Sinopsis

In the unabridged edition of "Lamia," John Keats masterfully blends narrative and lyric poetry to explore themes of desire, illusion, and the nature of love. This narrative poem, inspired by classical mythology, intricately juxtaposes the enchanting beauty of Lamia, a serpent who transforms into a woman, against the harsh realities of human emotion and perception. Keats's rich imagery and sensuous language draw readers into a world where the boundaries between reality and dreams blur, reflecting the Romantic ideals of beauty and passion while also questioning the transient nature of love and the inevitability of disillusionment. John Keats, a central figure of the English Romantic movement, faced numerous personal tragedies, including the loss of loved ones and his own battle with illness, which shaped his worldview and artistry. His deep appreciation for nature and the human condition, combined with his classical influences, fueled the creation of "Lamia," encapsulating his struggle against the stark realities of life and the desire to find lasting beauty amidst suffering. Keats'Äôs poignant examination of love and longing reveals the complexities of human emotion in a way that continues to resonate with readers. This edition is essential for both scholars and enthusiasts of Romantic literature, offering a profound meditation on the intersections of love and reality. Readers interested in exploring the interplay of myth and personal experience, as well as the evocative musicality of Keats'Äôs verse, will find "Lamia" an enlightening and thought-provoking journey that invites reflection on the very essence of existence.

    The Busybody is the most popular comedy by the eighteenth-century playwright Susanna Centlivre. The play centres on two couples trying to form a relationship against the wills of their guardians, and in a battle of wits, playing with many conventions from theatre traditions across the continent, a conclusion is eventually reached.
    Like her predecessor Aphra Behn, Centlivre was immensely successful in her day, drawing huge crowds to extended runs of her numerous plays, but the stabbing male pens of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries decried her work as being louche and dangerous, and her name slowly sunk into obscurity.
    This edition, published with William Hazlitt's prefatory note and extra material on Centlivre's life and writing, seeks to highlight the dexterity with which she took on the stage.

Mother and daughter are in the Philippines with the rogue federal agent Brent Danes, the man who broke up Luke's engagement to Becca through a series of missteps and accidental encounters. 
    Are Brent and Becca now together, together, or are they just two friends with big troubles helping each other out? Maria arranges a missionary trip to Manila to give Luke cover to travel discreetly. Luke needs to find Becca without outing Danes' location to the authorities. 
    Luke's hunt for his ex-fiancée and possible daughter begin to merge with events of the missionary trip raising the stakes for several of the players. Can Luke stay out of the crosshairs of the feds looking to catch Danes, while at the same time not break Becca's rules that he must follow if he wants to meet his possible child? 
    Meanwhile, Brent Danes needs to walk the tightrope of working with a Russian operative who is his current benefactor, without being forced to work for him. 
    If you've read books one and two, The Timing of Maria and The Gone Side of the Fence, this third installment will bring the excitement and suspense to even greater levels. Valentyna: The Foreign Connection, is also a thrilling stand-alone book.
