    The second of two volumes collecting the complete tragedies of Seneca. Edited by world-renowned classicists Elizabeth Asmis, Shadi Bartsch, and Martha C. Nussbaum, the Complete Works of Lucius Annaeus Seneca offers authoritative, modern English translations of the writings of the Stoic philosopher and playwright (4 BCE–65 CE). The two volumes of The Complete Tragedies presents all of his dramas, expertly rendered by preeminent scholars and translators. The first volume contains Medea, The Phoenician Women, Phaedra, The Trojan Women, and Octavia, the last of which was written in emulation of Senecan tragedies and serves as a unique example of political tragedy. This second volume includes Oedipus, Hercules Mad, Hercules on Oeta, Thyestes, and Agamemnon. High standards of accuracy, clarity, and style are maintained throughout the translations, which render Seneca into verse with as close a correspondence, line for line, to the original as possible, and with special attention paid to meter and overall flow. In addition, each tragedy is prefaced by an original translator’s introduction offering reflections on the work’s context and meaning. Notes are provided for the reader unfamiliar with the culture and history of classical antiquity. Accordingly, The Complete Tragedies will be of use to a general audience and professionals alike, from the Latinless student to scholars and instructors of comparative literature, classics, philosophy, drama, and more.

    Fyodor Dostoyevsky's final novel, considered to be the culmination of his life's work, "The Brothers Karamazov" is the story of the murder of Father Karamazov, whose four sons are all to some degree complicit in the crime. Within the context of this crime story evolves a brilliant philosophical debate of religion, reason, liberty, and the nature of guilt in society. Considered by Sigmund Freud as "The most magnificent novel ever written", the excellent translation of Constance Garnett is presented here in this edition of "The Brothers Karamazov".

    F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Camel’s Back” is a sparkling Jazz Age comedy of pride, champagne, misunderstandings, and one extremely unfortunate camel costume. 
Perry Parkhurst, a perfectly polished young lawyer from Toledo, reaches the end of his rope when a quarrel with his glamorous sweetheart, Betty Medill, leaves him heartbroken and humiliated. In a moment of wounded bravado, he lets himself be swept into an evening of reckless celebration—one that ends with him renting a shabby camel costume for a high-society circus ball. 
What follows is a cascade of Fitzgerald-perfect chaos: mistaken identities, furious flirtations, a dancing camel, a drunken taxicab driver, and a cotillion gone completely off the rails. And at the heart of it all, a romance dangling between disaster and destiny. 
Equal parts farce and charm, “The Camel’s Back” showcases Fitzgerald’s gift for sharp social satire, irresistible characters, and the comedic madness of love. Performed with rich personality by Tony J. Martin, this classic short story comes alive with all the wit, warmth, and wild energy of the Roaring Twenties. 
A romp. A riot. A romance. And yes—there really is a camel.
