Volpone, Or, The Fox - Ben Jonson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Volpone, Or, The Fox - Ben Jonson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Volpone, Or, The Fox is Ben Jonson’s great parable of greed, self-interest and inheritance. Using animal fable to satirize the wealthy and the greedy, it remains one of his most distinctive and compelling dramatic works.Jonson wrote the play for performance in 1606, and orchestrated its publication the following year. In it, the wealthy Venetian Volpone pretends to be on his deathbed, encouraging Voltore, Corbaccio and Corvino—the vulture, raven and crow—to compete for his fortune. With unflinching harshness and biting humour, Jonson portrays a society damningly hollowed out by over-monetization.This edition has been prepared by leading textual expert, John Jowett. With incisive scholarship, he explores the play’s craftsmanship and examines how theatre practitioners and critics engage with it. Detailed notes explicate an authoritative text and breathe new life into it for readers today. Arden Early Modern Drama editions offer the best in contemporary scholarship, providing a wealth of helpful and incisive commentary to guide the reader through a deeper understanding and appreciation of the play.This edition provides: A clear and authoritative text Detailed on-page commentary notes A comprehensive, illustrated introduction to the play’shistorical, cultural and performance contexts A bibliography of references and further reading

Ben Ammi Ben Israel - Michael Miller - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Ben Ammi Ben Israel - Michael Miller - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This text introduces Ben Ammi, the leader and theologian of the African Hebrew Israelite community, as a systematic thinker and theologian. It examines his many books and speeches in order to provide a comprehensive introduction to his thought in the context of both African American and Jewish contemporaries and precursors.Divided into three thematic sections, History, Law, and Language, the text introduces Ben Ammi’s understanding of the nature of God, the responsibilities of the human, and the narrative of history. Ben Ammi was a deeply spiritual but also remarkably modern thinker who blended scientific thought into his evolving socio-theology, while seeking to remove religion from the realm of mythology. The book evaluates how Ben Ammi’s theology is one bound to concepts of humility and learning how to go with the grain of the natural world in order to find humanity’s true center as a part of nature.

Double Cross - Ben Macintyre - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

''Addictive and deeply moving'' Independent ''Utterly gripping'' Anthony Beevor, Daily Telegraph ''Enthralling . . . A reminder that heroism can be found in the most unlikely places'' Evening Standard ''I have seldom enjoyed a spy story more than this one'' Max Hastings, Sunday Times _____________________ D-Day, 6 June 1944, the turning point of the Second World War, was a victory of arms. But it was also a triumph for a different kind of operation: one of deceit . . .At the heart of the deception was the ''Double Cross System'', a team of double agents whose bravery, treachery, greed and inspiration succeeded in convincing the Nazis that Calais and Norway, not Normandy, were the targets of the 150,000-strong Allied invasion force. Under the direction of an eccentric but brilliant intelligence officer in tartan trousers, working from a smoky lair in St James''s, these spies would weave a web of deception so intricate that it ensnared Hitler''s army and helped to carry thousands of troops across the Channel in safety.These double agents were, variously, brave, treacherous, fickle, greedy and inspired. They were not conventional warriors, but their masterpiece of deceit saved countless lives. Their codenames were Bronx, Brutus, Treasure, Tricycle and Garbo. And this is their story.

Careful the Spell You Cast - Dr. Ben Francis - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Careful the Spell You Cast - Dr. Ben Francis - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Stephen Sondheim is one of the best-known and most-loved musical theatre composers, but also one of the most misunderstood, often being labelled as ''distant'' or ''cynical''. Careful the Spell You Cast instead argues that Sondheim firmly belongs to the Broadway aspirational tradition, in that many of his characters are defined by their dreams: to abandon one''s dream (as Ben does in Follies , Frank does in Merrily We Roll Along , and Addison does in Road Show ) is to lose one''s soul. Rather than take the established view of Sondheim as a cynic, this book contends that throughout Sondheim''s work, letting go of one''s illusions is a process that his characters need to go through, that they must cast off illusions and false dreams, without becoming cynical and destroying their genuine dreams in the process. In turn this view aligns Sondheim''s work as being aspirational and a logical continuation from the work of his mentor, Oscar Hammerstein II. Following the trajectory of Sondheim''s career, Careful the Spell You Cast shows how Sondheim has dramatized this process throughout his writing life alongside different collaborators. From his work as a lyricist with the musicals Gypsy and West Side Story through to his later collaborations with Hal Prince ( Company, Follies ) and James Lapine ( Into the Woods, Sunday in the Park with George ), this book reframes the established view through lyrical and structural analysis in relation to the characters within each of these celebrated works of musical theatre, arguing that Sondheim is, in the popular sense of the word, a romantic within the tradition of the Broadway musical.

The Panzers of Prokhorovka - Dr. Ben (university Of East Anglia Wheatley - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Panzers of Prokhorovka - Dr. Ben (university Of East Anglia Wheatley - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

A ground-breaking new study that transforms our understanding of one of the most famous battles of the Second World War, widely mythologized as the largest tank battle in history. Today in Russia there are three official sacred battlefields: Kulikovo, where the Mongols were defeated in 1380; Borodino, where Russian troops slowed Napoleon''s Grande Armée before Moscow in 1812; the third is Prokhorovka, where the Soviet annihilation of Hitler''s elite SS Panzer force on 12 July 1943 in the largest armoured clash in history has traditionally been described as a key turning point in the war.The Panzers of Prokhorovka challenges this narrative. The battle was indeed an important Soviet victory, but a very different one to that described above. Based on ground-breaking archival research and supported by previously unpublished images of the battlefield, Ben Wheatley argues that German armoured losses were in fact negligible and a fresh approach is required to understand Prokhorovka. This book tackles the many myths that have built up over the years, and presents a new analysis of this famous engagement.
