Sinopse

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.

Sinclair Lewis’s Nobel Prize–winning satire of the American middle class  Zenith is like many American cities in the wake of the First World War: midsize, industrial, booming with opportunities for enterprising capitalists. But Zenith is unique as a middling metropolis; within its wandering streets walks one George Babbitt, world-class realtor, American dreamer, social climber, and civic booster.   But unexpectedly, dark clouds appear on Babbitt’s horizon: his best friend, a convicted murderer? His eldest daughter, a wretched socialist? Coddled by the trappings of his professional and personal success, how can Babbitt become stricken with loneliness, dissatisfaction, and frustration?   First published in 1922, Lewis Sinclair’s contentious bestselling satire of middle-class America is more relevant than ever.   This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

Ozma of Oz

Ozma of Oz was the third book of L. Frank Baum's Oz series. It was the first in which Baum was clearly intending a series of Oz books. 
It is the first Oz book where the majority of the action takes place outside of the Land of Oz. Only the final two chapters take place in Oz itself. This reflects a subtle change in theme: in the first book, Oz is the dangerous land through which Dorothy must win her way back to Kansas; in the third, Oz is the end and aim of the book. Dorothy's desire to return home is not as desperate as in the first book, and it is her uncle's need for her rather than hers for him that makes her return.
