Herapath was a well-known man in London. He was a Member of Parliament, the owner of a sort of model estate of up-to-date flats, and something of a crank about such matters as ventilation, sanitation, and lighting. He himself, a bachelor, lived in one of the best houses in Portman Square; when he engaged Selwood as his secretary he made him take a convenient set of rooms in Upper Seymour Street, close by. He also caused a telephone communication to be set up between his own house and Selwood’s bedroom, so that he could summon his secretary at any hour of the night. Herapath occasionally had notions about things in the small hours, and he was one of those active, restless persons who, if they get a new idea, like to figure on it at once. All the same, during those three weeks he had not once troubled his secretary in this fashion."

Although it was listed as a comedy when it first appeared, some modern editors have relabeled the play a romance. Some critics, among them W. W. Lawrence (Lawrence, 9-13), consider it to be one of Shakespeare's "problem plays", because the first three acts are filled with intense psychological drama, while the last two acts are comedic and supply a happy ending. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3010.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3010.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3010.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3010.mobi The Two Gentlemen of Verona William Shakespeare http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3009 urn:isbn:1903436958 en 1598 Plays The Two Gentlemen of Verona is a comedy by William Shakespeare from early in his career. It has the smallest cast of any of Shakespeare's plays, and is the first of his plays in which a heroine dresses as a boy. It deals with the themes of friendship and infidelity. The highlight of the play is considered by some to be Launce, the clownish servant of Proteus, and his dog Crab, to whom "the most scene-stealing non-speaking role in the canon" has been attributed. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3009.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3009.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3009.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3009.mobi Twelfth Night William Shakespeare http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3008 urn:isbn:0199536090 en 1601 Plays Twelfth Night, Or What You Will is a comedy by William Shakespeare, based on the short story "Of Apolonius and Silla" by Barnabe Rich. It is named after the Twelfth Night holiday of the Christmas season. It was written around 1601 and first published in the First Folio in 1623. The main title is believed to be an afterthought, created after John Marston premiered a play titled What You Will during the course of the writing. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3008.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3008.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3008.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3008.mobi Troilus and Cressida William Shakespeare http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3007 urn:isbn:0199536538 en 1602 Plays Troilus and Cressida is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1602. The play (also described as one of Shakespeare's problem plays) is not a conventional tragedy, since its protagonist (Troilus) does not die. The play ends instead on a very bleak note with the death of the noble Trojan Hector and destruction of the love between Troilus and Cressida. Throughout the play, the tone lurches wildly between bawdy comedy and tragic gloom, and readers and theatre-goers have frequently found it difficult to understand how one is meant to respond to the characters. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3007.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3007.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3007.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3007.mobi The Tempest William Shakespeare http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3000 urn:isbn:0521618789 en 1611 Plays The Tempest is a comedy written by William Shakespeare. It is generally dated to 1610-11 and accepted as the last play written solely by him, although some scholars have argued for an earlier dating. While listed as a comedy in its initial publication in the First Folio of 1623, many modern editors have relabelled the play a romance. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3000.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3000.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3000.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3000.mobi The Taming of the Shrew William Shakespeare http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2999 urn:isbn:0451526791 en 1594 Plays The Taming of the Shrew is a comedy by William Shakespeare. It was one of his earlier plays, believed to have been written between 1590 and 1594. The play begins with a framing device in which a drunkard is deceived into thinking he is a nobleman who then watches the "play" itself, which depicts a nobleman, Petruchio, who marries an outspoken, intelligent, and bad-tempered shrew named Katherina. Petruchio manipulates and "tames" her until she is obedient to his will. The main subplot features the courting of Katherina's more conventional sister Bianca by numerous suitors. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2999.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2999.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2999.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2999.mobi Pericles, Prince of Tyre William Shakespeare http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2998 urn:isbn:019953683X en 1609 Plays Pericles, Prince of Tyre is a play written (at least in part) by William Shakespeare and included in modern editions of his collected works despite some questions over its authorship, as it was not included in the First Folio. Many modern editors believe that Shakespeare is responsible for the main portion of the play after scene 9 that follows the story of Pericles and Marina, and that the first two acts, detailing the many voyages of Pericles, were written by a relatively untalented reviser or collaborator, possibly George Wilkins. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2998.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2998.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2998.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2998.mobi For Solo Cello, op. 12 Mary Robinette Kowal http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2900 en 2007 Short Fiction Science Fiction Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2900.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2900.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2900.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2900.mobi Anthem Ayn Rand http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2837 urn:isbn:0452281253 en 1938 Novels Science Fiction Psychology Anthem is a dystopian fiction novella by Ayn Rand, first published in 1938. It takes place at some unspecified future date when mankind has entered another dark age as a result of the evils of irrationality and collectivism and the weaknesses of socialistic thinking and economics. Technological advancement is now carefully planned (when it is allowed to occur at all) and the concept of individuality has been eliminated (for example, the word "I" has disappeared from the language). As is common in her work, Rand draws a clear distinction between the "socialist/communal" values of equality and brotherhood and the "productive/capitalist" values of achievement and individuality. Many of the novella's core themes, such as the struggle between individualism and collectivism, are echoed in Rand's later books, such as The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. However, the style of "Anthem" is unique among Rand's work, more narrative-centered and economical, lacking the intense didactic expressions of philosophical abstraction that occur in later works. It is probably her most accessible work.

Departing from literary convention, Kate Chopin failed to condemn her heroine's desire for an affair with the son of a Louisiana resort owner, whom she meets on vacation. The power of sensuality, the delusion of ecstatic love, and the solitude that accompanies the trappings of middle- and upper-class life are the themes of this now-classic novel. As Kaye Gibbons points out in her Introduction, Chopin "was writing American realism before most Americans could bear to hear that they were living it." http://www.feedbooks.com/book/342.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/342.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/342.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/342.mobi
