Summary

Step into the world of Joseph Conrad's storytelling as you embark on a journey through three enthralling plays that will leave you spellbound. In 'Laughing Anne', set in the 1880s, Captain Davidson's life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters the enchanting singer, Laughing Anne. As their forbidden love blossoms amidst a backdrop of secrets and abuse, they face a heart-wrenching choice that will test the depths of their loyalty. Experience the power of unwavering hope in 'One Day More', where Captain Hagberd, a retired sailor, awaits the return of his long-lost son. Bound by a fractured past, Hagberd's conviction that they are merely one day away from reuniting drives him to create a home steeped in anticipation. And delve into the shadows of London in 'The Secret Agent', where Adolf Verloc, a secret agent and businessman, navigates a treacherous web of anarchist circles. As his actions intertwine with the lives of his wife, his mentally disabled brother-in-law, and a group of dangerous revolutionaries, a sinister plot unfolds. In this masterful trilogy, Conrad's prowess shines, immersing you in worlds of passion, longing, and the timeless struggle between love and duty.

    Do men need poems? 
     
    Is the gender of brawn and ‘can-do’ really a candidate for honeyed verse? 
     
    Obviously yes.  Through the centuries men seem to dominate the writing of poetry. From books of epics to quatrains of love poetry it seemed to be a man’s world.  His domain. 
     
    But take away the stirring deeds of adventure and much of what remains was written in the admiration or pursuit of women. 
     
    A volume purely for men, to show other facets of their personalities and characters seems to be an obvious choice.  One verse fits all is, in fact, far removed from the truth. 
     
    Men needs words. They need support, understanding as well as goals, ambition and structure.  They need purpose, desire; the need to love and be loved.

    William Cowper was an English poet and hymnodist. One of the most popular poets of his time, Cowper changed the direction of 18th century nature poetry by writing of everyday life and scenes of the English countryside. In many ways, he was one of the forerunners of Romantic poetry.His religious sentiment and association with John Newton (who wrote the hymn "Amazing Grace") led to much of the poetry for which he is best remembered. His poem "Light Shining out of Darkness" gave English the phrase: "God moves in a mysterious way/His wonders to perform." Wikipedia - Summary by Wikipedia
