Delphi Complete Works of William Cullen Bryant (Illustrated)

William Cullen Bryant

Sinossi

One of the most important writers of early literary America, William Cullen Bryant was one of the ‘fireside poets’, whose romantic verses were among the first to rival successfully the works of the British poets, both at home and abroad. Bryant’s poetry is learned, thoughtful and meditative in character, while accessible to the general reader. His work went on to inspire the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe and Walt Whitman. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting. For the first time in publishing history, this volume presents Bryant’s complete works, with related illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

Satan's Diary

Steven Darrell Bates

I’m the only one to have walked the cobblestones of the Most High. I’m the only one to have seduced a woman and made her walk away from everything she loved and cherished. I’m the only one who can convince a person steadfast in their faith, to throw it all away for riches beyond their wildest dreams. 
My lust for power is unquenchable, and I will use every trick at my disposal to gain an advantage. Even if it means destroying a church leader and his family with delectable treats full of envy, pride, greed, and lust.

Ross (NHB Modern Plays)

Terence Rattigan

Terence Rattigan's epic and probing drama about the man immortalised as Lawrence of Arabia.
Arrogant, flippant, withdrawn and with a talent for self-concealment, the mysterious Aircraftman Ross seems an odd recruit for the Royal Air Force. In fact the truth is even stranger than the man himself.
Behind the false name is an enigma, a man named Lawrence who started as a civilian in the Map Office in 1914 and went on to mastermind some of the most audacious military victories in the history of the British Army. These victories earned him an enduring and romantic nom de guerre: Lawrence of Arabia.
Rattigan's 1960 play reveals the unusual and deeply conflicted Englishman behind the heroic legend. This edition, with an Introduction by Dan Rebellato, was published alongside the revival at the Chichester Festival Theatre in 2016, directed by Adrian Noble and starring Joseph Fiennes as Ross.

A Midsummer Night's Dream

William Shakespeare

A Midsummer Night’s Dream must be one of the most enduringly popular of Shakespeare’s plays, and it is not difficult to see why: the work blends several kinds of comedy with a powerful atmosphere of magic and mystery and a satisfying set of contrasts – between city and country, reason and imagination, love and infatuation.
