| Summary/Abstract |
'Big Daddy' Pollitt, the richest cotton planter in the Mississippi Delta, is about to celebrate his sixty-fifth birthday. His two sons have returned home for the occasion: Gooper, his wife and children, Brick, an ageing football hero who has turned to drink, and his feisty wife Maggie. As the hot summer evening unfolds, the veneer of happy family life and Southern gentility gradually slips away as unpleasant truths emerge and greed, lies, jealousy and suppressed sexuality threaten to reach boiling point. Made into a film starring Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is a masterly portrayal of family tensions and individuals trapped in prisons of their own making.

| Summary/Abstract |
No philosopher has held a higher opinion of art than Hegel, yet none has been so profoundly pessimistic about its prospects - despite living in the German golden age of Goethe, Mozart and Schiller. Hegel believed that the artists of classical Greece had found the perfect fusion of content and form, but modern artists faced complicating - and ultimately disabling - questions. This book stands as a passionately argued work that challenged the ability of art to respond to the modern world.
Accompanied by an introduction and a commentary by Michael Inwood, which provides the ideal starting point for one of the most rewarding books every written on the theory of art.

Kalidasa was the most accomplished poet and playwright in classical Sanskrit literature.

At a party thrown by Lady Windermere, the story’s title-character, Lord Arthur Savile, is introduced to Mr Septimus R. Podgers, a cheiromantist or palm-reader. Podgers reads his palm and recoils when he sees what’s ‘written’ there, and only reluctantly reveals the truth to Lord Arthur: that he is destined to be a murderer. Lord Arthur wants to marry, but believes he cannot in all good conscience do so with his impending fate hanging over him. He decides that the only thing for it is to commit the murder first, before marrying his sweetheart, Sybil Merton

| Summary/Abstract |
Philip Vellacott has provided excellent translations and commentaries on four of the plays of Euripides, including his classic "Medea." "Medea" is a study in how unbridled passion can overcome reason and lead to tragedy. This may be particularly pertinent with respect to the ongoing war between Athens and Sparta at the time the play was first presented. Medea, who had helped Jason in his quest, become his wife, and given him two sons, feels betrayed since he is marrying the daughter of the ruler of Corinth. With horrible vengence, she kills the bride and the king and then her two sons. "Hecabe" is a play about the wife of Priam, King of Troy, and the mother of Hector, Paris, Cassandra, and others. At the start of this play, the war between the Greeks and Troy is over and Hecabe is now a slave of Agamemnon. The ghost of Achilles had appeared and demanded a sacrifice over his tomb before the Greeks can set sail for home. They vote to sacrifice Polyxena, Hecabe's young daughter, despite the tears and entreaties of Hecabe. After Polyxena's noble death, Hecabe learns that her last child Polydorus had been murdered by the King of Thrace, Polymestor, to whom Polydorus had been sent for safekeeping. This finally drives Hecabe mad and she seeks vengence for Polydorus's death. Euripedes shows in this play the effects of war and vengence on innocent lives and how cruel men at war can be. "Electra" is another retelling of the vengence story of Electra and Orestes. In this version, they are less heroic and more realistic then the way they are portrayed by Aeschylus and Sophocles

| Summary/Abstract |
Descartes was prepared to go to any lengths in his search for certainty - even to deny those things that seemed most self-evident. He set out to dismantle and reconstruct the idea of the individual self and its existence. In doing so, Descartes developed a language of subjectivity that lasted to this day and he also took his first steps towards the view that would eventually be expressed in the epigram Cogito, ergo sum, ("I think, therefore I am") one of philosophy's most famous - and most fiercely contested - claims.

Mother Courage and Her Children is a classic in the repertory of Western theater. Written in response to the outbreak of World War II, this "chronicle play" of the Thirty Years War follows one of Brecht's most enduring characters, Courage, as she trails the armies across Europe, selling provisions from her canteen wagon. However, Courage pays the highest price of all. One by one, her children are devoured by violence, but she will not give up her livelihood-the wagon and the war.

"Poetics" is a treatise on fine art, mentioning not only epic and dithyrambic poetry, but tragedy, comedy, flute playing and lyre playing. Aristotle's conception of tragedy , a depiction of a heroic action that arouses pity and fear in the spectators and brings about a catharsis of these emotions, has helped perpetuate the Greek ideal of drama to the present day.

The Portable Arthur Miller is a rich cross section of sixty years of writing from one of this century's most influential and humane playwrights. This classic collection, completely updated by the author together with the preeminent Miller scholar Christopher Bigsby, contains in full the masterpieces The Crucible and Death of a Salesman, and is now expanded to include his most recent play, Broken Glass, which was awarded England's prestigious Olivier Award for Best Play of 1995, as well as three other complete plays and an excerpt from a radio drama thought lost for years. An essay by Harold Clurman recognizes Miller as one of the greatest playwrights America has produced, and Bigsby's introduction evaluates his place at the fore of twentieth-century literature.
