Summary

As a short story collection, this book explores the meaning of life - success and failure, and how they interrelate. People often misplace priority over the two. 
This book contains tales of how people go through the webs of life, exploring human experiences with art. 
Love is also depicted in some chapters. Love is complex: agonizing, ecstatic, unpredictable, and trying, and serene. 
Fiction is also used, but more to induce introspection than to entertain.
Available since: 12/21/2023.
Print length: 15 pages.

    What happened to the insolence of the 18th-century libertines or to the carefree excesses of the Belle Époque and its legalized brothels? They have merely been inhibited and buried by the nowadays political correctness and the aggressive one-eyed morality.
This book disregards conventional thinking and presents 800 reproductions that illustrate erotic art from Ancient Greece down to the present era in both Europe and Asia: when reproduction is not seen as an end in itself. With no hesitation nor inhibition, the author explains why erotic art is a key factor of societal development.

    Follow acclaimed theatre director Carrie Cracknell throughout preparation and rehearsals for her production of Sophocles' Electra at the Gate Theatre, London, translated by Nick Payne and praised by the Evening Standard as an 'urgent new version'.

With unprecedented access to the rehearsal room, the book outlines exactly what it takes to get a play from the page to the stage, from first concept to first night.

    The Taming of the Shrew is one of Shakespeare's earliest comedies, and was inspired by classical Roman comedy and the Italian commedia dell'arte.  Baptista Minola, a rich gentleman of Padua, has two daughters: Katherina, renowned for her sharp tongue, and Bianca, who is sought after by multiple suitors.  Baptista decides that Bianca cannot marry until her elder sister finds a husband.  Enter Petruchio, who has come to "wive it wealthily in Padua," and who is convinced by Bianca's suitors to woo Katherina.  The play ultimately poses the question of who is the bigger shrew: Kate or Petruchio.  The subplot involves the subterfuge employed by Lucentio to woo the lovely Bianca.
