The Scattered Papers of Penelope: New and Selected Poems (The Lannan Translation)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A career-spanning collection by one of greece’s most loved and lyrical contemporary poets, Katerina Anghelaki-Rooke I wasn’t weaving, I wasn’t knitting I was writing something erasing and being erased under the weight of the word —from “Penelope Says” Drawn from the traditions of Greek myth, history, and literature, The Scattered Papers of Penelope is the poet Katerina Anghelaki-Rooke’s first full retrospective collection available in English. Carried over from the Greek by an array of noted translators, including the editor, Karen Van Dyck, Anghelaki-Rooke’s poetry is bold, sensual, and brash.

Other poems and sequences take the form of a journal kept during the first Gulf War, prose poems about modern violence and the destruction of nature, existential musings on beings and things on their own, and… [detailed...]

The Scent of Sake

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: She was taught to submit, to obey . . . but she dreamed of an empire. The sole heir to the House of Omura, a venerable family of Kobe sake brewers, nineteen-year-old Rie hears but cannot heed her mother`s advice: that in nineteenth-century Japan, a woman must `kill the self` or her life will be too difficult to bear. In this strict, male-dominated society, women may not even enter the brewery—and repressive tradition demands that Rie turn over her family`s business to the inept philanderer she`s been forced to marry. She is even expected to raise her husband`s children by another woman—a geisha—so that they can eventually run the Omura enterprise. But Rie`s pride will not allow her to relinquish what is rightfully hers. With courage, cunning, brilliance, and skill, she is ready to confront every threat that arises before her—from prejudice to treachery to shipwrecks to the insidious schemes of relentless rivals—in her bold determination to forge a magnificent dynasty…and to,… [detailed...]

In Shanghai, his family was reunited with his elder brother, now a leading Guomindang general commanding the final defense of the city. David recounts narrow escapes and rescues, treachery and blackmail, and a final wrenching irony that would tear him from his loved ones.

Throughout these fierce and musical poems, Rich traces the imprint of a public crisis on individual experience: personal lives bent by collective realities, language itself held to account.

Richard Brinsley Sheridan
The School for Scandal

1991 y.
Publisher: Dover Publications
Description: The intrigues of such aptly named characters as Lady Sneerwell, Sir Joseph Surface, Lady Candour and Sir Benjamin Backbite have amused theater audiences for over two centuries. They are the invention of the Irish-born playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan, and they unfold, collide and backfire hilariously in his masterpiece. `The School for Scandal`, a play still considered by many the best comedy of manners in English. It is a comedy with two plots, one involving Sir Oliver Surface`s attempts to discover the worthier of his two nephews, and the other unleashing Lady Sneerwell`s strategies to ensnare both nephews and the hapless Lady Teazle in her designs. Both plots converge brilliantly in the screen scene - one of the most famous in all of theater. `The School for Scandal` reveals not only Sheridan`s mastery of the mechanics of stage comedy, but also his flair for witty dialogue and obvious delight in skewering the affectation and pretentiousness of aristocratic… [detailed...]
