edgar Lee Masters offers a profound exploration of mortality, identity, and the human experience through a series of poignant poetic vignettes that weave together the lives of the fictional residents of a small Midwestern town. This collection, released in 1920, embodies Masters' signature style of free verse, characterized by its conversational tone and vivid imagery. Each poem serves as a microcosm of the human condition, reflecting the struggles, aspirations, and epiphanies that define the inhabitants' lives, thereby establishing a deep connection between individual stories and broader societal themes during the post-war era. Edgar Lee Masters, an American poet and biographer, is best known for his earlier work, "Spoon River Anthology," which revolutionized the genre by presenting the voices of the dead in a cemetery confessional. His experiences growing up in a small town and witnessing the complex tapestry of human relationships likely influenced his creative approach, culminating in "Domesday Book," which delves into the fondness and fragility of life amid the passage of time. This collection is highly recommended for readers seeking an introspective examination of personal and collective struggles within a societal framework. Masters' unique approach to storytelling through poetry not only captivates but also resonates deeply, making "Domesday Book" an essential read for anyone interested in the intersections of life, death, and the poet's craft.

    Ibsen's "A Doll's House," written two years after "The Pillars of Society," became a sensation and is now widely considered his most famous play. Required reading in many secondary schools and universities, the play was highly controversial upon its release due to its sharp criticism of 19th Century marriage norms. Despite following the structure of a traditional well-made play, the play breaks convention by ending with a discussion instead of an unraveling in its final act. Although Ibsen himself denied it, "A Doll's House" is often referred to as the first true feminist play.

    Coparenting is easy for Elias and Amanda. Having sex is even easier. When Amanda begins to feel the tether of their bond loosen, she prepares for things to change between her and her baby’s daddy, though her heart has always belonged to him. 
      
    For Elias, Amanda was too shallow to take seriously as a romantic partner. However, lust joined them for life because of their son. He’s sure they will always be friends and nothing more, until a failed romantic relationship shows him the woman that’s always been by his side—Amanda. 
      
    For Amanda, it has taken years to accept that she will never be Elias’s type. Though she’s matured over the years, he’s never been interested in getting to know the layers that have rippled beneath her surface—until a sure thing backfires in his face. 
      
    Now that Elias has Amanda in his vision, she’s finally detached from the thought of a relationship with him. Will her redemptive changes work in their romantic favor, or will she prove the adage of appreciating what you have when it’s gone?
