Julius Caesar - William Shakespeare - Bog - HarperCollins Publishers - Plusbog.dk

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.Power, corruption and betrayal are at the heart of Shakespeare’s most well-known historical and political drama.

Caesar’s assassination leads to civil war rather than peace and the play explores the subsequent deaths of the conspirators Brutus and Cassius.Shakespeare’s contemporaries would have spotted the playwright’s attempts to use the shift from republican to imperial Rome to highlight the political situation of the Elizabethans at the time. Featuring some of the most powerfully resonant and rousing speeches of any of Shakespeare’s plays, Julius Caesar remains one of his most well-loved historical tragedies.

What If the Queen Should Die? - John Paul Flintoff - Bog - Boundless Publishing Group Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Windsor Castle. 1714. Queen Anne is nearing the end of a life filled with tragedy and grief: plagued by illness and cursed by her father to lose all 17 of her children, she now lies dying with no living heir. The question of succession is thick in the air. Will it be James Stuart, the half-brother she has always refused to acknowledge? Or George of Hanover, the cousin who once turned her down for marriage? Neither is ideal: she hates them both. Over the course of one night at the Queen’s Elizabethan ball, courtiers, politicians and ladies’ maids alike seize the opportunity to steer the succession to their own advantage, changing the course of history forever. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to them, imperial spy Daniel Defoe creeps through the castle gathering intelligence on their every move for the Earl of Oxford. Before the night is over, Queen Anne will finally have to face the past—for nothing can be resolved until she comes to terms with her children’s deaths and repairs the terrible wrong she committed many years before…

Antony and Cleopatra - William Shakespeare - Bog - Wordsworth Editions Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex. Antony and Cleopatra is one of Shakespeare''s greatest tragedies: a spectacular, widely-ranging drama of love and war, passion and politics. Antony is divided between the responsibilities of imperial power and the intensities of his sexual relationship with Cleopatra. She, variously generous and ruthless, loving and jealous, petulant and majestic, emerges as Shakespeare''s most complex depiction of a woman: ‘Age cannot wither her, nor custom staleHer infinite variety.’ Unsurpassed in sumptous eloquence and powerful characterisation, Anthony and Cleopatra deservedly retains its popularity in the theatre. Its insights into the corruptions of power and the ambiguities of desire remain timely. This volume is part of the Wordsworth Classics'' Shakespeare Series, in which each volume has been edited by Cedric Watts. Readers wishing to know more of Cedric Watts’ work should buy his ‘Shakespeare Puzzles’, published by PublishNation (ISBN 978-1-291-66410-2), available from Amazon (both in printed and Kindle editions) and through all good bookshops.

BRUGT BOG - Gardens of the Moon - Steven Erikson - Bog - Tor Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

BRUGT BOG Vast legions of gods, mages, humans, dragons and all manner of creatures play out the fate of the Malazan Empire in this first book in a major epic fantasy series from Steven Erikson. The Malazan Empire simmers with discontent, bled dry by interminable warfare, bitter infighting and bloody confrontations with the formidable Anomander Rake and his Tiste Andii, ancient and implacable sorcerers. Even the imperial legions, long inured to the bloodshed, yearn for some respite. Yet Empress Laseen''s rule remains absolute, enforced by her dread Claw assassins. For Sergeant Whiskeyjack and his squad of Bridgeburners, and for Tattersail, surviving cadre mage of the Second Legion, the aftermath of the siege of Pale should have been a time to mourn the many dead. But Darujhistan, last of the Free Cities of Genabackis, yet holds out. It is to this ancient citadel that Laseen turns her predatory gaze. However, it would appear that the Empire is not alone in this great game. Sinister, shadowbound forces are gathering as the gods themselves prepare to play their hand... Conceived and written on a panoramic scale, Gardens of the Moon is epic fantasy of the highest order--an enthralling adventure by an outstanding new voice.

Nation og stat, identitet og fortælling - Carsten Humlebæk (red.) - Bog - Samfundslitteratur - Plusbog.dk

Spørgsmål som hvem er jeg? eller hvem er vi? bliver stadigt mere påtrængende i en globaliseret verden. Både individet og kollektivet udfordres hele tiden og udvikles i mødet med andre livsformer og nye kulturer. Denne bog handler om nationale identiteter og de fortællinger, der danner basis for dem: Hvad udgør sådanne identiteter? Hvordan kan man undersøge dem? Hvordan opbygges og manifesterer de sig i specifikke tilfælde? Hvilke fællesskabsbehov søger man at udfylde ved dyrkelsen af forskellige identiteter? Bogens to dele fokuserer på hhv. en teoretisk og begrebsmæssig afklaring samt en række casestudier. I bogens første del bringes begreber som identitet, kollektiv identitet, national identitet og national branding i anvendelse. Bogens anden del beskæftiger sig med, hvordan identitetsproblematikker manifesterer sig i en række konkrete sammenhænge. Herunder: - Fortællingen om fredens Europa som et problematisk fundament for det europæiske fællesskab - Den historiske romans rolle i nationsopbygningsaktiviteterne i de europæiske lande i det 19. århundrede - Udvikling af en selvstændig engelsk national identitet, kendetegnet ved både at adskille sig fra de øvrige nationaliteter på de Britiske Øer og den britiske overidentitet - Fortællinger og modfortællinger om en fælles imperial fortid i de postsovjetiske stater, og hvordan disse både kan ses som udtryk for og reproduktion af nogle dybtliggende konflikter mellem stater og folk .
