Book Description
Vale Ferne was born in China, from where her family moved from another country; and now lives in Canada. Shakespeare captured her interest early in life, and a reading of Hamlet at a night school in Toronto intensified it. Others of her favorite writers are J.J. Rousseau, L.G. Byron and J.L. Borges. Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: A Thought Quarter'd is her first book. In Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: A thought Quarter’d Vale Ferne offers her own radical, fresh and witty reading of Shakespeare’s play in the light of the legendary history of Denmark. She goes beyond “deconstruction” to “reconstruction,” splitting and combining Shakespeare’s characters to create a whole new cast of her own. Her new version is a true Jeu d’esprit that can be read entirely for itself yet offers provocative insights into Shakespeare’s play. Enjoy!

Book Description
John Crowe Ransom, Allen Tate, Donald Davidson, and Robert Penn Warren—each began his career as one of the coterie of southern poets centered at Vanderbilt University who attracted national attention with their publication of The Fugitive magazine in the early 1920s and the celebrated essays in I’ll Take My Stand. Collectively known as the Fugitives (or Agrarians as they were later called) they became ardent and influential participants in the regionalist-proletarian literary controversies of the Depression decades. Each of the four poets was personally concerned with the connection between their creative work and the social realities around them. In The Wary Fugitives Louis Rubin masterfully explores and illustrates the relationships between their poetry, novels, and literary criticism, and their work as social critics. He conducts, in the process, a revealing and provocative inquiry into the connection between American history and the twentieth-century South.

Pages : 410
Book Description
Alfred Döblin (1878-1957) studied medicine in Berlin and specialized in the treatment of nervous diseases. Along with his experiences as a psychiatrist in the workers' quarter of Berlin, his writing was inspired by the work of Holderlin, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche and was first published in the literary magazine, Der Sturm. Associated with the Expressionist literary movement in Germany, he is now recognized as on of the most important modern European novelists. Berlin Alexanderplatz is one of the masterpieces of modern European literature and the first German novel to adopt the technique of James Joyce. It tells the story of Franz Biberkopf, who, on being released from prison, is confronted with the poverty, unemployment, crime and burgeoning Nazism of 1920s Germany. As Franz struggles to survive in this world, fate teases him with a little pleasure before cruelly turning on him. Foreword by Alexander Stephan Translated by Eugene Jolas>
