Sinopse

In 'The Brother Avenged, and Other Ballads,' the collective of authors known simply as Various presents a tapestry of timeless narratives that resonate with the enduring human experience of justice, conflict, and emotional depth. Each ballad, meticulously preserved and presented by DigiCat Publishing, exudes the aesthetic qualities and rhythm inherent to the classic form, creating a compilation that both honors the tradition of oral storytelling and bridges the gap to modern literary sensibilities. The literary style seamlessly weaves archaic lyricism with contemporary clarity, ensuring that each ballad's essence remains intact within its new format. Set against the backdrop of literary history, these ballads stand as testament to the influence and longevity of the genre, offering a transcendent journey through tales that have shaped and been shaped by centuries of cultural discourse.

'DigiCat Publishing', though not an author per se, embodies the spirit of a curator or restorer, giving life to words that have been shared across generations. This painstaking reproduction is more than a nod to literary preservation; it represents a dedication to celebrating the works that have lent voice to our collective past. By choosing to resurrect 'The Brother Avenged, and Other Ballads,' DigiCat sheds light on the cultural and historical significance these stories possess, and the potential inspiration they may hold for contemporary readers looking to explore the roots of narrative tradition.

This edition is a compelling addition for anyone interested in the evolution of storytelling, the timelessness of human emotions, and the art of balladry. It will particularly appeal to those with a penchant for literary archaeology – unearthing and appreciating the beauty in narratives that have transcended time to speak to us today. Championing the cause of literary preservation, 'The Brother Avenged, and Other Ballads' stands as a meaningful endeavor, inviting readers to celebrate the legacy, engage with history, and indulge in the pure enjoyment of storytelling craftsmanship.

    Three plays from the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award–winning author of Glengarry Glen Ross and American Buffalo.  The Woods is a modern dramatic parable about, as Mamet put it, “why men and women have a hard time trying to get along with each other.” The story features a young man and woman spending a night in his family’s cabin where they experience passion, then disillusionment, but are in the end reconciled by mutual need.   In Lakeboat, an Ivy League college student takes a summer job as a cook aboard a Great Lakes cargo ship where the crewmembers—men of all ages—share their wild fantasies about sex, gambling, and violence. Mamet also wrote the screenplay to the 2000 film starring Peter Falk and Denis Leary.   In Edmond, a white-collar New York City man is set morally adrift after a visit to a fortune-teller. He soon leaves an unfulfilling marriage to find sex, adventure, companionship, and, ultimately, the meaning of his existence. Mamet also wrote the screenplay for the 2005 film starring William H. Macy.   “[A] beautifully conceived love story.” —Chicago Daily News on The Woods   “[Mamet’s] language has never been so precise, pure, and affecting.” —Richard Eder of The New York Times on The Woods   “Richly overheard talk and loopy, funny construction.” —Michael Feingold in The Village Voice on Lakeboat   “A riveting theatrical experience that illuminates the heart of darkness.” —Jack Kroll of Newsweek on Edmond

    An arresting and angry look at conflict and its effect on soldiers returning home - to a world they no longer know how to cope with, and a society that doesn't know how to cope with them.
    Carl doesn't fit in at home. He doesn't fit in anywhere. When he signs up for the Army, he sees it as a way out of his life in Blackpool. But the Army takes him to Afghanistan. And when he comes home, it's not as a war hero but as a changed man.
    Britannia Waves the Rules won a Judges' Award in the 2011 Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting. It premiered at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, in May 2014.
