Sinossi

King Lear by William Shakespeare King Lear is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. It is based on the mythological Leir of Britain. King Lear relinquishes his power and land to two of his daughters. He becomes destitute and insane and a proscribed crux of political machinations.

The first known performance of any version of Shakespeare's play was on St. Stephen's Day in 1606. The three extant publications from which modern editors derive their texts are the 1608 quarto (Q1) and the 1619 quarto (Q2, unofficial and based on Q1) and the 1623 First Folio. The quarto versions differ significantly from the folio version.

The play was often revised after the English Restoration for audiences who disliked its dark and depressing tone, but since the 19th century Shakespeare's original play has been regarded as one of his supreme achievements.

Both the title role and the supporting roles have been coveted by accomplished actors, and the play has been widely adapted.

King Lear of Britain, elderly and wanting to retire from the duties of the monarchy, decides to divide his realm among his three daughters, and declares he will offer the largest share to the one who loves him most. The eldest, Goneril, speaks first, declaring her love for her father in fulsome terms. Moved by her flattery, Lear proceeds to grant to Goneril her share as soon as she has finished her declaration, before Regan and Cordelia have a chance to speak.

Back to Me - The Global Art of...

Anonimo

Back to Me: The Global Art of Talking Without Listening is a sharp, funny, and globally informed exploration of how modern conversation has drifted into chaos. Quentin Drummond Anderson examines why, in a world louder than ever, silence has become the rarest sound — and listening an endangered skill. Drawing on a lifetime of cross-cultural experience, he takes readers from Tokyo to London, New York to Riyadh, revealing how every society has its own choreography of speech, interruption, and performance.
In Britain, conversation is a “polite ambush,” wrapped in apologies. Americans interrupt with enthusiasm, mistaking passion for empathy. Italians talk all at once, turning dialogue into an affectionate opera. In France, interruption is a duel; in the Nordic nations, silence is authority. Across Asia and the Middle East, measured speech and generous dialogue show how listening can still be an art.
Anderson dissects the conversational species of our age — from Interruptus Maximus to the Armchair Philosopher, from the Monologue Society to the Name Dropper — with the precision of a zoologist and the wit of a novelist. His analysis exposes not just how we speak, but what our habits reveal about insecurity, identity, and the universal hunger to be heard.
Yet Back to Me is ultimately hopeful. Anderson argues that beneath the noise lies the possibility of civility, humility, and curiosity — if we choose to reclaim them. “When everyone shouts,” he writes, “wisdom whispers.”
Insightful, cosmopolitan, and often laugh-out-loud funny, Back to Me is a timely guide to understanding how we lost the ability to listen — and how we might find it again.

Knights Templars at the priory...

Jean-Patrick Pourtal

The dissolution of the Order of the Temple and the persecution of the Knights Templar are still fresh in people's minds. Why did King Philip the Fair and Pope Clement V set out to destroy them? What secrets did the Knights Templar hold? Just as the Da Vinci Code revealed the existence of the Order of the Priory of Sion and left its mark on the world, Jean-Patrick Pourtal takes you on an investigative journey from the 14th century to the present day. The author develops his hypotheses on the historical implications of the Knights Templar, mixing royal dynasty and hidden messages. He returns to mythical sites such as Arginy, Gisors and Rennes-Le-Château, and meets the characters who were instrumental in bringing about the so-called Templar resurgence.
