The Lonely Way—Intermezzo—Countess Mizzie - Three Plays

Arthur Schnitzler

Sinopsis

Arthur Schnitzler's work "The Lonely WayIntermezzoCountess Mizzie" is a captivating exploration of love, desire, and social conventions in early 20th century Vienna. Written in a unique blend of psychological depth and elegant prose, the book delves into the complexities of human relationships and the consequences of following one's heart in a society filled with societal expectations and moral codes. With its subtle nuances and introspective character studies, Schnitzler's work stands out as a masterful example of Austrian modernist literature, comparable to the works of his contemporary, Franz Kafka. The interconnected narratives of the three stories create a tapestry of emotions, revealing the inner thoughts and struggles of the characters as they navigate the intricacies of love and passion in a world full of constraints. Arthur Schnitzler, a trained physician with a keen understanding of human psychology, drew inspiration from his own experiences and observations of Viennese society to create a poignant and thought-provoking portrayal of love and loneliness. Readers who appreciate psychologically rich narratives and thought-provoking explorations of human relationships will find "The Lonely WayIntermezzoCountess Mizzie" to be a profound and enchanting read that lingers in the mind long after the final page is turned.

Poetry Hour The - Volume 15

John Dryden, William Morris,...

Poetry is often cited as our greatest use of words. The English language has well over a million of them and poets down the ages seem, at times, to make use of every single one. But often they use them in simple ways to describe anything and everything from landscapes to all aspects of the human condition. Poems can evoke within us an individual response that takes us by surprise; that opens our ears and eyes to very personal feelings.

Forget the idea of classic poetry being somehow dull and boring and best kept to children’s textbooks. It still has life, vibrancy and relevance to our lives today.

Where to start? How to do that? Poetry can be difficult. We’ve put together some very eclectic Poetry Hours, with a broad range of poets and themes, to entice you and seduce you with all manner of temptations.

In this hour we introduce poets of the quality and breadth of John Dryden and William Morris as well as themes on Victorian Poetry, August, The Female Poet and more.

All of them are from Portable Poetry, a dedicated poetry publisher. We believe that poetry should be a part of our everyday lives, uplifting the soul & reaching the parts that other arts can’t. Our range of audiobooks and ebooks cover volumes on some of our greatest poets to anthologies of seasons, months, places and a wide range of themes. Portable Poetry can found at iTunes, Audible, the digital music section on Amazon and most other digital stores.

This audio book is also duplicated in print as an ebook. Same title. Same words. Perhaps a different experience. But with Amazon’s whispersync you can pick up and put down on any device – start on audio, continue in print and any which way after that.

Jana Harris

Spanning the years 1853–1933—beginning with conveyance by oxcart and ending with air travel—this series of dramatic monologues tells the story of Helen Walsh and Thomas Hodgson, whose families trekked the trails of the great migration to the West. Helen and Thomas get married, and together, tame the remote corners of the wilderness by means of their imperishable love and a clear, well-beaten path.

The Poetry of the Moon & Stars -...

A.E. Housman, Christina Georgina...

The sun has descended below the far horizon.  The inky blackness of night begins to envelop the land.  Day has gone and the nocturnal times reveal themselves.  But above the dark blanket the moon, whether waxing or waning, stands sentry and around it vast clouds and swirls of stars regiment themselves.  We look up in awe and wonder, frail beneath their vista. 
Our gloried poets are on hand though to capture word and deed, emotion and feeling, friend and foe.  Among our ranks of astounding talents are Keats, Byron, Wordsworth, Hardy, Poe, Shelley, Longfellow and many more beside.  Their descriptions capture what they see and feel and describe as perhaps only a poet can. 
 This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.

The Other Side of Nowhere

André Naffis-Sahely

The Other Side of Nowhere is a radical, psychedelic journal of the end- times, whose poems portray a world of intransigence, a world where the safety of words like place or home have started to unravel. This pamphlet finds the author of The Promised Land: Poems from Itinerant Life (Penguin, 2017) exploring the American West, from forgotten gold rush towns in Arizona to the lives of historical figures from the Golden State's xenophobic history, allowing Naffis-Sahely to turn his wry worldly gaze on some of our era's most pressing subjects.
