Full-Cast Audiobook! Go Beyond Your Wettest Dreams... as If You Are Penniless and Yet Listening From Outside the Globe Theater! In the last decade of the 16th century, William Shakespeare could not dare write A Midsummer Night's (Wet) Dream unabridged. By the happenchance of his birth-century, The Bard wrote in a poetic 'Shakespearean Code', hinting at sexualities and paraphilias he fully intended to compose and expose his Elizabethan audience to. His intended 'erotica for every fetish' morphed instead into a 'humane and wise drama' by happenchance. But What If? there was a multiversal reality where the Marquis de Sade deciphered the Shakespearean Code during his long stay at the lunatic asylum at Charenton. But now Ophelia T'Wat, living in a much more sexually accepting century, can reach across realities to snatch these pages from the bloody quill of the Marquis and finally, fatefully publish the Wettest Midsummer Night'sDream conceivable!Voir livre

The Happy Family (1848): The largest green leaf in this country is certainly the burdock-leaf. If you hold it in front of you, it is large enough for an apron; and if you hold it over your head, it is almost as good as an umbrella, it is so wonderfully large. A burdock never grows alone; where it grows, there are many more, and it is a splendid sight; and all this splendor is good for snails. The great white snails, which grand people in olden times used to have made into fricassees; and when they had eaten them, they would say, "O, what a delicious dish!" for these people really thought them good; and these snails lived on burdock-leaves, and for them the burdock was planted...Voir livre
