Ezeulu, headstrong chief priest of the god Ulu, is worshipped by the six villages of Umuaro.

As the citizens of an unnamed Caribbean nation creep through the corridors of the presidential palace in search of their tyrannical leader, they cannot comprehend that the frail and withered man laying dead on the floor can be the self-styled General of the Universe. Their egocentric, maniacally violent leader, known for serving up traitors to dinner guests and drowning young children at sea, can surely not die the humiliating death of a mere mortal?

Summary/Abstract |
1919. Lewis, was the first American to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Possibly the greatest satirist of his age, Lewis wrote novels that present a devastating picture of middle-class American life in the 1920s. Although he ridiculed the values, the lifestyles, and even the speech of his characters, there is often affection behind the irony. Lewis began his career as a journalist, editor, and hack writer. He became an important literary figure with the publication of Main Street. His seventh novel, Babbitt, is considered by many critics to be his greatest work. The story follows George Babbitt, a middle-aged realtor who is unimaginative, self-important, and hopelessly middle class. Vaguely dissatisfied with his position, he tries to alter the pattern of his life by flirting with liberalism and by having an affair with an attractive widow, only to find that his dread of ostracism is greater than his desire for escape.

Summary/Abstract |
A drama about the cult of Dionysus, the vine god, which involved orgiastic and frenzied nature rites.
The king of Thebes, Pentheus, imprisons Dionysus when the latter, in disguise, attempts to propagate his cult among the women of Thebes. This thwarting of a God's will leads to catastrophe. The play is a probing into man's psychological makeup and understanding of himself.
