Classics Illustrated 155 The Lion of the North

It was 1630, the twelfth year of the Thirty Years' War. Late on a spring afternoon, a sixteen year old lad stood gazing across the swollen waters of the Nith River in the south of Scotland. All about him the hilltops were covered with masses of clouds, and a fierce wind swept the driving rain before it.

Clouds of WitnessClouds of Witness

Rustic old Riddlesdale Lodge was a Wimsey family retreat filled with country pleasures and the thrill of the hunt -- until the game turned up human and quite dead. He lay among the chrysanthemums, wore slippers and a dinner jacket and was Lord Peter's brother-in-law-to-be.His accused murderer was Wimsey's own brother, and if murder set all in the family wasn't enough to boggle the unflappable Lord Wimsey, perhaps a few twists of fate would be -- a mysterious vanishing midnight letter from Egypt...a grieving fiancee with suitcase in hand...and a bullet destined for one very special Wimsey.

Rhetoric, Comedy, and the Violence of Language in Aristophanes' CloudsRhetoric, Comedy, and the Violence of Language in Aristophanes' Clouds

This is an intelligent and unusually thought-provoking reading of Aristophanes' Clouds. O'Regan focuses on logos, or the power of argument, and its effects, and on the self-awareness of the second Clouds as a comedy of logos directed toward an audience made resistant by devotion to the body. Within and without the play, logos meets defeat when confronted with human nature and desire. The argument conveys much insight into fifth-century thought and the play's workings, the more so because it balances rhetoric with comedy, and reminds the reader that this is a comic logos--explored in the comic mode, and connected with the intentions and vicissitudes of the first and second Clouds.
