Federico Garcia Lorca (Routledge Modern and Contemporary Dramatists)
13
 
 
Federico Garcia Lorca (Routledge Modern and Contemporary Dramatists)This study offers a fresh examination of one of the Spanish language's most resonant voices; exploring how the very factors which led to his emergence as a cultural icon also shaped his dramatic output. The works themselves are also awarded the space that they deserve, combining performance histories with incisive textual analysis to restate Lorca's presence as a playwright of extraordinary vision, in works such as "Blood Wedding", "The Public", "The House of Bernarda", and "Alba Yerma".

F. Scott Fitzgerald "Tender Is The Night"

F. Scott Fitzgerald "Tender Is The Night"Audiobook, unabridged, narrated by George Guidall.
Published in 1934 by New York-based publisher Charles Scribner’s Sons, Tender Is the Night is one of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s last works. Although the novel was generally well received and has come to be regarded as one of Fitzgerald’s most important works, it was less popular at its publication than his previous novels and was considered a commercial failure. More autobiographical than his other works, Tender Is the Night tells the story of American psychologist Dick Diver and his wife, the wealthy but psychologically unstable Nicole. Set largely in the small French coastal town of Tarmes between the years 1925 and 1935, the book portrays a cast of characters typical of Fitzgerald’s fictional universe: wealthy, idle, sophisticated, and, in many ways, “troubled.”
