As You Like It - William Shakespeare
This Wordsworth Edition includes an exclusive Introduction and Notes by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex.As You Like It is one of Shakespeareâ ™s finest romantic comedies, variously lyrical, melancholy, satiric, comic and absurd. Its boldly implausible plot generates a profusion of love-lorn men, a resourceful heroine in disguise, sexual ambiguity, sceptical philosophising, and finally a multiplicity of marriages. The ironic medley of pastoral artifice, romantic ardour and quizzical reflection has helped to make As You Like It perennially popular in the theatre. A recent production was deemed â ˜fresh, funny, sexy and, when it matters, deeply touchingâ ™. As You Like It is part of the Wordsworth Classicsâ ™ Shakespeare Series, used in the workshops of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Every volume in the series has been newly edited by Cedric Watts, described by Edward Said as â ˜a man for whom the enjoyment and enrichment of friends and students is the main consideration in what he doesâ ™.

As You Like it - Robert Shaughnessy
This book examines the modern performance history of one of Shakespeare #39;s best-loved and most enduring comedies, and one that has given opportunities for generations of theatre-makers and theatre-goers to explore the pleasures of pastoral, gender masquerade and sexual ambiguity. Powered by Shakespeare #39;s greatest female comic role, the play invites us into a deeply English woodland that has also been richly imagined as a space of dreams. The study retrieves the untold stories of stage productions in Britain, France and Germany, which include Royal Shakespeare Company productions starring Vanessa Redgrave, Eileen Atkins and Juliet Stevenson, the ground-breaking all-male productions at the National Theatre in 1967 and by Cheek by Jowl in 1992, and the versions directed by Jacques Copeau in Paris in 1934, and by Peter Stein in Berlin in 1977. It also addresses the four major screen versions of the play, ranging from Paul Czinner #39;s 1936 film to Kenneth Branagh #39;s seventy years later.

Religion Is Not Done with You - Ilyse Morgenstein Fuerst, Megan Goodwin
A smart, irreverent, and accessible guide to thinking more deeply about how religion permeates and shapes the world around us –and why you need to understand the work it s doingReligion lurks in the floorboards of our daily lives, whether we want it to or not. A departure from more traditional approaches to Religion 101, Religion Is Not Done with You gives thought-provoking context to the basics of religious studies by challenging readers to consider the origins of their assumptions about religion and broaden their perspectives on what religion is and does.Religion scholars and Keeping It 101 podcast duo Ilyse Morgenstein Fuerst and Megan Goodwin offer their straightforward, plainspoken overviews of religious studies theory: that religion is what people do (not just beliefs or individual practices); that people are complicated and messy and constantly changing, which means religion is also complicated and messy and constantly changing; that religion shapes what choices you get to make. Choices like what you can learn in school; how your government works; what kind of options you have (or increasingly don’t have) in caring for your own body.Sure, you have the choice to participate in religion or not. But how you make that choice builds on your entire personal history, your connection to communities and regions, and the systems that surround you. All of which have been shaped by religion.Religion is systems and structures and assumptions we didn’t create or choose – and, to be honest, we might not even like or agree with. You can feel however you want to feel about religion, but religion is shaping your world whether you like it or not. And if you don’t like how religion is shaping our world? This book might just be your first step in diagnosing the problems and agitating for positive change. Even if you are done with religion, religion is not done with you.

Holly - Stephen King
Holly Gibney, one of Stephen King’s most compelling and ingeniously resourceful characters, returns in this thrilling novel to solve the gruesome truth behind multiple disappearances in a Midwestern town. Stephen King’s Holly marks the triumphant return of beloved King character Holly Gibney. Readers have witnessed Holly’s gradual transformation from a shy (but also brave and ethical) recluse in Mr Mercedes to Bill Hodges’s partner in Finders Keepers to a full-fledged, smart, and occasionally tough private detective in The Outsider. In King’s new novel, Holly is on her own, and up against a pair of unimaginably depraved and brilliantly disguised adversaries. When Penny Dahl calls the Finders Keepers detective agency hoping for help locating her missing daughter, Holly is reluctant to accept the case. Her partner, Pete, has Covid. Her (very complicated) mother has just died. And Holly is meant to be on leave. But something in Penny Dahl’s desperate voice makes it impossible for Holly to turn her down. Mere blocks from where Bonnie Dahl disappeared live Professors Rodney and Emily Harris. They are the picture of bourgeois respectability: married octogenarians, devoted to each other, and semi-retired lifelong academics. But they are harbouring an unholy secret in the basement of their well-kept, book-lined home, one that may be related to Bonnie’s disappearance. And it will prove nearly impossible to discover what they are up to: they are savvy, they are patient, and they are ruthless. Holly must summon all her formidable talents to outthink and outmanoeuvre the shockingly twisted professors in this chilling new masterwork from Stephen King. ‘I could never let Holly Gibney go. She was supposed to be a walk-on character in Mr Mercedes and she just kind of stole the book and stole my heart. Holly is all her.’ - Stephen King

Čím temnější, tím lepší - Stephen King
Legendární vypravěč Stephen King přináší mimořádnou sbírku dvanácti krátkých příběhů, z nichž mnohé nebyly dosud nikdy publikovány a patří k jeho nejlepším povídkám vůbec.„Máte to rádi temnější? Fajn, já taky,“ píše Stephen King v doslovu ke své nové sbírce dvanácti povídek, jejichž tématem jsou temné stránky života – přeneseně i doslova. King byl odjakživa povídkovým mistrem a několikastránkovým příběhem dokáže uchvátit stejně jako svými slavnými romány. Zavede čtenáře do snů plných zlých předtuch, do podivných koutů reality, kde se může stát cokoli, nebo na Floridu, kde se tentokrát odehrává volné pokračování legendárního hororu Cujo.Dva talentovaní bastardi zkoumají dlouho skrývané tajemství původu jejich výjimečných schopností. Ve Zlém snu Dannyho Coughlina jakýsi krátký a tajemný záblesk převrátí naruby desítky životů, z nichž ten Dannyho je nejkatastrofálnější. V Chřestýšovi, pokračování románu Cujo, se truchlící vdovec vydává na Floridu, aby si odpočinul, a místo toho dostane nečekané dědictví – ale s velkými závazky. V povídce Snílci odpoví mlčenlivý veterán z Vietnamu na inzerát a zjistí, že některé kouty vesmíru je lepší neprozkoumávat. Odpovídač se zase ptá, zda je předvídavost štěstí, nebo smůla, a připomíná nám, že i život poznamenaný nesnesitelnou tragédií může mít stále smysl.

Never Flinch - Stephen King
Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2025 by The New York Times Book Review, AV Club, Variety, The Boston Globe, The Minnesota Star Tribune, Vulture, Men’s Health, Book Riot, New York Post, Goodreads, AARP, Paste, and more! From master storyteller Stephen King comes an extraordinary new novel with intertwining storylines—one about a killer on a diabolical revenge mission, and another about a vigilante targeting a feminist celebrity speaker—featuring the beloved Holly Gibney and a dynamic new cast of characters.When the Buckeye City Police Department receives a disturbing letter from a person threatening to “kill thirteen innocents and one guilty” in “an act of atonement for the needless death of an innocent man,” Detective Izzy Jaynes has no idea what to think. Are fourteen citizens about to be slaughtered in an unhinged act of retribution? As the investigation unfolds, Izzy realizes that the letter writer is deadly serious, and she turns to her friend Holly Gibney for help. Meanwhile, controversial and outspoken women’s rights activist Kate McKay is embarking on a multi-state lecture tour, drawing packed venues of both fans and detractors. Someone who vehemently opposes Kate’s message of female empowerment is targeting her and disrupting her events. At first, no one is hurt, but the stalker is growing bolder, and Holly is hired to be Kate’s bodyguard—a challenging task with a headstrong employer and a determined adversary driven by wrath and his belief in his own righteousness. Featuring a riveting cast of characters both old and new, including world-famous gospel singer Sista Bessie and an unforgettable villain addicted to murder, these twinned narratives converge in a chilling and spectacular conclusion—a feat of storytelling only Stephen King could pull off. Thrilling, wildly fun, and outrageously engrossing, Never Flinch is one of King’s richest and most propulsive novels.

Danse Macabre: Svět hororu - Stephen King
Knihu o hororu jako kulturním fenoménu napsal Stephen King s vervou a velkou láskou k tématu. Do podmanivého průvodce specifickým žánrem vložil pronikavé postřehy i upřímná vyznání, odhalil své zdroje inspirace a nabídl zasvěcené komentáře ke slavným i obskurním dílům, od Draculy po Záhadu Blair Witch. Proč jsou lidé ochotni utrácet tolik peněz, jen aby se dostali do stavu, který je jim mimořádně nepříjemný? Kdo jsou lidé, kteří horor vyhledávají? Čeho se vlastně bojíme? Proč tolik takzvaných hororových filmů prostě nefunguje? Stephen King si klade řadu otázek a nebojí se na ně odpovědět. Kniha je pro všechny, kteří horor nejen rádi čtou, ale také o něm přemýšlejí. A kdo jiný by byl lepším průvodcem ve světě horou než jeho král?

Dračí oči - Stephen King
Co uvidíte, když se budet na svět dívat očima draka? Bylo nebylo jedno království, dračí srdce, zlý čaroděj a princové. Jak už to v pohádkách bývá, střetnou se i tady sily dobra a zla, ale protože jde o magický svět stvořený Stephenem Kingem, můžete čekat i ledové sevření děsu a napětí, podobně jako v příběhu o Temné věži. Pohádku plnou králů, královen a kouzelníků psal autor původně pouze pro svou dceru Naomi. Tatínkovy děsivé horory ji příliš nezajímaly, nebyl by to však Stephen King, kdyby se do vyprávění nevložil naplno se vším, co umí. Výsledkem je klasicky kingovský napínavý příběh, jehož hrdinové, byť pohádkově typizovaní, cítí skutečnou radost, bolest i strach, a mistrně stupňované napětí čtenářům nedovolí knihu odložit do poslední stránky.

A place where the family could settle; the children grow and play and explore. The rolling hills and meadows of Maine seemed a world away from the fume-choked dangers of Chicago.Only the occasional big truck out on the two-lane highway, grinding up through the gears, hammering down the long gradients, growled out an intrusive threat.But behind the house and far away from the road: that was safe. Just a carefully cleared path up into the woods where generations of local children have processed with the solemn innocence of the young, taking with them their dear departed pets for burial.A sad place maybe, but safe.
