Shakespeare's intertwined love polygons begin to get complicated from the start--Demetrius and Lysander both want Hermia but she only has eyes for Lysander. Bad news is, Hermia's father wants Demetrius for a son-in-law. On the outside is Helena, whose unreturned love burns hot for Demetrius. Hermia and Lysander plan to flee from the city under cover of darkness but are pursued by an enraged Demetrius (who is himself pursued by an enraptured Helena). In the forest, unbeknownst to the mortals, Oberon and Titania (King and Queen of the faeries) are having a spat over a servant boy. The plot twists up when Oberon's head mischief-maker, Puck, runs loose with a flower which causes people to fall in love with the first thing they see upon waking. Throw in a group of labourers preparing a play for the Duke's wedding (one of whom is given a donkey's head and Titania for a lover by Puck) and the complications become fantastically funny.

Jane Austen's stock in the popular marketplace has never been higher, while academic studies continue to uncover new aspects of her engagement with her world. This fully updated edition of the acclaimed Cambridge Companion offers clear, accessible coverage of the intricacies of Austen's works in their historical context, with biographical information and suggestions for further reading. Major scholars address Austen's six novels, the letters and other works, in terms accessible to students and the many general readers, as well as to academics. With seven new essays, the Companion now covers topics that have become central to recent Austen studies, for example, gender, sociability, economics, and the increasing number of screen adaptations of the novels.

The New Grammarians' Funeral : A Critique of Noam Chomsky's Linguistics

This is probably the sharpest consideration of Chomskyan linguistics yet to appear. Ian Robinson argues that it is important to recognise Chomsky's positive achievement as a definition of the domain of traditional syntax in the context of an adherence to traditional grammar. But this strictly limited achievement offers no basis for many of the claims made for linguistics. Chomsky's views of language as a whole are narrow and conceptually confused; his psychology is based on the predication of unnecessary entities; and the central ambition to make linguistics a natural science is deeply misconceived. The common reader will find the argument clear and invigorating. The study of language necessarily interests philosophers as well as linguists: so the ordinary person with no more than an interest in poetry or speech may feel himself disadvantaged as an amateur. On the contrary: it is by the common reader that the discussion of language is finally judged, and Mr Robinson speaks for the central common sense of speakers and readers of language and literature.

This book could be a good read for someone interested in understanding the complexities of China's economic growth and the potential risks it faces. George Magnus provides an in-depth analysis of the key challenges including debt, middle income, the Renminbi, and an aging population, and examines how these factors could hinder China's continued rise. Not only does he explore economic issues, but Magnus also delves into the political direction of President Xi Jinping and its compatibility with China's economic aspirations. With thorough research and a critical perspective, this book offers valuable insights into the potential conflicts over trade, China's relationship with Trump, and its Belt and Road initiative in Eurasia.

It could be especially insightful for those interested in the Holocaust's influence on modern literature.

"Abraham's Promise" takes the reader on a journey of self-discovery and nostalgia as Abraham, the protagonist, reflects on his life and how the culture and society of Singapore have changed over the years. It is a well-written and thought-provoking novel that delves into themes of idealism, cynicism, and maturation. I highly recommend it to readers who enjoy coming-of-age stories with historical and cultural insights.

Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan is arguably the greatest piece of political philosophy written in the English language. Written in a time of great political turmoil (Hobbes' life spanned the reign of Charles I, the Civil Wars, the Commonwealth and the Protectorate, and the Restoration), Leviathan is an argument for obedience to authority grounded in an analysis of human nature. Since its first publication in 1991 Richard Tuck's edition of Leviathan has been recognised as the single most accurate and authoritative text, and for this revised edition Professor Tuck has provided a much amplified and expanded introduction, which will provide students unfamiliar with Hobbes with a cogent and accessible introduction to this most challenging of texts. Other vital aids to study include an extensive guide to further reading, a note on textual matters, a chronology of important events and brief biographies of important persons mentioned in Hobbes' text.

Великая историческая эпопея «Троецарствие» возглавляет список «Четырех классических романов» — наиболее знаменитых китайских произведений XIV—XVIII веков. В Китае это, пожалуй, самая популярная и любимая книга, но и на Западе «Троецарствие» до сих пор считается наиболее популярным китайским романом. В нем изображены события, относящиеся к III веку нашей эры, когда Китай распался на три самостоятельных царства, непрерывно воевавших между собой. Впрочем, «историческим» роман можно назвать с натяжкой: скорее, это невероятное переплетение множества сюжетов (читатель найдет здесь описания военных сражений, интриг, борьбы за власть, любовных перипетий и многого другого), где историческая достоверность сочетается с мифами и легендами Древнего Китая. В настоящем издании текст печатается по двухтомнику, выпущенному Государственным издательством художественной литературы в 1954 году, и сопровождается комментариями и классическими иллюстрациями китайских художников.

When Claudio breaks the new laws against vice in Vienna by getting his financee, Julietta, pregnant, a series of ethical issues is brought under scrutiny. His sister's virtue is held to ransom by the deputy rule of the city until justice is done, mercy shown, and order restored. This is among Shakespeare's most vivid dramatic projections of moral duplicity. The introduction discusses the origins of his treatment of the well-known story and examines his sources. The editor also sets the play in its historical context and offers the most comprehensive available account of the text's theatrical life from Restoration adaptations to present-day productions.
