Summary

Shakespeare's absolute pre-eminence is simply unparalleled. His plays pack theatres and provide Hollywood with block-buster scripts; his works inspire mountains of scholarship and criticism every year. He has given us many of the very words we speak, and even some of the thoughts we think.

Nick Groom and Piero explore how Shakespeare became so famous and influential, and why he is still widely considered the greatest writer ever. They investigate how the Bard has been worshiped at different times and in different places, used and abused to cultural and political ends, and the roots of intense controversies which have surrounded his work. 


Much more than a biography or a guide to his plays and sonnets, Introducing Shakespeare is a tour through the world of Will and concludes that even after centuries, Shakespeare remains the battlefield on which our very comprehension of humanity is being fought out.
Available since: 01/01/2001.

    *When a new family moves in next door, best friends butt heads….* 
Best friends Lewis, the zombie villager, and Sebastian, are about to clash big time when a new family moves in next door to Sebastian. First, the buddies suspect that Mr. Moss, head of the family, *might have strange motivations to make the move.* 
What’s more, Mr. Moss has a son William that is Lewis and Sebastian’s age and loves all of the games and comics that the boys love as well. Thinking this is a great opportunity to befriend the new kid, Zombie Villager starts to think again when William starts giving him the cold shoulder – specifically, as Sebastian begins to hang out with the neighbor more. Why doesn’t William like Lewis so much? What are Mr. Moss’ motives anyway? Only time will tell when you read “Frienemies.” 
Kind in spirit, this tale will warm your heart and is an amazing read for the whole family. Although it is engaging and exciting, it also teaches a lesson about patience and kindness – the perfect pick for any Minecraft fan.

    Equal parts Lovecraftian horror story and defense of Lovecraft's own writing style and penchant for unutterable, unnamable, unthinkable monstrosities, this story tells the tale of a young writer attempting to convince his skeptical friend that there might actually be things in the world that are unnamable.
