Have you seen to-day's paper? Well, then you know the pranks these American sailors have been up to again. The rascally pack are turning the whole town upside down. Not a night passes without some brawling in the taverns or the streets--not to speak of other abominations. Aune. Yes, they certainly are a bad lot. Bernick. And who is it that has to bear the blame for all this disorder? It is I! Yes, it is I who have to suffer for it. These newspaper fellows are making all sorts of covert insinuations because we are devoting all our energies to the "Palm Tree." I, whose task in life it is to influence my fellow-citizens by the force of example, have to endure this sort of thing cast in my face. I am not going to stand that. I have no fancy for having my good name smirched in that way. Aune. Your name stands high enough to endure that and a great deal more, sir. Bernick. Not just now. At this particular moment I have need of all the respect and goodwill my fellowcitizens can give me. I have a big undertaking on the stocks, as you probably have heard; but, if it should happen that evil-disposed persons succeeded in shaking the absolute confidence I enjoy, it might land me in the greatest difficulties. That is why I want, at any price, to avoid these shameful innuendoes in the papers, and that is why I name the day after to-morrow as the limit of the time I can give you. Aune. Mr. Bernick, you might just as well name this afternoon as the limit. Bernick. You mean that I am asking an impossibility? Aune. Yes, with the hands we have now at the yard. Bernick. Very good; then we must look about elsewhere. Aune. Do you really mean, sir, to discharge still more of your old workmen? Bernick. No, I am not thinking of that. Aune....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pretenders, and Two Other Plays The three plays translated in the present volume illustrate three very different and characteristic phases of Ibsen's genius. The stirring historical drama, The Pretenders, which appeared in 1864 and was his first really great achievement, was written at white heat when Ibsen was five-and-thirty and his intellectual powers were just touching their full development. Pillars of Society, which was completed in 1877, was the earliest of the "social dramas" on which his fame will always mainly rest, and betrays some signs of experiment. In it the dramatist has not yet quite found his feet on the ground which he trod with the triumphant assurance of a master by the time Rosmersholm, which is typical of his intellectual power at its highest, appeared in 1886. The Pretenders was written while Ibsen was still in Christiania, previous to his long voluntary exile from Norway. He had, some years before, been attracted by the subject of the historical struggle between Haakon and Skule for the crown; and circumstances now seemed to conspire (or, at least, Ibsen seems to have thought so) to give him a clearer insight into the conflict of character between the two heroes. The rough handling which his countrymen had accorded to his last play, Love's Comedy, and the small advance he had been able (in spite of the growth of his powers) to make in popular estimation, contrasted cruelly in his eyes with the rapidly increasing popularity of his friend and rival, Bjornson, who was advancing from success to success with serene confidence. These were the circumstances that enabled Ibsen to portray so vividly in The Pretenders Skule's anxious craving for success, and the conflict between his torturing lack of self-confidence and his uneasy consciousness that Haakon's success, though easier, was deserved.

Book excerpt: Chrissie Hynde, for nearly four decades the singer/songwriter/ undisputed leader of the Pretenders, is a justly legendary figure. Few other rock stars have managed to combine her swagger, sexiness, stage presence, knack for putting words to music, gorgeous voice and just all-around kick-assedness into such a potent and alluring package. From “Tatooed Love Boys” and “Brass in Pocket” to “Talk of the Town” and “Back on the Chain Gang,” her signature songs project a unique mixture of toughness and vulnerability that millions of men and women have related to. A kind of one- woman secret tunnel linking punk and new wave to classic guitar rock, she is one of the great luminaries in rock history. Now, in her no-holds-barred memoir Reckless, Chrissie Hynde tells, with all the fearless candor, sharp humor and depth of feeling we’ve come to expect, exactly where she came from and what her crooked, winding path to stardom entailed. Her All-American upbringing in Akron, Ohio, a child of postwar power and prosperity. Her soul capture, along with tens of millions of her generation, by the gods of sixties rock who came through Cleveland—Mitch Ryder, David Bowie, Jeff Back, Paul Butterfield and Iggy Pop among them. Her shocked witness in 1970 to the horrific shooting of student antiwar protestors at Kent State. Her weakness for the sorts of men she calls “the heavy bikers” and “the get-down boys.” Her flight from Ohio to London in 1973 essentially to escape the former and pursue the latter. Her scuffling years as a brash reviewer for New Musical Express, shop girl at the Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood boutique 'Craft Must Wear Clothes But The Truth Loves To Go Naked', first-hand witness to the birth of the punk movement, and serial band aspirant. And then ,at almost the last possible moment, her meeting of the three musicians who comprised the original line-up of The Pretenders, their work on the indelible first album “The Pretenders,” and the rocket ride to “Instant” stardom, with all the disorientation and hazards that involved. The it all comes crashing back down to earth with the deaths of lead guitarist James Honeyman Scott and bassist Peter Farndon, leaving her bruised and saddened, but far from beaten. Because Chrissie Hynde is, among other things, one of rock’s great survivors. We are lucky to be living in a golden age of great rock memoirs. In the aptly titled Reckless, Chrissie Hynde has given us one of the very best we have. Her mesmerizing presence radiates from every line and page of this book.

Book excerpt: A New York Times Bestseller! Don't miss the series debut that readers are calling Gossip Girl meets The Umbrella Academy, set in an elite boarding school, where secret societies rule, nothing is as it seems, and the genetic copies of attending students have just joined the Junior class... This fall, six new students are joining the junior class at the elite Darkwood Academy. But they aren't your regular over-achieving teens. They're DNA duplicates, and these "similars" are joining the class alongside their originals. The Similars are all anyone can talk about. Who are they? What are the odds that all of them would be Darkwood students? And who is the madman who broke the law to create them? Emmaline Chance could care less. Her best friend, Oliver, died over the summer and it's all she can do to get through each day without him. Then she comes face-to-heartbreaking-face with Levi, Oliver's exact DNA copy and one of the Similars. Emma wants nothing to do with the Similars, but she keeps getting pulled deeper into their world. She can't escape the dark truths about them or her prestigious school. No one can be trusted, not even the boy she is falling for with Oliver's face. This exhilarating and riveting debut by Rebecca Hanover is the next obsession for readers who devoured Two Can Keep a Secret, One of Us Is Lying, Scythe, and Stronger, Faster, and More Beautiful.
