Sinopse

The Complete Plays of Oscar Wilde presents a compendium of Wilde's theatrical works, showcasing his signature wit, epigrammatic style, and profound social commentary. Spanning a range of themes from the trivial to the deeply philosophical, Wilde's plays, including 'The Importance of Being Earnest' and 'An Ideal Husband', unravel the complexities of human relationships and societal norms with a dazzling mix of humor and critique. The intricate characters and clever dialogues reflect the late Victorian preoccupation with morality and identity, deftly challenging the expectations of the era while engaging audiences with their timeless relevance and charm. Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was a flamboyant and influential figure in the literary world, celebrated not only for his plays but also for his poetry and prose. A leading proponent of the Aesthetic Movement, Wilde embraced art for art's sake, allowing his personal experiences and views on society to shape his work. His notorious trial and imprisonment for 'gross indecency' served as a catalyst for his later writings, infusing them with themes of repression, identity, and the human condition. This anthology is an essential addition to the library of any literary enthusiast. Wilde's plays offer brilliant insights into the societal dynamics of his time, and their innovative structure and engaging narratives continue to resonate today. Readers are sure to find themselves immersed in Wilde's world, enriched by his unparalleled eloquence and incisive wit.

    Publisher’s Note:Two years ago, when we published Pranab Raha’s collection of essays ‘Akopat’, we promised the readers that we will bring more of his works in the future. Hence, we are pleased to bring you his second published audiobook ‘Charminar’.‘Charminar’ is a collection of four short and long stories by the author that are basically satirical in nature.In this book, he has brought out the subtle aspects of human character in a humorous approach. Like all his writings, these stories too, have an unspoken hidden message, that a sophisticated reader would have no difficulty in grasping.We hope that ‘Charminar’, like the author’s first book ‘Akopat’ published by us will be well received by the readers.Author’s Note:The intersection of time and technology has brought about some changes in the way people consume literature. Recognizing this change, I have published an audiobook of four stories, embracing this transformation.However, for enthusiastic readers, the printed hard copy of the book will also be made available very soon.Since the four stories are narrated by four different narrators in distinct styles, the stories do not possess the same qualities in all aspects.Nevertheless, if the stories provide an enjoyable listening experience, then the efforts and contributions of those involved in this endeavour, although somewhat limited, will be worthwhile.

    The life and career of a Poet is often thought of as musing at a desk, or lying in a meadow, or on long journeys to find inspiration for their next masterwork.  But more often than not a poet was a part-time profession in subservient submission to their actual, salary-paying job.   
    In this volume we bring together those professionals we engage to bring the full force of the law to bear where we have been wronged, either personally or professionally.  Despite the complex morals of such work their verse sparkles with knowing and humane wisdom.

    When is vengeance justified? And to what extent? 
    Adolf, an artist, is having martial problems with his independent wife Tekla. Meanwhile, Gustav, his friend, attempts to get Adolf to stand up for himself and "be the man of the house." But behind all of this superficial talk is a psychological war being waged on three fronts, and each party will do nearly anything to get their desires met. The only question now, is who will be the first to fall.... 
    Join me in experiencing the first of many plays by August Strindberg this season, where we'll be exposed to various forms of existentialism, interpersonal dynamics, and the struggle for power amidst some light-hearted satire by Guy Wetmore Carryl. But for now, please, sit back, relax, and enjoy, "The Creditors."

    John Clare was born on 13th July, 1793 in Helpston, a few miles north of Peterborough. 
    Schooled only until the age of 12 his early career was that of agricultural labourer, pot boy, gardener and lime burner.  His early life of hardship and frequent malnutrition led to his diminutive stature of five feet and contributed to his later health problems. 
    In 1820 his first poems were published and began to earn him a reputation as the “Northamptonshire Peasant Poet”. 
    His poetry sold well but only occasionally did that and other incomes keep his head above water.  Married with seven children the burden was huge and demanding.  Frequently penniless his health began to dissolve. 
    He last published in 1835 and by 1837 with his drinking out of control and his mental state shredded he entered a mental institution.  He was to reside in such unhappy places until his death. 
    He died aged 71 on 20th May 1864. His remains were returned to Helpston for burial in St Botolph’s churchyard. 
    Today he is considered one of the greatest of English poets.  His lyrical works on nature and the countryside earn him this just praise. 
    This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.
