Synopsis

In 'The Little French Lawyer,' readers are transported into a tumultuous tapestry of legal drama, romantic entanglements, and moral questioning, rich with the wit and depth characteristic of early 17th-century playwrights. This anthology, embracing both a concise narrative structure and a distinctly comedic lens, showcases a plenitude of emotional themes—ranging from justice and honor to love and folly.

This anthology is a compelling resource for readers seeking to engage with the rich tapestry of cultural and literary motifs descriptive of the Jacobean period. 'The Little French Lawyer' is not just a collection but an invitation to experience a confluence of diverse narratives and styles, delivering an educational and aesthetic expedition through the multifaceted landscapes crafted by Beaumont and Fletcher.

    The Glugs of Gosh is a book of satirical verse written by Australian author C. J. Dennis, published by Angus & Robertson in 1917. The book's 13 poems are vignettes of life in a fictional kingdom called Gosh, inhabited by an arboreal race (that is to say, climbers) known as Glugs. Dennis describes the Glugs as a "stupid race of docile folk". Written in the style of children's nonsense poetry, the work attacks free trade, along with what Dennis saw as Australia's social conformity, intellectual cowardice and rampant bureaucracy.

    I Remember is a book of poetry inspired while traveling, spending time in nature and from my life's experiences. As a multiracial man in America, I feel I was given the opportunity to experience discrimination and prejudice from people of all walks of life. To learn I needed to love to accept myself first so I can witness firsthand society's most crucial issues of division and polarity. From the systemic illusion of separation from nature and humankind as a whole, due to the fact that most of us have yet to remember who we really are. Although the media is persistently promoting fear and division. The intention of this book is to share a sense of awareness of who we are beyond the body while inspiring the reader to love and have compassion for themselves and others at a greater capacity. Regardless of what one may have learned from their parents, culture, media, movies etc. I Remember is resurfacing to remind the masses we are all equal expressions of the Divine and now have a role to play in co-creating “The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible.”
