Shakespearean Tragedy / Andrew Cecil Bradley

Public ISBD Title : Shakespearean Tragedy : lectures on Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth Material Type: printed text Authors: Andrew Cecil Bradley, Author Publisher: Charleston [USA] : BiblioBazaar Publication Date: 2008;1991 Other publisher: London [England] : Penguin Books Pagination: 514;474 p. Layout: ill., couv. ill. en coul. Size: 24,21 cm ISBN (or other code): 978-0-554-35507-8 General note: ISBN:9780140530193 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: 429 Old english 828 English literature النثر الانجليزي (الدراما, القصة,المقالات,رسائل ,خطابة) Keywords: Shakespeare, William (1564-1616)  Tragedy Abstract: 'A.C. Bradley put Shakespeare on the map for generations of readers and students for whom the plays might not otherwise have become "real" at all' writes John Bayley in his foreword to this edition of Shakespearean Tragedy: Lectures on Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth . Approaching the tragedies as drama, wondering about their characters as he might have wondered about people in novels or in life, Bradley is one of the most liberating in the line of distinguished Shakespeare critics. His acute yet undogmatic and almost conversational critical method has-despite fluctuations in fashion-remained enduringly popular and influential. For, as John Bayley observes, these lectures give us a true and exhilarating sense of 'the tragedies joining up with life, with all our lives; leading us into a perspective of possibilities that stretch forward and back in time, and in our total awareness of things.'

The catcher in the rye / Salinger

Public ISBD Title : The catcher in the rye Material Type: printed text Authors: Salinger, Author Publisher: London [England] : Penguin Books Publication Date: 1994 Pagination: 1 vol. (192 p.) Layout: ill.,couv.en coul Size: 20 cm ISBN (or other code): 014023750x Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: 429 Old english 828 English literature النثر الانجليزي (الدراما, القصة,المقالات,رسائل ,خطابة) Abstract: The Catcher in the Rye is the ultimate novel for disaffected youth, but it's relevant to all ages. The story is told by Holden Caulfield, a seventeen- year-old dropout who has just been kicked out of his fourth school. Throughout, Holden dissects the 'phony' aspects of society, and the 'phonies' themselves: the headmaster whose affability depends on the wealth of the parents, his roommate who scores with girls using sickly-sweet affection. Lazy in style, full of slang and swear words, it's a novel whose interest and appeal comes from its observations rather than its plot intrigues (in conventional terms, there is hardly any plot at all). Salinger's style creates an effect of conversation, it is as though Holden is speaking to you personally, as though you too have seen through the pretences of the American Dream and are growing up unable to see the point of living in, or contributing to, the society around you.
