This carefully crafted ebook: "The War of The Worlds (Science Fiction Classic)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The War of the Worlds is a science fiction novel. It is the first-person narrative of an unnamed protagonist in Surrey and that of his younger brother in London as Earth is invaded by Martians. It is one of the earliest stories that detail a conflict between mankind and an extraterrestrial race. The novel is one of the most commented-on works in the science fiction canon. The War of the Worlds has two parts, Book One: The Coming of the Martians and Book Two: The Earth under the Martians. The unnamed narrator, a philosophically inclined author, struggles to return to his wife while seeing the Martians lay waste to the southern country outside London. Book One also imparts the experience of his brother, also unnamed, who describes events as they deteriorate in the capital, forcing him to escape the Martian onslaught by boarding a paddle steamer near Tillingham, on the Essex coast. Herbert George Wells (1866 - 1946), known as H. G. Wells, was a prolific English writer in many genres, including the novel, history, politics, and social commentary, and textbooks and rules for war games.

Every time you open your mouth on stage you are trying to persuade somebody of something. Sometimes referred to as 'the art of persuasion', rhetoric means using language to communicate your ideas and intentions to other people – and to make sure you are heard, understood and believed. This clear and concise guide explains how it works in plays, and how actors can use it to bring their performances to life on stage. Drawing on her decades of experience working with actors on major productions, including as Head of Voice at the National Theatre, Jeannette Nelson introduces all the major rhetorical techniques and devices that playwrights use. She offers fascinating breakdowns of dialogue and speeches from across the theatrical canon – from Shakespeare and Ibsen, to Tennessee Williams, Lorraine Hansberry and Arthur Miller, right up to contemporary playwrights such as Helen Edmundson and Tanika Gupta. Each chapter also includes a series of practical exercises which combine spoken word with physical action to help you explore and understand these techniques, and harness their power in performance. Whether you're an actor, a director or a drama teacher, Keeping It Active will empower you with a greater understanding of the ways that language underpins all dramatic works, and will give you the tools you need to unlock the text, understand characters, connect with the audience, and perform with greater confidence, focus and authenticity. 'As this excellent book outlines, rhetoric is everywhere. It's not simply in the parliament, the press conference and the court; it's in the workplace, the home and the family. There's no argument, classical or modern, in a play that isn't informed and helped by Jeannette's work' Josie Rourke, from her Foreword 'A great resource for actors and directors' Ralph Fiennes 'Jeannette Nelson's revelatory relationship to language is, quite simply, life-changing' Simon Godwin 'Jeannette taught me so much... I felt like I could persuade anybody to do anything' Sophie Okonedo

A secret criminal organization. Four shadowy masterminds. One detective who dares to challenge them. The Big Four is one of Agatha Christie's most action-packed novels, starring the brilliant Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. When Poirot stumbles upon the existence of a global network of criminals—known only as The Big Four—he faces one of the greatest challenges of his career.

María de la O Lejárraga (María Martínez Sierra), escritora, traductora, política y conferenciante, con contribuciones literarias relevantes en los más variados géneros, desarrolló una destacada labor en el panorama cultural español de las primeras décadas del siglo XX. La invisibilidad de su trabajo como autora, oculta bajo la firma de su marido, Gregorio Martínez Sierra, junto con la permanencia en el exilio hasta su muerte, ha impedido durante décadas el reconocimiento de la influencia crucial de su compromiso pionero con la igualdad de mujeres y hombres y con la igualdad de oportunidades. Este libro destaca su producción teatral, que muestra una profunda vocación de renovación técnica y formal al servicio del cambio social. Buena parte de su creación dramática se enmarcó en las corrientes vanguardistas europeas, y se vio enriquecida por sus colaboraciones con reputados profesionales de diferentes artes. Los estudios aquí reunidos reivindican la necesidad de incorporarla al canon cultural hispánico y subrayan su contribución crucial a la identidad colectiva española. Lejárraga fue pionera en denunciar la situación social de sus contemporáneas y defender las reivindicaciones feministas.

In the novel "A Chance Acquaintance" by William Dean Howells, readers are transported to the post-Civil War United States to explore themes of love, social class, and morality. Howells' realistic and detailed prose captures the complexities of human relationships and societal norms during a transformative period in American history. The book's subtle commentary on the constraints of 19th-century society adds depth to the narrative, making it a compelling read for those interested in both literature and history. Howells' nuanced portrayal of characters and their interactions reflects the naturalist literary movement of the time, emphasizing the influence of environment and social forces on individuals. William Dean Howells, a prominent figure in American literary realism, drew inspiration from his own experiences as a journalist and editor to craft insightful narratives that shed light on the human condition. His keen observations of society and ability to challenge conventional norms set him apart as a writer ahead of his time. Howells' commitment to depicting everyday life with authenticity and empathy shines through in "A Chance Acquaintance," showcasing his enduring relevance in the literary canon. I highly recommend "A Chance Acquaintance" to readers seeking a thought-provoking exploration of love, morality, and societal expectations in post-Civil War America. Howells' masterful storytelling and profound insights into human nature make this novel a timeless classic worth delving into.
