Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Midsummer a Story for Boys and Girls "We are to meet them on the rocks. Old Hjalmar from the castle is to row them over. Isn't it splendid to think they are really here!" Valfried Zander tossed her gold braid of hair over her shoulder as she helped her little sister Astrid to climb into the green, freshly painted boat. Then she called, "Jacken come." A fat, black and brown dachshund waddled slowly across the shiny beach and as slowly scrambled over the edge of the rowboat, settling himself comfortably under the first seat. Bjorn, her brother, gave a shove with his hand on the hot beach, as he jumped into the boat. He had been fishing and his plump, good-natured face was very red. He took the oars and the boat glided out onto the grey green water. There were splashes of color everywhere, purple and gold streaks on the bay. The sky, too, was purple with strange flashes of green and scarlet, for it was evening in Sweden and it was almost midsummer time.

Download or read book As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning written by Laurie Lee and published by David R. Godine Publisher. This book was released on 2011 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I was nineteen years old, still soft at the edges, but with a confident belief in good fortune. I carried a small rolled-up tent, a violin in a blanket, a change of clothes, a tin of treacle biscuits, and some cheese. I was excited, vain-glorious, knowing I had far to go; but not, as yet, how far." Despite this romantic and optimistic opening, what Lee finds is the most primitive and feudal country in Europe, a peninsula untouched by the modern world, a land of labor without dignity, a church devoid of compassion, and a country ripe for revolutionary change.

Download or read book A Midsummer Night s Dream written by William Shakespeare and published by St. Augustine's Press. This book was released on 2024-05-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This edition of A Midsummer Night's Dream takes the comedy seriously. Like my previous Hackett editions, it gives full weight to Shakespeare's dramatic setting, which other editors (and scholars) almost always ignore or at least fail adequately to consider. Ancient Athens is the core, not the mere background, of Midsummer Night's Dream. As we shall see, Shakespeare focuses, in particular, on the love of the beautiful and the triumph of learning and art, along with the rise of democracy, which, as Pericles' famously claims, are the hallmarks of Athens. 'We are lovers of the beautiful with thrift, and lovers of wisdom without softness' (Thucydides, The Peloponnesian War, 2.40.1). [...] Failure to consider classical Athens as central to Midsummer Night's Dream will cause a reader to miss not only the play's remarkable substance, but much of its sparkling comedy as well. Far from impeding the play's humor, focusing on Athens helps to bring out multi-layers of comedy that Shakespeare put there."
