Amidst this dragon-kissed landscape, the intricate plot thickens. The niece of the empress, having fled an arranged marriage, discovers herself entangled in a web spun by a scheming duke and the Roshian empire's cunning spy. The duke, with ambitions to seize the throne, aims to legitimize his claim through matrimony. Now, Hara and Gideon are drawn into a web of political intrigue. Compelled to rescue the runaway niece, Hara finds herself accompanied by an unexpected ally – the groom left jilted at the altar. However, this seemingly inept companion proves to be a fop with hidden depths, adding layers of humor and complexity to their quest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mechanicals of Recoleta is an intense drama about the dark secrets hidden in the Navy School of Mechanics, the infamous site of torture during Argentina's dirty war of 1976 to 1983. Flash forward to modern-day California, where Zoe, originally from Argentina, enjoys a cushy job on a Silicon Valley campus and a brand new husband. Her perfect life is interrupted during her honeymoon in India by a phone call from Buenos Aires. Hearing that her father has died, Zoe is forced to leave her new husband behind to rush back to South America to attend the funeral at the Recoleta cemetery, where only the creme de la creme of Argentina's upper crust are buried. In Argentina for the first time in years, Zoe uncovers hints about her father's and uncle's roles during the junta period, and that her new husband might not be who she thinks. Stalked by a mysterious old woman (a Plaza de Mayo Mother), Zoe is forced to confront the fact that her family's hidden secrets may be even worse than the accusations made by the current Argentine regime and starts to realize that her entire life may have been a lie. What is Zoe's true heritage? Are her parents really her parents? And what role does her husband play? About the Author: Max Milano has delivered a novel that melds Shakespearian drama with Tarantino-esque violence. The Mechanicals [Grave Diggers] of Recoleta is a Hamlet meets Kill Bill tour de force. He has lived throughout the world, and now resides in Silicon Valley, California, where he is writing his next two books.

Download or read book Shakespeare written by Gabriel Egan and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2007-11-21 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book helps the reader make sense of the most commonly studied writer in the world. It starts with a brief explanation of how Shakespeare's writings have come down to us as a series of scripts for actors in the early modern theatre industry of London. The main chapters of the book approach the texts through a series of questions: 'what's changed since Shakespeare's time?', 'to what uses has Shakespeare been put?', and 'what value is there in Shakespeare?' These questions go to the heart of why we study Shakespeare at all, which question the book encourages the readers to answer for themselves in relation to their own critical writing.

Download or read book The Camp Fire Girls at School written by Hildegarde Gertrude Frey and published by 1st World Publishing. This book was released on 2006-07 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speaking of diaries, said Gladys Evans, "what do you think of this for one?" She spread out a bead band, about an inch and a half wide and a yard or more long, in which she had worked out in colors the main events of her summer's camping trip with the Winnebago Camp Fire Girls. The girls dropped their hand work and crowded around Gladys to get a better look at the band, which told so cleverly the story of their wonderful summer. "Oh, look," cried "Sahwah" Brewster, excitedly pointing out the figures, "there's Shadow River and the canoe floating upside down, and Ed Roberts serenading Gladys - only it turned out to be Sherry serenading Nyoda - and the Hike, and the Fourth of July pageant, and everything!" The Winnebagos were loud in their expressions of admiration, and the "Don't you remembers" fell thick and fast as they recalled the events depicted in the bead band.

Download or read book A Director s Guide to Stanislavsky s Active Analysis written by James Thomas and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-08 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Director's Guide to Stanislavsky's Active Analysis describes Active Analysis, the innovative rehearsal method Stanislavsky formulated in his final years. By uniting 'mental analysis' and 'études', Active Analysis puts an end to the problem of mind-body dualism and formalized text memorization that traditional rehearsal methods foster. The book describes Active Analysis both practically and conceptually; Part One guides the reader through the entire process of Active Analysis, using A Midsummer Night's Dream as a practical reference point. The inspiration here is the work of the Russian director Anatoly Efros, whose pioneering work led the way for a reawakening of theatre in post-Soviet Russia. Part Two is the first English translation of Maria Knebel's foundational article about Active Analysis. Knebel was hand-selected by Stanislavsky to carry his final work forward in unadulterated form for succeeding generations of directors and actors. A Director's Guide to Stanislavsky's Active Analysis provides the first detailed explanation of Active Analysis from the director's perspective, while also meeting the needs of actors who seek to enhance their creative involvement in the process of play production.

Download or read book Souls with Longing written by Bernard J. Dobski and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2011-11-21 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The works of William Shakespeare vividly represent for our admiration and study a pageant of souls with longing in whose wake we ceaselessly follow. Through some of his most memorable characters, Shakespeare illuminates the nature and character—as well as consequences—of our distinctively human passions and ambition, in particular our desire for and pursuit of both honor and love. The contributors to this collaborative volume (scholars in English Literature, Political Philosophy, and the Humanities) argue that Shakespeare has much to teach us about our longing for honor and love in particular, and thus about who we are, what we desire, and why. Through sustained reflection on the Shakespearean portraits of honor and love, which are the focus of the chapters in Souls With Longing, we become more keenly aware of our own humanity and come to know ourselves more profoundly. As the abiding popularity of his works aptly demonstrates, Shakespeare’s unforgettable portraits of souls with longing—his representations of honor and love—continue to exert undeniable sway over our political, moral, and romantic imaginations.
