Amazon.co.uk Review A dark and difficult play, Measure for Measure has been a popularplay since the latter half of the 20th century for its prescientdramatisation of the issues of sexual and political hypocrisy, andthe ways in which the state interferes in the private lives of itscitizens. Set in Duke Vincentio's Vienna, where poverty, diseaseand prostitution are rife, Claudio and his fiancée Juliet arearrested for having sex before marriage, and Claudio is sentencedto death. Angelo, the Duke's deputy, who stands in for the Dukewhilst he ostensibly goes off on a pilgrimage, enthusiasticallyendorses the sentence. In fact the Duke remains behind the scenes,watching Angelo as he falls for Claudio's sister Isabella, whocomes to beg for her brother's life. Angelo is a wonderfulcreation, loathsome yet fascinating as he struggles with the doublestandards of his enforcement of draconian laws whilst lusting afterthe sister of the man he is prepared to execute, debating "Thetempter or the tempted, who sin

Les Miserables Complete and Unabridged
On one level Les Miserables is a detective story in which therelentless Inspector Javert obsessively pursues the escaped convictJean Valjean. On another level, it is a drama of crime, punishmentand rehabilitation set against a panoramic de*ion of Frenchsociety after Napoleon. But above all, Hugo’s masterpiece is aboutthe metaphysical struggle between good and evil in the soul ofevery man. It is a plea for social justice, political enlightenmentand personal charity.

作者简介： EDGAR ALLAN POE (1809-49). Although he saw himself as primarily a poet, Poe's gothic tales of the grotesque and dark side of life have also been the subject of immense critical scrutiny; some critics have claimed him as the originator of the detective story, others as an early forerunner of the science fiction genre. However the critics divide, one undisputed fact is that Poe is a master storyteller. Edgar Poe was born in Boston, Massachusetts, in January 1809, the second son of travelling actors. There is no record of his father after 1810 and his mother, returning to the Southern circuit, died a year later from tuberculosis. Edgar, split up from his elder brother and younger sister, was taken into the household of a Virginian tobacco merchant, John Allan, whose name Poe adopted from 1824 onwards. He went to England with the Allan family in 1815 and while there attended a school in Stoke Newington. Poe's relationship with his foster father, uneasy at the best of times, was put under gr

THE TAMING OF THE SHREW（驯悍记）(ISBN=9780553213065)
One of the most controversial and problematic of all ofShakespeare's plays, The Taming of the Shrew is a typicalElizabethan domestic comedy written around 1592. Petruchio, agentleman of Verona, arrives in Padua and announces to his friendsthat "I come to wive it wealthily in Padua; / If wealthily, thenhappily in Padua". He soon finds that a group of men keen to marryBianca, the younger daughter of rich old Baptista, are frustratedby her elder, "shrewish" sister, Katherine. There is muchsubsequent hilarity as Bianca's suitors make a bet with Petruchiothat he cannot "tame" and marry Katherine. Despite Katherine'sprotestations, Petruchio goes ahead with the match, usingdeliberately unorthodox behaviour to confuse Katherine (including ascene where he starves her), claiming that "this is the way to killa wife with kindness". The play culminates with a scene ofKatherine's apparently spontaneous subjection to her husband'swill, where she places her hand beneath her husband's foot, andtells the other wives pre

Amazon.com Perhaps the most famous ofLawrence's novels, the 1928 Lady Chatterley's Lover is nolonger distinguished for the once-shockingly explicit treatment ofits subject matter--the adulterous affair between a sexuallyunfulfilled upper-class married woman and the game keeper who worksfor the estate owned by her wheelchaired husband. Now that we'reused to reading about sex, and seeing it in the movies, it'sapparent that the novel is memorable for better reasons: namely,that Lawrence was a masterful and lyrical writer, whose story takesus bodily into the world of its characters. --This text refersto the Paperback edition.

The House of the Seven Gables （Signet Classics)
In the final years of the seventeenth century in a small NewEngland town, the venerable Colonel Pyncheon decides to erect aponderously oak-framed and spacious family mansion. It occupies thespot where Matthew Maule, `an obscure man', had lived in a log hut,until his execution for witchcraft. From the scaffold, Maule pointshis finger at the presiding Colonel and cries `God will give himblood to drink!' The fate of Colonel Pyncheon exerts a heavyinfluence on his descendants in the crumbling mansion for the nextcentury and a half. Hawthorne called his novel a `Romance', drawingon the Gothic tradition which embraced and exploited the thrills ofthe supernatural. Unlike The Scarlet Letter, with its unrelentinglydark view of human nature and guilt, Hawthorne sought to write `amore natural and healthy product of my mind', a story which wouldshow guilt to be a trick of the imagination. The tension betweenfantasy and a new realism underpins the novel's de*ivevirtuosity. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
