    The poems of Wilfred Owen

    Sin existencias

    COP $ 48.000
    In his draft preface, Wilfred Owen includes his well-known statement \'My subject is War, and the pity of War. The Poetry is in the Pity\'. All of his important poems were written in just over a year, and Dulce et Decorum Est, S.I.W., Futility and Anthem for Doomed Youth still have an astonishing power to move the reader. Owen pointed out that \'AII a poet can do today is to warn. That is why all true poets must be truthful\'. His warning was based on his acute observation of the soldiers with whom he served on the Western Front, and his poems reflect the horror and the waste of the First Wortd War. This volume contains all Owen\'s best-known poems, only four of which were published, in his lifetime. He was killed a week before the Armistice in November 1918.

    The Wordsworth Classics \' Shakespeare Series, with Henry V and The Merchant of Venice as its inaugural volumes, presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeares works. The textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal. Othello has long been recognised as one of the most powerful of Shakespeare \'s tragedies. This is an intense drama of love, deception, jealousy and destruction. Desdemona\'s love for Othello, the Moor, transcends racial prejudice: but the envious Iago conspires to devastate their lives. In its vivid rendering of racism, sexism, contested identities, and the savagery lurking within civilisation, Othello is arguably the most topical and accessible tragedy from Shakespeares major phase as a dramatist. Productions on stage and screen regularly renew its power to engross, impress and trouble the imagination.

The marriage of Soames and Irene disintegrates in bitter recrimination. Creating a feud within the family that will have tar-reaching consequences. As the years pass, the feud between the two factions of the troubled family deepens and the shadows of past miseries return to haunt the lives of a new, younger generation. Irenes son Jon has fallen in love with Fleur, the daughter of the embittered Soames. The consequences will be tragic.

  5. Henry V

    The Wordsworth Classics author series, with this book V as its inaugural volume, presents a newly-edited sequence of authors works. The textual editing endeavours to talk account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal. This book is the most famous and influential of authors history plays. Its powerful patriotic rhetoric has resounded down the ages, gaining eloquent expression in Laurence Oliviers renowned film. Henry himself, astute and charismatic, who led his band of brothers to victory in the Battle of Agincourt, could indeed seem to be this star of England. In recent decades the play has attracted increasing critical attention and is now highly controversial. Kenneth Branaghs film-production reflected the changing valuation. Does this play have a sceptical sub-text which subverts its patriotism Is Henrys achievement beset by irony Has current scepticism distorted a predominantly and proudly nationalistic drama This book demonstrates authors acclaimed ability to bring new complexity to the material that he adapted, so that different eras may find within his work the familiar and the strange, the congenial and the challenging.Nota: el contenido de este libro se encuentra en inglés.

    Unusually for the author, this book is set, not in London, but in the imaginary mid-Victorian Northern industrial town of Coketown with its blackened factories, downtrodden workers and polluted environment. This is the soulless domain of the strict utilitarian Thomas Gradgrind and the heartless factory owner Josiah Bounderby. However human joy is not excluded thanks to \'Mr Sleary\'s Horse-Riding\' circus, a gin-soaked and hilarious troupe of open-hearted and affectionate people who act as an antidote to all the drudgery and misery endured by the ordinary citizens of Coketown.Macaulay attacked Han! Times for its \'sullen socialism\', but 2Oth-century critics such as George Bernard Shaw and F.R. Leavis have praised this book in the highest terms, while readers the world over have found inspiration and enjoyment from what is both author\' shortest completed novel and also one of his important statements on Victorian society.

    The Wordsworth Classics \' Shakespeare Series presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeares works The textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal. The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeares most popular comedies, but it remains deeply controversial. The text may seem anti-Semitic: yet repeatedly, in performance, it has revealed a contrasting nature. Shylock, though vanquished in the law-court, often triumphs in the theatre. In his intensity he can dominate the play, challenging abrasively its romantic and lyrical affirmations. What results is a bitter-sweet drama. Though The Merchant of Venice offers some of the traditional pleasures of romantic comedy, it also exposes the operations of prejudice. Thus Shakespeare remains our contemporary.
