Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lost Endeavour I had fetched old Carter's snuff half a dozen times before my troubles began. I liked the business very well, for Deptford streets were amusing in those days, when the naval docks were there. The river used to be full of shipping. The docks and building slips were full, too. It was one of the gayest, brightest sights in the world that little naval station. The ships with their flags and their scarlet gun-ports (all triced up in a line above the brass gun-muzzles), made a fair show from the river bank. And then to see a great ship coming up under sail, firing her guns to salute the flag, and all the other ships firing, or dipping their colours, moved one to the bone. There were sailors everywhere in Deptford, at all times; mostly men-of - war's men; but you must not think that I sought their company. In those days one shunned a sailor, as a sort of rough bear without a soul, who had somehow escaped hang ing. Afterwards, when I came to mix with sailors, I found that people were right about them. They were a hard and vicious company, with a few good among them, but not many. Most of them were turned out of the gaols to serve in the fleet. Some of them were branded. Some of them had been under sentence of death. Some of them were deserters from other navies. The few allowed free in Deptford were old men, whose toughness had raised them to warrants, and to some little responsibility in the hulks or arsenal.

This book was released on 2014-02-27 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: “Love's Labour's Lost (The Unabridged Play) + The Classic Biography: The Life of William Shakespeare” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Love's Labour's Lost is one of William Shakespeare's early comedies, believed to have been written in the mid-1590s and first published in 1598. It follows the King of Navarre and his three companions as they attempt to foreswear the company of women for three years of study and fasting, and their subsequent infatuation with the Princess of Aquitaine and her ladies. In an untraditional ending for a comedy, the play closes with the death of the Princess's father, and all weddings are delayed for a year. Life of William Shakespeare is a biography of William Shakespeare by the eminent critic Sidney Lee. This book was one of the first major biographies of the Bard of Avon. It was published in 1898, based on the article contributed to the Dictionary of National Biography. William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, the authorship of some of which is uncertain. Sir Sidney Lee (1859 – 1926) was an English biographer and critic. He was a lifelong scholar and enthusiast of Shakespeare. His article on Shakespeare in the fifty-first volume of the Dictionary of National Biography formed the basis of his Life of William Shakespeare. This full-length life is often credited as the first modern biography of the poet.
