Download or read book Peer Gynt and Brand written by Henrik Ibsen and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2016-06-30 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new Penguin edition of Ibsen's two great verse plays, in masterful versions by one of our greatest living poets, Geoffrey Hill. These two powerful and contrasting verse dramas by Ibsen made his reputation as a playwright. The fantastical adventures of the irrepressible Peer Gynt - poet, idler, procrastinator, seducer - draw on Norwegian folklore to conjure up mountains, kidnappings, shipwrecks and trolls in an exuberant examination of truth and the self; while Brand, an unsparing vision of an idealistic priest who lives by his steely faith, explores free will and sacrifice. This volume brings together the poet Geoffrey Hill's acclaimed stage version of Brand with a new poetic rendering of Peer Gynt, published for the first time. This Penguin edition includes an interview with Geoffrey Hill about recreating Ibsen in English, an introduction by Janet Garton and editorial materials by Tore Rem.

Not when it comes to caring for her mother, and not at her job protecting Texas's most eligible--and infuriating--bachelor.

To self-made millionaire Jeremy Bridges, women are like fine wine: if held for too long, they sour. But one wild night with Bernadette changed all that. She makes him laugh, she makes him think, and soon she's going to make him a father. For the first time, Jeremy wants to be a one-woman man. So how can he convince the fiercely independent Bernadette he's ready to change from partying playboy to dependable dad--and become the loving husband she deserves?

Book excerpt: Penelope Rider has transformed her uncle’s utilitarian beach house in Seahaven into a beautiful venue for intimate weddings, but she’s struggling to promote her new venture and her money is running out. When she offers a steep discount to a social media celebrity, who books the house for her ceremony, reception and the week leading up to her big day, Penelope hopes she’s finally gotten the break she needs—until a handsome stranger shows up claiming he booked the house over a year ago for a fishing vacation that same week. It’s been a rough year for Westin Abbott the fourth, Wes to his friends. Just when he’s ready to start his own fishing charter business, his parents boot his sister from the family telecommunications business and demand Wes step in as CEO—right now. He’s agreed to take on the job, but not until after one last fishing trip with his favorite guide. He’s come back to Seahaven every year for a decade, but when he arrives this time he finds Fisherman’s Point is now EdgeCliff Manor, and a stranger is running the show. A very pretty stranger. She’s filled his quiet getaway with a raucous wedding party, and she claims she knows nothing of his longstanding booking. Penelope can’t believe there’s an outstanding reservation left from her uncle’s fishing charter days. She’s got only one room left to offer Wes—the spare bedroom in her attic apartment. When he asks if there’s any way she can take him fishing on her uncle’s old boat, it’s hard to say no when one bad review could tank her business. Now she’s fishing in the morning and dealing with a bridezilla and her entourage the rest of the day. Can she possibly pull this off? Or will she lose the beach house she loves so much?

Download or read book The Djinn in the Nightingale s Eye written by A. S. Byatt and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2009-10-21 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magnificent title story of this collection of fairy tales for adults describes the strange and uncanny relationship between its extravagantly intelligent heroine--a world renowned scholar of the art of story-telling--and the marvelous being that lives in a mysterious bottle, found in a dusty shop in an Istanbul bazaar. As A.S. Byatt renders this relationship with a powerful combination of erudition and passion, she makes the interaction of the natural and the supernatural seem not only convincing, but inevitable. The companion stories in this collection each display different facets of Byatt's remarkable gift for enchantment. They range from fables of sexual obsession to allegories of political tragedy; they draw us into narratives that are as mesmerizing as dreams and as bracing as philosophical meditations; and they all us to inhabit an imaginative universe astonishing in the precision of its detail, its intellectual consistency, and its splendor. "A dreamy treat.... It is not merely strange, it is wondrous." --Boston Globe "Alternatingly erudite and earthy, direct and playful.... If Scheherazade ever needs a break, Byatt can step in, indefinitely." --Chicago Tribune "Byatt's writing is crystalline and splendidly imaginative.... These [are] perfectly formed tales." --Washington Post Book World
