Book excerpt: A journalist in nineteenth-century New York matches wits with a serial killer in a gripping thriller by the prizewinning author of the Ian Hamilton Mysteries. New York, 1880. Elizabeth van den Broek is the only female reporter at the Herald, the city's most popular newspaper. Then she and her bohemian friend Carlotta Ackerman find a woman's body wrapped like a mummy in a freshly dug hole in Central Park--the intended site of an obelisk called Cleopatra's Needle. The macabre discovery takes Elizabeth away from the society pages to follow an investigation into New York City's darkest shadows. When more bodies turn up, each tied to Egyptian lore, Elizabeth is onto a headline-making scoop more sinister than she could have imagined. Her reporting has readers spellbound, and each new clue implicates New York's richest and most powerful citizens. And a serial killer is watching every headline. Now a madman with an indecipherable motive is coming after Elizabeth and everyone she loves. She wants a good story? She may have to die to get it.

Download or read book Three Spanish Golden Age Plays written by Lope De Vega and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-07-17 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three classic Spanish plays, made famous by Shakespeare and Webster Two of the most famous and successful playwrights of Spain's Golden Age of playwriting were Lope de Vega (1562-1635) and Rojas Zorrilla (1607-48). From their prodigious output, the three plays in this volume, based on similar sources to Shakespeare's and Webster's versions, provide a fascinating comparison with their Jacobean counterparts. Lope's The Duchess of Amalfi's Steward, in contrast to Webster's play, focuses on the nobility of love, with characters who are complex and appealing. His Romeo-and-Juliet story, The Capulets and Montagues, is a fast-moving mixture of serious and comic, with an ending that will surprise and entertain. Rojas' treatment of Cleopatra, with its rich imagery, emphasises the love theme, held within a knot of jealous relationships. A full introduction by Gwynne Edwards sets the plays in context and provides a thorough study of the individual works.

Download or read book Cleopatra written by Grigory Borzenko and published by Strelbytskyy Multimedia Publishing. This book was released on 2024-07-02 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the main character will have to go through so many terrible situations in which she will find herself that the main ones, without a doubt, will be her incredible adventures that she had to endure not only in England, but also in Africa, Barbados, among the vastness of the Atlantic. The descriptions of love affairs and intimate scenes with the participation of our nymphomaniac, of course, bring zest and variety to the saga about the beautiful Angelina, but in this story, voluptuous moments did not happen to her as often as she would like.
Download or read book Digger s Moon written by John Heird and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-10 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digger's Moon is a dramatic, gritty and realistic look at life and death in the Indian Territory. Set in Fort Smith, Arkansas, where Federal Judge Isaac C. Parker and his 200 U.S. Deputy Marshals struggled to bring justice to the chaos of the Western frontier, Digger's Moon recalls life in a place often called "Hell on the Border." It was a place where life was cheap, and living was hard. Violence convulsed everyday life, and revenge was the law of the land. Digger's Moon is the story of brutality born of lawlessness, and Parker's hard-fought brand of justice, a captivating tale of precarious friendships and redemptive love. Painstakingly researched for historical accuracy and masterfully written in the tradition of old-fashioned, campfire story telling, Digger's Moon will sweep you into the adventures of unforgettable characters, page after page. And when you're finished the last page, this story will stay with you from first-light to twilight, through the light of a digger's moon, until you pick it back up and fall once again under its spell.

Download or read book Cleopatra written by Francine Prose and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A feminist reinterpretation of the myths surrounding Cleopatra casts new light on the Egyptian queen and her legacy "A lucid and persuasive reinterpretation. Readers won't see Cleopatra the same way again."--Publishers Weekly "Where Prose really sparkles: her critiques of the cultural depictions of Cleopatra."--Allison Arieff, San Francisco Chronicle The siren passionately in love with Mark Antony, the seductress who allegedly rolled out of a carpet she had herself smuggled in to see Caesar, Cleopatra is a figure shrouded in myth. Beyond the legends immortalized by Plutarch, Shakespeare, George Bernard Shaw, and others, there are no journals or letters written by Cleopatra herself. All we have to tell her story are words written by others. What has it meant for our understanding of Cleopatra to have had her story told by writers who had a political agenda, authors who distrusted her motives, and historians who believed she was a liar? Francine Prose delves into ancient Greek and Roman literary sources, as well as modern representations of Cleopatra in art, theater, and film, to challenge narratives driven by orientalism and misogyny and offer a new interpretation of Cleopatra's history through the lens of our current era.

Book excerpt: Queen Cleopatra is a historical drama by Talbot Mundy. It depicts the biggest clash of the sexes known to history, that of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar. Excerpt: "Cleopatra yawned. The rising sun, with a hint in its hue of the heat it had left behind in Asia, began brightening the gilt and marble coloring of the harbor water, streaking it with silver, making spots of gorgeous color where the seaweed and the scum and flotsam drifted. Through the windows, the masts of a hundred ships appeared like pen-strokes in the haze. Three crows came and perched on the marble balcony rail, alert and impudent, as Cleopatra jumped from her bed and came out under the awning, stretching herself."
