Sinopse

In "Poetry," George MacDonald delivers a profound exploration of the human experience, encapsulated through a tapestry of lyrical works that reflect both the beauty and complexity of existence. MacDonald's literary style harmonizes vivid imagery with deep emotional resonance, drawing upon themes of nature, spirituality, and the transformative power of love. Within the context of Victorian literature, this collection stands as a testament to MacDonald's mastery of verse, intricately weaving philosophical reflections into accessible poetry that speaks to the hearts of his readers. George MacDonald, a pivotal figure in the Scottish literary renaissance, was known not only as a poet but also as a novelist and theologian. His innovative approach to storytelling and his embrace of mystical themes were greatly influenced by his own struggles with faith and the human condition. MacDonald's conviction that literature can serve as a conduit for divine truth profoundly shaped the thematic elements of "Poetry," as he sought to connect the sacred with the everyday. This collection is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersection of beauty and philosophy. MacDonald's evocative language and heartfelt insights invite readers to reflect on their own experiences, making "Poetry" an essential addition to the canon of 19th-century literature that continues to resonate today.

    Bitter Punch is Loh Guan Liang’s second collection of poetry. With a wry eye for the everyday and its often forgotten characters, Loh explores what it means to live and love in the city. Even as it depicts the tension between ourselves and the spaces we inhabit, Bitter Punch still seeks sweetness in life’s hard, bitter moments. 
     
    "At the heart of Bitter Punch is the passing of love. Loh Guan Liang has constructed a personal map of elegiac half-escapes although his book is also a love letter to the enigmatic city that has been sustaining him. These poems will haunt you with its cool detachment, its overthinking, and its sombre rhythm in search of connection through words." 
    -Gwee Li Sui, poet and critic

    Before the Stage, There Was the Page: Discover Shakespeare the Poet.
    
    While the world knows William Shakespeare for his legendary plays, it was his sweeping narrative poems that first established him as a literary titan in the eyes of the Elizabethan elite. This collection brings together his longer, epic-style works—masterpieces of desire, betrayal, and political ruin that showcase a level of linguistic ornament and psychological intensity rarely seen on the stage.
    
    This collection explores the pillars of Shakespeare's poetic genius:
    
    The Master of Classical Adaptation: Witness the Bard reimagining the myths of ancient Rome and Greece, breathing fresh, visceral life into tales of tragic desire and legendary honor.
    
    The Psychology of the Verse: Experience the internal monologues of characters caught in moments of extreme crisis, rendered with the same complexity found in his greatest dramatic soliloquies.
    
    Formal Perfection: Explore his command of demanding poetic structures, from the flowing "Sesta Rima" to the stately "Rhyme Royal," demonstrating a technical virtuosity that defined the English Renaissance.
    
    Themes of Power and Virtue: Delve into narratives that examine the corruption of authority and the resilience of the human spirit, serving as a poetic mirror to the political tensions of his time.
    
    Shakespeare's epic poems offer a richer, more descriptive immersion into his world than his scripts alone. They are essential for anyone seeking the full breadth of his literary legacy and linguistic beauty.
    
    Experience the Bard's most intimate and ornate creations. Buy "The Epic Poems of William Shakespeare" today and complete your library of the world's greatest writer.

    Prime Minister Robert Saleh feels helpless as his economy stagnates year after year. When a representative of the shadowy organization known as Armageddon offers funding for several national-level infrastructure projects, he can’t resist signing an overly expansive contract. News of this secret agreement, which includes a level of mercenary support for national security, sparks international concern. 
    Saleh hopes to play Armageddon’s investments against those of Australia and the United States, who’d focused their interest and resources elsewhere. Unfortunately, the cash flowing into Saleh’s pockets blinds him to the devastating consequences he’d unilaterally set in motion. 
    Gar Randolph and his ever-changing team of technical experts receive the call to keep an eye on things. “Remain unseen and unnoticed. More importantly, neutralize anything that isn’t in the best interest of the Saintly Islands.”   
    Events escalate until Gar takes decisive action.
