Sinopsis

In "The Two Noble Kinsmen," readers are presented with an anthology that exemplifies the intricate tapestry of early 17th-century Jacobean drama, a period rich in literary experimentation and collaboration. This collection, highlighted by the titular play co-authored by William Shakespeare and John Fletcher, showcases the seamless blend of Shakespeare's poetic mastery with Fletcher's renowned structural finesse. The diverse array of literary styles within this anthology not only reflects the transitional literary context of its time but also underscores the thematic exploration of friendship, love, and rivalry, making it a standout piece in the historical and cultural discourse of the era. The contributing authors, Shakespeare and Fletcher, bring to this collaboration their distinct yet complementary literary backgrounds. Shakespeare, with his unparalleled contributions to Elizabethan drama, and Fletcher, a figurehead of the Jacobean theatrical scene, together navigate the complexities of human emotions against the backdrop of societal expectations and constraints. This anthology aligns with the broader cultural and literary movements of the early 17th century, embodying the tensions and transitions of the period while offering invaluable insights into the collaborative dynamics of literary creation. "The Two Noble Kinsmen" is recommended for those who seek to immerse themselves in the depths of Shakespearean and Jacobean drama, offering a unique opportunity to explore a pivotal moment of literary collaboration between two of the era's most influential playwrights. This anthology not only serves as a vital educational resource but also as a testament to the enduring power of narrative to explore the complexities of human relationships. Readers are invited to engage with this collection for its historical significance, its contribution to the dialogue on literary collaboration, and the rich mosaic of themes and styles it presents.

    There's Something I Want You to...

    From a contemporary master of the short story: a dazzling new collection—his first in fifteen years—that explores the unpredictable and mysterious in seemingly ordinary experience. These interrelated stories are arranged in two sections, one devoted to virtues ("Bravery," "Loyalty," "Chastity," "Charity," and "Forbearance") and the other to vices ("Lust," "Sloth," "Avarice," "Gluttony," and "Vanity"). They are cast with characters who appear and reappear throughout the collection, their actions equally divided between the praiseworthy and the loathsome. They take place in settings as various as Tuscany, San Francisco, Ethiopia, and New York, but their central stage is the North Loop of Minneapolis, alongside the Mississippi River, which flows through most of the tales. Each story has at its center a request or a demand, but each one plays out differently: in a hit-and-run, an assault or murder, a rescue, a startling love affair, or, of all things, a gesture of kindness and charity. Altogether incomparably crafted, consistently surprising, remarkably beautiful stories. From the Hardcover edition.

    This classic by Sinclair Lewis shattered the sentimental American myth of happy small-town life with its satire. Main Street attacks the conformity and dullness of early-twentieth-century midwestern village life in the story of Carol Milford, the city girl who marries the town doctor. Her efforts to bring culture to the prairie village are met by a wall of gossip, greed, and petty, small-minded bigotry. The first popular bestseller to attack conventional ideas about marriage, gender roles, and small town life, Main Street established Lewis as a major American novelist.

    "The Parkes Museum" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic.By way of jest, my morning daily paper constantly includes in its menu of "To-day" the Parkes Museum, Margaret Street, adding, seductively, "free"; and no doubt many a festive Jonas Chuzzlewit has preened himself for a sight-seeing, and all unaware of the multitudes of Margaret Streets-surely only Charlottes of that ilk are more abundant-has started forth, he and his feminine, to find this Parkes Museum.

    One of Stacy Aumonier's best loved short stories, telling the story of a surprising evening with Colin St Clair Chasseloup: "the kind of man who always looked as though he had just had a cold bath, done Swedish drill, and then passed through the hairdresser’s on his way to your presence." Chasseloup and the narrator are dragged along by their wives to a concert which interests  neither of them. Both men make their escape from the concert, and decide to go for a drink, forgetting that it is a Sunday night and the pubs are closed. A dramatic, hilarious plot twist—and a revelation of the intriguing complexity of Chasseloup’s character—follows when Chasseloup becomes the victim of a bizarre case of mistaken identity.
