Wuthering Heights

Emily Brontë

Casa editrice: AB Books

Sinossi

Wuthering Heights is Emily Brontë's only novel. It was first published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, and a posthumous second edition was edited by her sister Charlotte. The name of the novel comes from the Yorkshire manor on the moors on which the story centres (as an adjective, wuthering is a Yorkshire word referring to turbulent weather). The narrative tells the tale of the all-encompassing and passionate, yet thwarted, love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and many around them.

Interruptions (NHB Modern Plays)

Stephen Jeffreys

Interruptions is inspired by Stephen Jeffreys' interest in the collective aspect of politics and his fascination with the Japanese aesthetic principle of Jo-ha-kyu. The play was first performed at UC Davis, California, in 2001.
'I had the great pleasure of working with Stephen Jeffreys on his play, The Libertine. Would that all playwrights had his openness, his talent, his hard-headedness, his experience, his enthusiasm, his complexity, and perhaps best of all his talent and interest in eliciting the best in others' - John Malkovich
'Stephen's plays always bear the kitemark of unique, handcrafted quality' - Ian Rickson

Dancing With Baptists - They...

Ken Bailey

Set in the turbulent sixties of Vietnam, the Summer of Love, Watts riot, and the Beatles, Dancing with Baptists is the story of Greg Henderson, Jr., a young Air Force surgical tech. When Greg makes a promise to Chap, his dying Black chaplain friend, to get Chap’s book, an unflattering history of Southern Baptists and African Americans, published, all hell breaks loose. Greg returns to Houston, his Baptist roots, and Melinda, his very Baptist high school sweetheart, with the challenge to keep a promise that could cost him everything and critically wound the church of his youth. The dance begins.

Look We Have Coming to Dover!

Daljit Nagra

Look We Have Coming to Dover! is the most acclaimed debut collection of poetry published in recent years, as well as one of the most relevant and accessible. Nagra, whose own parents came to England from the Punjab in the 1950s, draws on both English and Indian-English traditions to tell stories of alienation, assimilation, aspiration and love, from a stowaway's first footprint on Dover Beach to the disenchantment of subsequent generations.
