  15 Minutes Of Love Poems -...

  Love. What is love? 
   
  The question is asked by each of us but the answer remains elusive. 
   
  Dictionaries summon up many words but none fulfill. Love itself is often ethereal, felt but only seen in a glance, a look, a fleeting touch. Part of Love’s beauty is perhaps in the fact that the question never can be adequately answered; its ephemeral, a chimera of the heart and only felt. 
   
  Our own experiences are unique and personal to ourselves and of little help defining it for another. 
   
  Love is perhaps best expressed through poetry. As Plato said 2500 years ago “At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet”. Writing a love poem for ones’ partner is seen as the most romantic of gestures. It opens our hearts to another's. Lovers love. 
   
  Here, in this volume history’s greatest poets convey thoughts, feelings and sentiments of love to you in quick (or bite-size) conversations of verse that can slip into your day and your partner's heart.

  Drama Classics: The World's Great Plays at a Great Little Price
  Maxim Gorky's magnificent response to Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, written in 1904, the year Chekhov died.
  Summerfolk is a play about the Russian bourgeois social class and the changes occurring around them in the middle of the first decade of the twentieth century. It is set in a world of 'false hopes and unfulfilled promises', where dachas have been subdivided into summer colonies and the newly rich idle away their time in unhappy romantic alliances. Gorky's characters are still dreaming of a better life, but they are increasingly aware of impending revolution.
  Gorky's play premiered in November 1904 at the Komissarzhevskaya Theatre in Saint Petersburg.
  This English version, in the Nick Hern Books Drama Classics series, is translated and introduced by Stephen Mulrine.

  The comedy is set in Athens and revolves around the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and his forthcoming marriage to Hippolyta. However, the play is not simply a love story. It is also a story about the clash between two different worlds: the world of the court and the world of the forest. In the Forest, we find Oberon and Titania, the King and Queen of the Fairies. This recording features Edit Nesbit's adaptation of the Shakespeare's comedy. Read in English, unabridged.
