Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haile Selassie I, the last emperor of Ethiopia, was as brilliant as he was formidable. An early proponent of African unity and independence who claimed to be a descendant of King Solomon, he fought with the Allies against the Axis powers during World War II and was a messianic figure for the Jamaican Rastafarians. But the final years of his empire saw turmoil and revolution, and he was ultimately overthrown and assassinated in a communist coup. Written by Asfa-Wossen Asserate, Haile Selassie’s grandnephew, this is the first major biography of this final “king of kings.” Asserate, who spent his childhood and adolescence in Ethiopia before fleeing the revolution of 1974, knew Selassie personally and gained intimate insights into life at the imperial court. Introducing him as a reformer and an autocrat whose personal history—with all of its upheavals, promises, and horrors—reflects in many ways the history of the twentieth century itself, Asserate uses his own experiences and painstaking research in family and public archives to achieve a colorful and even-handed portrait of the emperor.

Book excerpt: Is King Lear an autonomous text, or a rewrite of the earlier and anonymous play King Leir? Should we refer to Shakespeare’s original quarto when discussing the play, the revised folio text, or the popular composite version, stitched together by Alexander Pope in 1725? What of its stage variations? When turning from page to stage, the critical view on King Lear is skewed by the fact that for almost half of the four hundred years the play has been performed, audiences preferred Naham Tate's optimistic adaptation, in which Lear and Cordelia live happily ever after. When discussing King Lear, the question of what comprises ‘the play’ is both complex and fragmentary. These issues of identity and authenticity across time and across mediums are outlined, debated, and considered critically by the contributors to this volume. Using a variety of approaches, from postcolonialism and New Historicism to psychoanalysis and gender studies, the leading international contributors to King Lear: New Critical Essays offer major new interpretations on the conception and writing, editing, and cultural productions of King Lear. This book is an up-to-date and comprehensive anthology of textual scholarship, performance research, and critical writing on one of Shakespeare's most important and perplexing tragedies. Contributors Include: R.A. Foakes, Richard Knowles, Tom Clayton, Cynthia Clegg, Edward L. Rocklin, Christy Desmet, Paul Cantor, Robert V. Young, Stanley Stewart and Jean R. Brink

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Paul writes in the New Testament that 'our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but...against the spirits of wickedness in the high places.' To the unhappy King Louis XVI of France, these words were particularly applicable. The play that has given its name to this volume of collected poetry presents the true tale of the only King of France who was tried and put to death by a revolutionary government that, at least in the world of the play, served as the unwitting scourge of God. The Enlightenment of the eighteenth century was animated by a rationalist Skepticism that in France especially militated against the Catholic Church. Because Louis and his two predecessors delayed in consecrating France to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Who to avert a catastrophe had requested the consecration through a devout French nun in 1689, on June 17, 1789, exactly one hundred years later, Louis XVI was challenged by the self-styled National Assembly, initiating the French Revolution. He was later stripped of his powers and guillotined like a criminal; France became engulfed in the horrors of the Revolutionary Terror. InThe Tragedy of King Lewis the Sixteenthwritten entirely in traditional blank verse, the author, David Lane, has revisited the Classic style, making use of the inexhaustible riches of the English language.

Book excerpt: ONE OF USA TODAY'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR • A riveting account of the crucial days, hours, and moments when the Watergate conspiracy consumed, and ultimately toppled, a president—from the best-selling author of One Minute to Midnight. In January 1973, Richard Nixon had just been inaugurated after winning re-election in a historic landslide. He enjoyed an almost 70 percent approval rating. But by April 1973, his presidency had fallen apart as the Watergate scandal metastasized into what White House counsel John Dean called “a full-blown cancer.” King Richard is the intimate, utterly absorbing narrative of the tension-packed hundred days when the Watergate conspiracy unraveled as the burglars and their handlers turned on one another, exposing the crimes of a vengeful president. Drawing on thousands of hours of newly-released taped recordings, Michael Dobbs takes us into the heart of the conspiracy, recreating these traumatic events in cinematic detail. He captures the growing paranoia of the principal players and their desperate attempts to deflect blame as the noose tightens around them. We eavesdrop on Nixon plotting with his aides, raging at his enemies, while also finding time for affectionate moments with his family. The result is an unprecedentedly vivid, close-up portrait of a president facing his greatest crisis. Central to the spellbinding drama is the tortured personality of Nixon himself, a man whose strengths, particularly his determination to win at all costs, become his fatal flaws. Rising from poverty to become the most powerful man in the world, he commits terrible errors of judgment that lead to his public disgrace. He makes himself—and then destroys himself. Structured like a classical tragedy with a uniquely American twist, King Richard is an epic, deeply human story of ambition, power, and betrayal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Tragedy of King Lear" by William Shakespeare is a profound exploration of family, power, and the human condition. Set in ancient Britain, the play follows the titular character, King Lear, as he divides his kingdom among his three daughters, Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia, based on their expressions of love for him. However, Lear's rash decision leads to chaos and tragedy as he is betrayed by those closest to him and descends into madness. At the heart of the play is Lear's journey from arrogance and folly to humility and self-awareness. As Lear's world unravels around him, he is forced to confront the consequences of his actions and the true nature of love and loyalty. Alongside Lear's story, the play explores themes of injustice, madness, and the destructive effects of unchecked ambition. The subplot involving Gloucester and his sons, Edgar and Edmund, further explores these themes, as Edmund's Machiavellian schemes lead to betrayal and tragedy within the family. The play's tragic conclusion leaves audiences contemplating the fragility of human relationships and the inevitability of suffering in the face of a chaotic and indifferent world. Through its rich language, complex characters, and timeless themes, "The Tragedy of King Lear" continues to captivate audiences with its searing portrayal of the human condition. Shakespeare's exploration of power, betrayal, and redemption offers profound insights into the complexities of the human psyche, making the play a timeless masterpiece that resonates with audiences across generations.
