Sinopse

Leo graf Tolstoy's 'Fruits of Culture' is a thought-provoking play that explores the dynamics of societal values and individual moral integrity. Written in Tolstoy's characteristic style of realism, the play presents a group of characters from different social backgrounds who are all gathered under one roof, leading to clashes of beliefs and ideologies. Through witty dialogues and intricate character development, Tolstoy offers a sharp critique of the hypocrisy and shallowness prevalent in society during the late 19th century. The play's exploration of complex moral dilemmas and ethical conundrums makes it a compelling read for those interested in philosophical literature. Tolstoy's skillful use of dramatic techniques and engaging storytelling captivate readers and invite them to reflect on their own values and beliefs. Leo graf Tolstoy, known for his iconic novels such as 'War and Peace' and 'Anna Karenina', showcases his deep understanding of human nature and societal structures in 'Fruits of Culture'. As a prominent figure in Russian literature, Tolstoy's works often reflect his own spiritual and philosophical beliefs, which are echoed in the themes of morality and authenticity present in this play. Tolstoy's commitment to depicting the complexities of human relationships and moral dilemmas shines through in 'Fruits of Culture', making it a compelling literary work that continues to resonate with readers today. I highly recommend 'Fruits of Culture' to readers who enjoy thought-provoking plays that delve into the depths of human nature and societal norms. Tolstoy's keen observations and timeless insights make this play a valuable addition to any literature enthusiast's collection, offering a profound exploration of the intricacies of moral choices and societal expectations.

    A “tough and honest” collection by one of America’s foremost poets of the combat experience—“A treasure of wonderful simplicity and complex beauty” (Clarence Major, author of Configurations).   With Song of Napalm, Bruce Weigl established himself as a poet of incomparable power and lyric fury, whose work stands as an elegy to the countless lives dramatically altered by war. Archeology of the Circle brings together the major work of this major American poet.   Collected here for the first time—from eight volumes of poetry spanning two decades—Archeology of the Circle charts Weigl’s literary arc toward a hard-bitten and sensuous lyric. Out of the horror of individual experience, he has fashioned poetry that offers solace to the disillusioned and bears transcendent resonance for all of us. Archeology of the Circle illustrates Bruce Weigl’s remarkable creative achievements and signifies his own personal salvation through his writing.   “Few poets of any generation have written so searingly into of the trauma of war, inscribing its wound while refusing the fragile suture of redemption. Here is the haunted utterance of diasporic selfhood, a poetry of aftermath and consequence, an answer to the call for an ethos of infinite obligation. In this, and in the breadth of his accomplishment, Bruce Weigl is one of the most important poets of our time.” —Carolyn Forch, author of The Country Between Us

    Lunar Honey is a collection of poetry about evolving. The book is divided into 3 sections with thematic waves of love in various forms, culminating in self-empowering truths. 
    In Lunar Honey, Holly Toomer highlights romance, authenticity, social disparity, resilience, spirituality and purpose. The poems in this book reflect how an infatuated and unhealthy love can almost be trance-like, so much so, that it is easy to understand how a person can lose theirself in another.  
    This book illustrates how spiritually healing, the rediscovery and search for knowledge of self can be. It also serves as a reminder that after heartbreak, you must remember what matters the most to you and if you can’t immediately find what that is, look inward. What are you made of?

    It introduces the first six books of the Bible through a combination of poetry, conversation and commentary. The poems are written in a variety of styles, from sonnet to Haiku, reflecting the variety of writing in the Bible, and simply to enjoy the art of poetry as one of God’s gifts to humankind.

    It's the hot, humid, sticky summer of 1977. At a popular birdwatching spot jutting out into the North Sea at the mouth of the Tees, Martin, Jack, Michael and Carol are staring out into the future, their lives intertwined.
    A friendship, a marriage, a holiday, and a death - the gatherings and departures that make us human. Robert Holman's richly resonant play is an uplifting portrait of human hope and vulnerability.
    German Skerries was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, and won the George Devine Award in the year that it is set. It was revived in 2016 at the Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond, in a co-production with the award-winning Up in Arms Theatre Company, followed by a tour around the UK.
