Book Synopsis The Falstaff Chronicles by : William Shakespeare
Download or read book The Falstaff Chronicles written by William Shakespeare and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-03-25 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This play weaves together various scenes from 'Henry IV Parts 1 and 2', 'Henry V' and 'The Merry Wives of Windsor' and, with some additional material, creates a unique adaptation which keeps the language and spirit of the original Shakespeare. Ever since his first appearance in the 1590s, Falstaff has always been a popular character. Hypocrite, coward, drunkard, rogue - what's not to like about him? He has inspired re-creations in opera, film and prose, and in this new stage adaptation Falstaff appears as an old soldier fallen on hard times but with few scruples about robbing, lying and cheating his way through life in order to acquire some money and prestige. When his drinking partner, the Prince of Wales, becomes king, Falstaff's customary flights of fancy take hold and he imagines the laws of England at his command. But the reality is that the new king turns into the consummate politician, starting a war to bolster his reputation and to get the rival factions of the kingdom to unite against a common enemy - the French. Falstaff has to face his old friend's rejection, after which there are unexpected consequences. 'The Falstaff Chronicles' should appeal to a wide range of people, especially those who are new to Shakespeare.
Download or read book Falstaff written by Harold Bloom and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Harold Bloom writes about Falstaff with the deepest compassion and sympathy and also with unerring wisdom. He uses the relationship between Falstaff and Hal to explore the devastation of severed bonds and the heartbreak of betrayal. Just as we encounter one type of Anna Karenina or Jay Gatsby when we are young adults and another when we are middle-aged, Bloom writes about his own shifting understanding of Falstaff over the course of his lifetime. Ultimately we come away with a deeper appreciation of this profoundly complex character, and the book as a whole becomes an extraordinarily moving argument for literature as a path to and a measure of our humanity"--Publisher's description.

Kris's best friend Vi, who writes vampire romances, jumps at the chance to interview a real vampire. Fellow psychologist and paranormal cult expert Bram von Helsing also would love to meet an actual vampire. Kris remains skeptical, thinking she's just encountered one of San Francisco's many sanity-challenged individuals. Then in an attack of spine-tingling horror a horde of murderous monsters descend on the San Francisco neighborhood. Faced with creatures that kill with a single glance, Kris and everyone she cares about must fight for their lives. But how? In this dark fantasy with urban paranormal attitude, the only chance of survival for Kris and her friends is to seek help from the biggest bad boy in tavern-haunting history, who once drank ale and now drinks only blood—Sir John Falstaff, undead and misbehaving in San Francisco.

Book Synopsis The Real Falstaff by : Stephen Cooper
Download or read book The Real Falstaff written by Stephen Cooper and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2011-02-23 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historical study examines the life and military accomplishments of the medieval knight who inspired one of Shakespeare’s most beloved characters. One of the most famous English knights of the Hundred Years War, Sir John Fastolf is widely thought to be a model for Shakespeare’s immortal character, Sir John Falstaff. In The Real Falstaff, historian Stephen Cooper examines the link in full, shedding light on his story as well as the declining English fortunes during the last phase of the Hundred Years War. Witnessing both the triumphs of Henry V, and the disasters of the 1450s, Fastolf was one of the last of the brave but often brutal English soldiers who made their careers waging war in France. Cooper retraces the entire course of Fastolf’s long life, putting special focus on his many campaigns. A vivid picture of the old soldier emerges and of the French wars in which he played such a prominent part. But the author also explores Fastolf’s legacy, his connection to the Paston family—famous for the Paston letters—and the use Shakespeare made of Fastolf’s name, career, and character when he created Sir John Falstaff.
Download or read book Weaver's Folly written by Sarah Madsen and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-11 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alyssa D'Yaragen is just an elf trying to make ends meet. Thankfully, working as a freelance thief - a runner by the street name Lysistrata-pays more than she would make in a month selling cell phones to retropunks at her antique shop. Though she's low-tech, she has an advantage over her fellow larcenists. She has magic. Logan Turner, a techie and fellow runner, offers to bring her in on a high paying run stealing data from megacorporation Americorp. She accepts, partially for the payout, mostly for the challenge. Things get complicated, though, when her ex-boyfriend Tristan McCullough shows up with apologies-and, infuriatingly, the perfect recon opportunity for the Americorp job. Adding more fuel to the bad-decision fire is the mysterious Seraphina Dubhan, and Alyssa finds herself falling hard for the enigmatic elf. But when Alyssa suddenly becomes the target of mystical attacks, things stop being about the money and become all about survival. With others caught in the crossfire, she needs to find and stop the attacker before the Americorp job is ruined and she-or one of her friends-pays the ultimate price.
