Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outside of ancient Syracuse on the island of Sicily, there lived a cruel ruler named Dionysius. He trusted no one. Nearby lived two best friends, Damon and Pythias. One day Pythias spoke out against Dionysius, who quickly ordered his execution, to take place in one month. Pythias wanted to return to his elderly parents to say goodbye and arrange for their care. Dionysius laughed, not trusting that Pythias would return. Damon stood up and offered to take Pythias' place until he returned. The ruler agreed only after stipulating that if Pythias did not come back, Damon would die instead. When the execution day arrived, Pythias had not returned, but Damon still believed that his friend would be there if he could. Just in time, Pythias ran in, offering up his own life for his friend's.

Book excerpt: Damon and Pythias, both of whom are arrested by the tyrannical Dionysius. Condemned to death, Pythias asks only that he be allowed to head to his home country and say goodbye to his loved ones. Dionysius agrees, but only on condition that Damon remain behind as hostage, to be executed in Pythias' place should the latter not return. Circumstances of an incredible nature prevent Pythias from returning at the appointed time, and tension mounts as the loyal Damon mounts the scaffold in anticipation of death. Just in the nick of time, however, Pythias returns, whereupon Dionysius, profoundly moved by the friends' devotion to one another, releases them both.

Download or read book Subjects of Advice written by Ivan Lupić and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2019-09-30 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Subjects of Advice, Ivan Lupić uncovers the rich interconnectedness of dramatic art and the culture of counsel in the early modern period. While counsel was an important form of practical knowledge, with concrete political consequences, it was also an ingrained cultural habit, a feature of obligatory mental, moral, and political hygiene. To be a Renaissance subject, Lupić claims, one had to reckon with the advice of others. Lupić examines this reckoning in a variety of sixteenth-century dramatic contexts. The result is an original account of the foundational role that counsel played in the development of Renaissance drama. Lupić begins by considering the figure of Thomas More, whose influential argument about counsel as a form of performance in Utopia set the agenda for the entire century. Resisting linear narratives and recovering, instead, the simultaneity of radically different kinds of dramatic experience, he shows the vitality of later dramatic engagements with More's legacy through an analysis of the moral interlude staged within Sir Thomas More, a play possibly coauthored by Shakespeare. More also helps explain the complex use of counsel in Senecan drama, from the neo-Latin plays of George Buchanan, discussed in connection with Buchanan's political writings, to the historical tragedies of the mid-sixteenth century. If tyranny and exemplarity are the keywords for early Elizabethan drama of counsel, for the plays of Christopher Marlowe it is friendship. Lupić considers Marlowe's interest in friendship and counsel, most notably in Edward II, alongside earlier dramatic treatments, thus exposing the pervasive fantasy of the ideal counselor as another self. Subjects of Advice concludes by placing King Lear in relation to its dramatic sources to demonstrate Shakespeare's deliberate dispersal of counsel throughout his play. Counsel's customary link to plain and fearless speech becomes in Shakespeare's hands a powerful instrument of poetic and dramatic expression.

Book Synopsis A Marriage Below Zero by : Alan Dale
Download or read book A Marriage Below Zero written by Alan Dale and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2021-04-23 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Marriage Below Zero (1889) is a novel by Alan Dale. Recognized as one of the first English language novels to openly depict homosexuality, the novel is a poignant study of the institution of marriage and the policing of desire in Victorian England. Rejected by contemporary critics as “unconventional” for its depiction of “monstrous forms of human voice,” A Marriage Below Zero would later earn Dale a reputation as a pioneering author whose exploration of homosexual romance, however tragic its consequences, set the stage for generations of artists to come. “He reddened slightly. ‘Captain Dillington always enjoys himself,’ he said quietly. ‘He is very happy in society." [...] ‘How rarely you find two really sincere friends,’ I remarked, rather sentimentally. ‘The present time seems to be wonderfully unsuited to such a tie.’ ‘That is true’—very laconically. ‘I think there is nothing so beautiful as friendship,’ I went on, with persistence. ‘You have heard of Damon and Pythias,’ he said quickly, reading me like a book. I blushed deeply and was then furiously angry with myself. ‘I don't mind,’ he went on. ‘Make all the fun of us you like.’” Referring to the ancient Greek story of Damon and Pythias, whose names became synonymous with ideal male friendship, Elsie shows herself to be rather naïve regarding the nature of Arthur Ravener’s relationship with Captain Dillington. Despite this lack of clarity, Elsie Bouverie finds herself attracted to the handsome young man, and soon they are married. As she begins to grow suspicious about his sexual appetites, she hires a private investigator to follow the two friends, unwittingly welcoming tragedy into their lives. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Alan Dale’s A Marriage Below Zero is a classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers.
