Sinopse

The Elizabethan writer John Lyly is regarded as the first prose stylist to leave an enduring impression upon the English language. His prose romance concerning the misadventures of Euphues, regarded by some as the first novel of English literature, launched his literary career in 1580’s London. Lyly’s interest with the exact arrangement and selection of words, his frequent use of classical similes and his artificial, yet elegant prose established the ‘euphuism’ style. In his work as a playwright, he contributed significantly to the development of prose dialogue in English drama. His comedies mark an advance upon those of his predecessors, with tales drawn from classical mythology, complemented with witty dialogue and skillful plot development. This eBook presents Lyly’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts appearing in digital print for the first time, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

    In Black Rhythms, Sacred Voices, M.A. Tucker weaves a powerful tapestry of poetry that echoes with the soul of Black history, struggle, and triumph. These verses pulse with the rhythms of survival, the melodies of resistance, and the sacred voices that refuse to be silenced. 
    From the weight of ancestry to the fire of revolution, from love's quiet sanctuary to the echoes of the unspoken, this collection captures the raw beauty and unbreakable spirit of Blackness. Each poem is a hymn to those who came before us, a reckoning with the present, and a declaration of a future where our voices rise, untamed and free. A lyrical sanctuary for those who have ever felt unseen, unheard, or unheld. 
    For the ancestors. For the dreamers. For us.

    The Tragedy of Julius Caesar is a history play and tragedy by William Shakespeare first performed in 1599. It is one of several plays written by Shakespeare based on true events from Roman history, such as Coriolanus and Antony and Cleopatra.
    Set in Rome in 44 BC, the play depicts the moral dilemma of Brutus as he joins a conspiracy led by Cassius to murder Julius Caesar to prevent him from becoming dictator of Rome. Following Caesar's death, Rome is thrust into a period of civil war, and the republic the conspirators sought to preserve is lost forever.
    Although the play is named Julius Caesar, Brutus speaks more than four times as many lines as the title character; and the central psychological drama of the play focuses on Brutus' struggle between the conflicting demands of honour, patriotism, and friendship. 
    Among the most significant works William Shakespeare: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, Orpheus, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Troilus and Cressida, The Tempest, Venus and Adonis, Antony and Cleopatra, Measure for Measure, The Winter's Tale and many more.

However, against the simplicity of communal gatherings and the warmth of familial bonds, the worries that once seemed insurmountable begin to fade. And through the lens of Easter's promise of renewal, Strindberg suggests that life's burdens may be lighter than they appear, offering a glimpse of hope amidst the chaos of everyday existence.
