Sinossi

A sparkling comedy of mistaken identity, romantic entanglements, and playful deception, Twelfth Night is one of William Shakespeare's most delightful and enduring works. Set in the imagined land of Illyria, this lively play blends humor, music, and heartfelt emotion in a story that celebrates love in all its unpredictable forms.

The tale begins with a shipwreck that separates twins Viola and Sebastian. Believing her brother lost at sea, Viola disguises herself as a young man named Cesario in order to serve Duke Orsino. The Duke, consumed by his unreturned affection for the Countess Olivia, sends Cesario to plead his case on his behalf. But the situation quickly grows complicated: Olivia falls in love with Cesario, unaware that he is actually Viola in disguise, while Viola herself secretly develops feelings for Orsino.

As identities blur and affections tangle, the play unfolds in a whirlwind of comic misunderstandings. Alongside the central love triangle, a spirited subplot features the pompous steward Malvolio, who becomes the target of a mischievous prank that tests his vanity and ambition. Through these intersecting stories, Shakespeare creates a vibrant world filled with wit, longing, and joyful chaos.

At its heart, Twelfth Night explores themes of identity, gender roles, desire, and the transformative power of love. The play challenges rigid boundaries between appearance and reality, showing how disguise can both conceal and reveal the truth. Its festive spirit reflects the holiday season for which it is named—a time when conventions are overturned and laughter reigns.

With memorable characters, lyrical dialogue, and sparkling humor, Twelfth Night remains one of Shakespeare's most beloved comedies. It balances lighthearted romance with deeper reflections on longing and self-discovery, offering a timeless celebration of the human heart.

Charming, witty, and endlessly entertaining, Twelfth Night invites readers and audiences alike to lose themselves in a world where love triumphs over confusion and joy emerges from delightful disorder.

    A Bigfoot Bestiary and Other Wonders is a compendium of natural and unnatural astonishment, anatomizing all those big, hairy monsters that haunt the human condition. Follow their footprints through these pages, and Martin Achatz may just make you a believer in the greatest mystery of all: Love with a capital "L". 
    "Martin Achatz knows what it is to be big and hairy and to express the animal inside us. To paraphrase the Zen koan, live as if you were already Bigfoot. If Iowa Poet Laureate Marvin Bell has his Dead Man poems, Michigan's Achatz has rendered poetical the great ape of the Northwoods, and he eloquently and determinedly immerses us in the dream, meanwhile paying homage to Robert Frost, Pablo Neruda, Wallace Stevens, Flannery O'Connor, and all the other wonderful monsters." --Bonnie Jo Campbell, author of The Waters and American Salvage 
    "Martin Achatz reimagines the legendary Bigfoot in his newest book, a funny and moving collection of poems that is playfully serious. Achatz melds cryptozoologic wonder with the heartrending stuff of the everyday world ... a fierce Sasquatch howl that illuminates and reveals the fragile state of our collective humanity." --W. Todd Kaneko, author of This Is How the Bone Sings 
    "I believe Martin Achatz intended these pages to impart joy (and other wonders) to those who read with an open paintbox at the ready, its colors so pure they demand that monster landscapes be captured and dimensioned within the nether worlds of dreams and the genius of second readings. A 5-star book without doubt." -- Sue Harrison, international bestselling author of The Midwife's Touch 
    Author of The Mysteries of the Rosary and a former U.P. Poet Laureate, Martin Achatz lives in Ishpeming, Michigan with his family. In his spare time, he chases comets and Bigfoot.

    Join Melanie on her tumultuous journey from chaos and destruction, navigating the highs and lows, hitting rock bottom, and striving to find that elusive state of serenity.

    Will she learn to accept and let go? Will she find the courage needed? Will she be wise enough to make the right choices? Ultimately, who really wins – the person holding on or the one letting go?
