Summary

When We Dead Awaken by Henrik Ibsen is a deeply introspective and profound play that delves into themes of artistic crisis, human mortality, and the search for meaning in life. Written in a poetic and symbolic style, the play reflects the late 19th-century literary context of European modernism. Ibsen's use of vivid imagery and complex characters creates a haunting and thought-provoking experience for the reader. The exploration of the protagonist's inner turmoil and existential questions adds a layer of depth to the narrative. Overall, When We Dead Awaken is a compelling work of literature that challenges the reader to reflect on the nature of existence and the pursuit of true self-discovery.

    A Doll's House, written two years after The Pillars of Society, was the first of Ibsen's plays to create a sensation and is now perhaps his most famous play, and required reading in many secondary schools and universities. The play was highly controversial when first published, as it is sharply critical of 19th Century marriage norms. It follows the formula of well-made play up until the final act, when it breaks convention by ending with a discussion, not an unravelling. It is often called the first true feminist play, although Ibsen denied this. From Wikipedia

    Pillars of Society was Ibsen's first successful realist drama, first performed in 1877. Karsten Bernick is the dominant businessman in a small coastal town in Norway, with interests in shipping and shipbuilding in a long-established family firm. Now he is planning his most ambitious project yet, backing a railway which will connect the town to the main line and open a fertile valley which he has been secretly buying up. Suddenly his past explodes on him with the arrival of Lona Hessel, the woman he once jilted, and Johan Tonnesen, who left town in disgrace fifteen years earlier. - Summary by Wikipedia and Elizabeth KlettKrap: Rob BoardAune: alanmapstoneRorlund: ToddMrs. Rummel: Kathy WrightMrs. Holt: AvailleMrs. Bernick: Beth ThomasDina Dorf: Kristin GjerløwMartha Bernick: DigsHilmar Tonnesen: Algy PugOlaf Bernick: Tricia GMrs. Lynge: LydiaKarsten Bernick: Bruce PirieVigeland: HamletRummel: Larry WilsonSandstad: David OlsonLona Hessel: Elizabeth KlettJohan Tonnesen: mbNarrator: April Waltersaudio edited by Elizabeth Klett

    Metamorphosis explores generational trauma, heartbreak, shadow work, and ultimately coming to truth, self-love, and wholeness. 
Metamorphosis is divided into three chapters, each diving deeper into a different phase of the metamorphosis. As you listen, you will go through the journey of healing with me—bearing witness to my state of mind, thoughts, and feelings.

    Eddie and Alan is a novel that follows two men who reflect on the end of their three-year relationship. They come from different walks of life; Eddie is a black queer man, and Alan is a cis white, mostly straight man. They were introduced to each other at work and quickly connected. Eddie and Alan’s friendship morphed into something more intimate, coming to a head during their four-day beach vacation. At its heart, this story seeks to shed light on the complexities of relationships between men, the fluidity of sexuality, and what happens when the lines are blurred.

    In England summer evenings remind us of the falling of the light, of village greens and the thump of willow on leather.  In winter, evenings are dark, unlit and a time to be inside. 
The evening light, of twilight, of sunset, has another name in the movie business. They call it ‘magic hour’ and sometimes it is just that. The heavy, golden light suffuses everything with a glow and fullness that gladdens our hearts and delights our eyes. 
For our poets this was a time of mystery and wonder; between the bright day and the canopy of stars that heralded sleep. 
 This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.

    In the land of Taletha, the Wife Market is the prime place for young lords to find a spouse...but not the place for love. Something Inara knows all too well. After six years of rejection, she has no hope of being chosen for anything but a plaything. 
When the future ruler of Taletha arrives at the Market, Inara is chosen. More shocking still, Dhamar is exactly what he appears to be: kind, gentle, and willing to build a relationship of mutual respect and trust. 
Yet Dhamar has his own demons to fight. With a tyrannical father pushing for war with the Šerians, a scheming council, and the burden to protect those he loves, Dhamar is stretched thin. He wants to be a good husband to his wife, but how? 
Thrown together by chance, will breaking down their walls reveal something beautiful, or leave only shattered pieces behind?
