Summary

Everyone has another face they hide behind…
A radical re-imagining by playwright Evan Placey of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale, where civilised society meets seedy Soho in a thrilling collision of Victorian England with the here and now.
Written for the National Youth Theatre, and first performed by the company at the Ambassadors Theatre in the West End in 2017, Jekyll & Hyde offers a full range of parts for schools and youth-theatre groups looking for a contemporary reinvention of a macabre classic.
Evan Placey's other plays include Consensual, Pronoun, Girls Like That (Best Play for Young Audiences at the Writers' Guild of Great Britain Awards), Mother of Him, Banana Boys and Holloway Jones.
Available since: 11/09/2017.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Sing, goddess, the wrath of Achilles. 
     
    For nine long years, the armies of Greece have besieged the walls of Troy. But when a bitter quarrel erupts between King Agamemnon and Achilles, the greatest of all warriors, rage threatens to destroy the Greeks from within. As Achilles withdraws from battle, the tide of war turns – and gods and mortals alike are drawn into a conflict where honor demands blood, and glory comes at a terrible price. 
     
    Homer's Iliad stands at the very beginning of Western literature: a monumental epic of war, pride, grief, and the fleeting nature of human life. From the duel of Paris and Menelaus to the death of Hector before the gates of Troy, its scenes have echoed through three millennia – and lost none of their power. 
     
    This audiobook presents Samuel Butler's celebrated prose translation, prized for its clarity and directness, which renders the ancient epic vivid and accessible to the modern listener. 
     
    A timeless story of anger and reconciliation, fate and free will – and of what it truly costs to be remembered forever.

    EMILY DICKINSON VS SARA TEASDALE...

    This is a tribute to the work of Emily Dickinson and Sara Teasdale, two of the greatest representatives of -female- American literature. 
    It is a carefully crafted selection of 150 poems, all of them 8 lines in length, which are presented face-to-face in pairs -one per author- and with matching themes. In this way, the reader can compare and enjoy the magic of these poets. 
    Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886) is, without a doubt, one of the most renowned representatives of American Classic Poetry. Her poems and unique writing style, although largely unknown before her passing, have had a remarkable influence on American literature. 
    Sara Teasdale (1884 – 1933), on the other hand, was favored with success and recognition for her writing, having won the first edition of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. Nevertheless, in more recent times she hasn’t enjoyed nearly as much recognition as Dickinson. 
    The 150 Poems in this collection are distributed in four themes:Of Love, Heartbreak and FaithOf Mother NatureOf Life and EmotionsOf Death 
    This is a wonderful gift for all poetry lovers, also available in paperback, hardcover, and e-book formats.

    Nature is the true goddess of life, She is the mother who brings the sun and moon, The one who decides if the wind blows or stands, Who brings the hurricanes to shore, The ground to a freeze, And the living to an end. It is by her mercy that we get to feel today, whether we'd wish to or not. The rainbow doesn't just come; its colors are created by the destruction of the storm.

    The Unrooted Bloom is a deeply personal poetry collection by Amber Allen-Peirson that explores themes of racial identity, belonging, and the complexities of navigating life as a biracial woman in a racially divided society. Through lyrical and evocative language, Amber’s writing captures the internal struggle of reconciling her Black and White heritage, often torn between two worlds that don’t fully accept her. Her style combines vivid imagery with raw emotional honesty, drawing the reader into her journey of self-discovery and the tension she feels between multiple identities. The collection also delves into the intricate dynamics of family, exploring how generational trauma, love, addiction, and complicated relationships have shaped her sense of self. Grief plays a central role in her work, reflecting the loss of loved ones, both through death and emotional distance, and how this grief intertwines with her search for identity. Amber’s resilience shines through, offering a powerful narrative on healing and the strength required to rebuild after hardship. The Unrooted Bloom is a profound exploration of what it means to exist in the space between, encouraging readers to embrace the complexities of their own identities while finding strength in their multifaceted selves.
