Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Wretched Splendour is a full-length stage play in two acts. Seven bored and demoralised survivors in a Flanders trench in 1916 find their lives transformed by the arrival of a new officer, David Cartwright. With his bright charisma and subversive approach to authority he inspires them to face their seemingly inevitable fate with courage, high-spirited stoicism and a sanguine sense of humour - the only defence against a bleak and mindless war. This new edition of This Wretched Splendour includes a one-act play, Wild With All Regrets, an evocative biographical drama woven from the words and experiences of Wilfred Owen on the Western Front. "The standard first world war play is still RC Sherriff's Journey's End. But Rebecca Wilby, a 29-year-old from Cheltenham, knocks it into a cocked hat with This Wretched Splendour. Where Sherriff's play is steeped in the public-school ethos, this one conveys the eccentric humanity and the tragedy of life at the front line." Michael Billington, The Guardian

Book Synopsis London Assurance by : Dion Boucicault
Download or read book London Assurance written by Dion Boucicault and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-06-13 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dion Boucicault was a witty, selfish and deceitful charmer, a bigamist, a profligate spendthrift and the author of dozens of successful plays, only a handful of which endure. Among these his early comedies influenced Oscar Wilde, and his Irish melodramas Shaw, Synge, and O'Casey. London Assurance was his first success, a 'modern comedy' which opened at Covent Garden in 1841 and was the hit of the season. This is the first fully-annotated edition of the play, and it includes an outline of the author's amazing career, an account of the play's composition, and a critical introduction.

Book Synopsis City of Lingering Splendor by : John Blofeld
Download or read book City of Lingering Splendor written by John Blofeld and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2001-05-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his early twenties, John Blofeld spent what he describes as "three exquisitely happy years" in Peking during the era of the last emperor, when the breathtaking greatness of China's ancient traditions was still everywhere evident. Arriving in 1934, he found a city imbued with the atmosphere of the recent imperial past and haunted by the powerful spirit of the late Dowager Empress Tzu Hsi. He entered a world of magnificent palaces and temples of the Forbidden City, of lotus-covered lakes and lush pleasure-gardens, of bustling bazaars and peaceful bathhouses, and of "flower houses" with their beautiful young courtesans versed in the arts of pleasing men. With a novelists' command of detail and dialogue, Blofeld vividly re-creates the magic of these years and conveys to the reader his appreciation and nostalgia for a way of life long vanished.
Book Synopsis Studies on The Gita by : Chandan Sukumar Sengupta
Download or read book Studies on The Gita written by Chandan Sukumar Sengupta and published by Chandan Sukumar Sengupta. This book was released on with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On The Basis of Lectures on The Bhagavadgita delivered by Acharya Vinoba Bhave. The work, titled The Bhagavadgita as taken out from Bhishma Parva of the Mahabharata is dated to the second half of first Millenium BCE. Situation of war developed during the Epic age when Kuru princes refused to deliver rights to Pandavas; which led to exhibit fellow prince Arjun to declare war against Kuru Princes; after getting assembled at the battle filed the fellow prince Arjun started thinking about ultimate fate of the war; as such war would bring calamities in the form of death and loss of properties; as such war was going to claim lives of relatives, masters and Kuru Princes; as such war was developing by rejecting doctrines of peace, nonviolence and brotherhood. Considering all these results in advance Arjun, the fellow warrior from Pandava’s side, became emotionally preoccupied with dilemma. Masterly instruction duly issued to him suggested to deliver duty of a warrior amidst the battle field for ensuring victory of wise people by destroying the brute. It was the timely instruction issued to the fellow warrior which made them contented and aware of the real fate of life after death; for such instructions equipped the fellow prince in identifying duty of a person in society; for such instructions enabled the fellow aspirant to recognise real nature of the self (Aham) alongside omnipresence of the Divine (Paramatma); for such instructions enabled the fellow Yogi to recognise the nature of Soul force which remains free from three dimensions of quality parameters; for timely instructions delivered by the fellow master was fruitful in removing dilemma and diffusing illutions; for all kinds of instructions aimed finally towards “Knowing Thyself” . Wide range of instructions accommodated in the Gita covers a broad range of spiritual topics, touching upon moral and ethical dilemmas, and philosophical issues that go far beyond the war of Epic Age. This volume of publication is prepared to promote studies on The Gita on the basis of “Talks on Rhe Gita” delivered by Acharya Vinoba during freedom struggle. It also exhibits relevance of teachings of The Bhagavadgita in modern time. .
