Synopsis

The Eclogues Virgil - Virgil's great lyrics, rendered by the acclaimed translator of GilgameshThe Eclogues of Virgil gave definitive form to the pastoral mode, and these magically beautiful poems, which were influential in so much subsequent literature, perhaps best exemplify what pastoral can do. "Song replying to song replying to song," touchingly comic, poignantly sad, sublimely joyful, the various music that these shepherds make echoes in scenes of repose and harmony, and of hardship and trouble in work and love.Available in ebook for the first time, this English-only edition of The Eclogues of Virgil includes concise, informative notes and an introduction that describes the fundamental role of this deeply original book in the pastoral tradition.

    Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers, 
          Ere the sorrow comes with years ? 
    They are leaning their young heads against their mothers, — 
          And that cannot stop their tears.

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
    But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
    In this volume we gather together those poets and their verse who celebrated the return of the Monarchy to the country after the volatile upheavals of the Puritan years.

    Collected here are three of Dorothy Parker's earliest works: two collections of poetry - "Enough Rope" and "Sunset Gun" as well as her short, hilarious collection of stories recounting all of the men she managed to avoid marrying named (appropriately) "Men I'm Not Married To." One of the 20th century's most celebrated and renowned humorists, Parker burst upon the unsuspecting literary world with these best-selling books, delivering biting, satiric and insightful comments on love, life and literature that would make her a worldwide sensation.Dorothy Parker - social commentator, political reformer and legendary wit - has enjoyed a special place in American culture and "Sunset Gun" is another early example of Parker's unique and wry commentary on modern life. It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.

    Ami’s dream is to make the world a better place. As a lover of nature and an adventurer, she is concerned about the environment and seeks to make it safer. 
    Unfortunately, she would realise that her friends—the various elements of nature, are in danger due to the behaviour of human beings. As a caring friend, she is willing to do her best to save them. 
    This book underscores the journey and adventures of Ami, starting from her desire to help Sun get its smile back, helping animals to survive, understanding the role of the Moon and the Earth, to taking actions to make the world a better and safer place.
