Few men have endured the indignity of having their very existence challenged as thoroughly as William Shakespeare, late of Stratford-upon-Avon. From scholars to amateur enthusiasts, many cannot bring themselves to believe he wrote his own body of work. Playwright J. Ajlouny presents the arguments for and against, all statements and proofs drawn from the historical record. Everybody must decide for himself, but The Trial of William Shakespeare makes the controversy both intriguing and fun.

IN ancient times, when the city of Rome was at the height of its power and splendor, it was the custom, as it is in fact now with the inhabitants of wealthy capitals, for the principal families to possess, in addition to their city residences, rural villas for summer retreats, which they built in picturesque situations, at a little distance from the city, sometimes in the interior of the country, and sometimes upon the seashore. There were many attractive places of resort of this nature in the neighborhood of Rome. Among them was Antium.??The beauty and the salubrity of Antium made it a very attractive place of summer resort for the people of Rome; and in process of time, when the city attained to an advanced stage of opulence and luxury, the Roman noblemen built villas there, choosing situations, in some instances, upon the natural terraces and esplanades of the promontory, which looked off over the sea, and in others cool and secluded retreats in the valleys, on the land. It was in one of these villas that NERO was born.??NERO's father belonged to a family which had enjoyed for several generations a considerable degree of distinction among the Roman nobility, though known by a somewhat whimsical name. The family name was Brazenbeard, or, to speak more exactly, it was Aheno-barbus, which is the Latin equivalent for that word. ?

YOU have heard of Homer, and of the two wonderful poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey, which bear his name. No one knows whether these poems were composed by Homer, or whether they are the work of many different poets. And, in fact, it matters very little about their authorship. Everybody agrees that they are the grandest poems ever sung or written or read in this world; and yet, how few persons, comparatively, have read them, or know any thing about them except at second-hand! ? Homer commences his story, not at the beginning, but "in the midst of things;" hence, when one starts out to read the Iliad without having made some special preparation beforehand, he finds it hard to understand, and is tempted, in despair, to stop at the end of the first book. Many people are, therefore, content to admire the great masterpiece of poetry and story-telling simply because others admire it, and not because they have any personal acquaintance with it.? Now, it is not my purpose to give you a "simplified version" of the Iliad or the Odyssey. There are already many such versions; but the best way for you, or any one else, to read Homer, is to read Homer. If you do not understand Greek, you can read him in one of the many English translations. You will find much of the spirit of the original in the translations by Bryant, by Lord Derby, and by old George Chapman, as well as in the admirable prose rendering by Butcher and Lang; but you can get none of it in any so-called simplified version.??My object in writing this "Story of the Golden Age" has been to pave the way, if I dare say it, to an enjoyable reading of Homer, either in translations or in the original. I have ta-ken the various legends relating to the causes of the Trojan war, and, by assuming certain privileges never yet denied to story-tellers, have woven all into one continuous narrative, ending where Homer's story begins. The hero of the Odyssey—a character not always to be admired or commended—is my hero. And, in telling the story of his boyhood and youth, I have taken the opportunity to repeat, for your enjoyment, some of the most beautiful of the old Greek myths. If I have, now and then, given them a coloring slightly different from the original, you will remember that such is the right of the story-teller, the poet, and the artist. The essential features of the stories remain unchanged. I have, all along, drawn freely from the old tragedians, and now and then from Homer himself; nor have I thought it necessary in every instance to mention authorities, or to apologize for an occasional close imitation of some of the best translations. The pictures of old Greek life have, in the main, been derived from the Iliad and the Odyssey, and will, I hope, help you to a better understanding of those poems when you come to make acquaintance directly with them.??Should you become interested in the "Story of the Golden Age," as it is here related, do not be disappointed by its somewhat abrupt ending; for you will find it continued by the master-poet of all ages, in a manner both inimitable and unapproachable. If you are pleased with the discourse of the porter at the gate, how much greater shall be your delight when you stand in the palace of the king, and hearken to the song of the royal minstrel! ?

The Law, original French title La Loi, is a 1849 book by Frédéric Bastiat. It was published one year after the third French Revolution of 1848 and one year before his death of tuberculosis at age 49. The essay was influenced by John Locke's Second Treatise on Government and in turn influenced Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson. It is the work for which Bastiat is most famous along with The candlemaker's petition and the Parable of the broken window. In The Law, Bastiat states that "each of us has a natural right — from God — to defend his person, his liberty, and his property". The State is a "substitution of a common force for individual forces" to defend this right. The law becomes perverted when it punishes one's right to self-defense in favor of another's acquired right to plunder.

Nutuk Kitab? Hakk?nda: Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nin kurucusu Ulu ?nder?Mustafa Kemal Atatürk'ün?Nutuk?isimli kitab? yakla??k 1.000 sayfadan olu?uyor ve yay?nevimiz arac?l???yla?kitab?n TAMAMI size üst düzeyde kalitede TEK bir e-kitap?olarak,?“EPUB”?format?nda sizlere sunuluyor. Atam?z?n “Nutuk” isimli kitab?n? siz de?erli okurlar?m?zla payla?madan olmazd?. M. Kemal Atatürk'ün kendisine ait ve kendisinin yazm?? oldu?u bu kal?n kitap ile ne kadar kuvvetli ve hitabeti sa?lam bir ?ncü oldu?unu bir kere daha anlayacaks?n?z. ??erisinde Atatürk'e ait olan onlarca ders niteli?inde yaz?lm?? hat?ralar, tavsiyeler ve tesirli s?zler i?eren her Türk yurtta??n?n okumas? ?art olan ?ok ?zel bir kitapt?r Nutuk. Nutuk, tüm bunlar?n yan?nda, yeni Türkiye devletinin yaz?lan ilk tarihidir de asl?nda ve yazar? da Mustafa Kemal Atatürk'tür. Yapt??? tarihi gelecekteki Türk insan?na tan?tabilmek emeliyle bu kitab? kaleme alm??t?r. Nutuk, ilk kez Atatürk taraf?ndan kurulan Cumhuriyet Halk Partisinin 15-20 Ekim 1927 tarihleri aras?nda Ankara da toplanan ?kinci Kurultay?nda okunmu?tur. Konu?man?n tamam? otuz alt? bu?uk saat sürmü?tür. Nutuk, 1919'dan ba?layarak 1927’ye kadar olan tarih dilimini incelemektedir. Bu d?nem kitapta ü? b?lümde ele al?nm??t?r: 1) Kuva-i Milliye (Ulusal gü?ler) D?nemi Nutukta yeni Türkiye Devletinin kurulu?u anlat?lmaktad?r. Yeni Türk devletinin kurulmas?ndaki maksat da ?u ?ekilde a??klanm??t?r: Türk ulusunun onurlu ve ?erefli bir ulus olarak ya?amas?d?r. Bu da tam ba??ms?z olmakla sa?lanabilir. “Ne kadar zengin olursa olsun, ba??ms?zl?ktan yoksun bir ulus uygar insanl?k kar??s?nda u?ak durumunda kalmaktan ileriye gidemez.” demi?tir ve Mustafa Kemal Atatürk ?u s?zleri s?ylemi?tir “Türkün onuru, kendine güveni ve yetenekleri ?ok yüksektir. B?yle bir ulus tutsak ya?amaktansa yok olsun daha iyidir.” Diyerek kurtulu? isteyenlerin parolas?n?n “Ya ba??ms?zl?k ya ?lüm!” oldu?unu s?ylemi?tir. Burada devlet kurman?n zorluklar? g?rülmektedir. Atatürk Samsun’a ??kt??? anda ülkenin genel durumu; Osmanl? Devletinin i?inde bulundu?u topluluk sava?ta yenilmi? Osmanl? Ordusu zedelenmi?, ko?ullar? a??r bir ate?kes imzalanm??, ulus yorgun ve bitkin bir durumda, ulusu ve ülkeyi sava?a sürükleyenler yurttan ka?m??, padi?ah ve halife soysuzla?m??, kendini ve taht?n? koruyacak al?ak?a ?nlemler ara?t?rmakta, hükümet yüzsüz, onursuz, korkak, ordunun elinden silahlar? ve cephanesi al?nm?? ve al?nmakta, yurdun d?rt bir yan?ndaki topluluklar devletin bir an ?nce ??kmesine ?aba harc?yorlard?. Bu ?ekilde a??klad?ktan sonra ulus egemenli?ine dayanan kay?ts?z ?arts?z yeni bir devleti kurmak i?in izledi?i politikay?, kar??la?t??? gü?lükleri bunal?mlar? ve ?at??malar? anlatmaktad?r. Bu haliyle Nutuk, s?mürgeci devletlerin alt?nda ya?ayan uluslara kurtulu? yolunu g?steren bir yap?t ?zelli?i ta??maktad?r. 2) Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi D?nemi Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi 23 Nisan 1920’de a??lm?? ve o günden sonra tüm askeri ve sivil makamlar?n ulusun ba?vuraca?? en yüce kat?n Meclis olaca??n? halk?na bildirmi? ve Meclis, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’ün a??k ve gizli oturumlardaki bir iki gün süren a??klamalar? ve konu?malar?ndan sonra Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi Ba?kan? se?mi?tir. 3) Cumhuriyet D?nemi: Atatürk ?smet Pa?a ile birlikte bir yasa tasar?s? haz?rlad?. Bu tasar?daki 20 Ocak 1921 tarihli anayasan?n devlet bi?imini saptar maddelerini de?i?tirerek birinci maddenin sonuna “Türkiye Devletinin Hükümet bi?imi Cumhuriyettir” cümlesini ekleyerek maddeyi de?i?tirmi?tir ve yap?lan Meclis toplant?s?nda Anayasan?n De?i?tirilmesi ile ilgili maddenin g?rü?ülmesi kabul edildi. Toplant? sonunda yasa bir?ok milletvekilinin “Ya?as?n Cumhuriyet!” s?ylemleri ile kabul edildi ve b?ylece 29 Ekim 1923’te Cumhuriyet ilan edilmi? oldu. Daha sonra Cumhurba?kanl??? se?imine ge?ildi. Oylamada Mustafa Kemal Atatürk toplant?ya kat?lan yüz elli sekiz ki?inin tümünün oylar?n? alarak Cumhurba?kan? se?ildi. Nutuk s?mürge uluslar?n ba??ms?zl?klar?n? kazanmaya yard?mc? olacak bir program niteli?indedir. Bu eser okundu?unda Türk kurtulu? sava??n?n bir askeri sava? oldu?u kadar bir dü?ünce sava?? da oldu?u g?rülmektedir. Nutuk, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’ün halk?na verdi?i bir hesap pusulas?d?r. ?ünkü ulusal kurtulu? sava?? boyunca o halk?yla birlikte olmu?tu ve halk?na “Hayat demek sava? ve ?arp??ma demektir. Hayatta ba?ar? yüzde yüz sava?ta, ba?ar? kazanmakla elde edilebilir. Bu da manevi ve maddi güce dayan?r. ?nsanlar?n u?ra?t??? tüm sorunlar, kar??la?t??? tüm tehlikeler, elde etti?i ba?ar?lar toplumca yap?lan genel sava??n dalgalar? i?inde do?ar.” S?zlerini s?ylemi? ve halk?ndan can istemi?, halk seve seve vermi?, mal istemi?, halk seve seve vermi?tir. Bunlar nerede, nas?l, ni?in, harcanm??? Nutuk halk?n kafas?ndaki bu sorulara da a??kl?k getirmi?tir. Türk halk?ndan al?nan can?n ve mal?n ülkenin i?galinden, ulusun k?lelikten kurtularak onurlu, ba??ms?z, ?a?da? bir devlet ve toplum olarak ya?amas? i?in harcand???n? belgeleriyle a??klamaktad?r. Atatürk bu eserinde, ulusal varl??? son

The Metamorphoses, or The Golden Ass, is the only Ancient Roman novel to survive in its entirety. The protagonist of the novel is called Lucius. At the end of the novel, he is revealed to be from Madaurus, in ancient Algeria, the hometown of Apuleius himself. The plot revolves around the protagonist's curiosity and insatiable desire to see and practice magic. While trying to perform a spell to transform into a bird, he is accidentally transformed into an ass. This leads to a long journey, literal and metaphorical, filled with in-set tales. He finally finds salvation through the intervention of the goddess Isis, whose cult he joins.

In these Talks, given in Europe, Ojai and India, Krishnamurti addresses the need to approach our life problems in a manner does not perpetuate fragmentation. "Though we have many problems, and each problem seems to produce so many other problems, perhaps we can consider together whether the wisest thing to do is, not to seek the solution of any problem at all. It seems to me that our minds are incapable of dealing with life as a whole; we deal, apparently, with all problems fragmentarily, separately, not with an integrated outlook. Perhaps the first thing, if we have problems, is not to seek an immediate solution for them, but to have the patience to inquire deeply into them, and discover whether these problems can ever be solved by the exercise of will. What is important, I think, is to find out, not how to solve the problem, but how to approach it." An extensive compendium of Krishnamurti's talks and discussions in the USA, Europe, India, New Zealand, and South Africa from 1933 to 1967—the Collected Works have been carefully authenticated against existing transcripts and tapes. Each volume includes a frontispiece photograph of Krishnamurti , with question and subject indexes at the end. The content of each volume is not limited to the subject of the title, but rather offers a unique view of Krishnamurti's extraordinary teachings in selected years. The Collected Works offers the reader the opportunity to explore the early writings and dialogues in their most complete and authentic form.

Referindu-se la Pesc?ru?ul ?ntr-o scrisoare din octombrie 1895, Cehov nota, ?ntre altele: ?Scriu o pies? pe care probabil nu o voi termina p?n? la sf?r?itul lui noiembrie. O scriu nu f?r? pl?cere, de?i m? tem de conven?iile scenei. E o comedie, exist? trei roluri pentru femei, ?ase pentru b?rba?i, patru acte, peisaje (priveli?tea unui lac), o mul?ime de conversa?ii despre literatur?, pu?in? ac?iune, mult? iubire“.

The Code of Hammurabi (Codex Hammurabi) is a well-preserved ancient law code, created ca. 1790 BC (middle chronology) in ancient Babylon. It was enacted by the sixth Babylonian king, Hammurabi. One nearly complete example of the Code survives today, inscribed on a seven foot, four inch tall basalt stele in the Akkadian language in the cuneiform script.

The classic tragedy. According to Wikipedia: "Gaius Marcius Coriolanus was possibly a legendary Roman general who lived in the 5th century BC. He received his toponymic title "Coriolanus" because of his exceptional valor in a Roman siege of the Volscian city of Corioli. He was then promoted to a general. In later ancient times, it was generally accepted by historians that Coriolanus had lived, and a consensus narrative story of his life appeared, retold by leading historians such as Livy and Plutarch."

Classic Shakespearean romance, with line numbers. According to Wikipedia: "The Winter's Tale is a play by William Shakespeare, first published in the First Folio in 1623. Although it was listed as a comedy when it first appeared, some modern editors have relabeled the play a romance. Some critics, among them W. W. Lawrence ... consider it to be one of Shakespeare's "problem plays", because the first three acts are filled with intense psychological drama, while the last two acts are comedic and supply a happy ending."

La France, ses ?uvres les plus connues sont les romans Les Misérables et Notre-Dame de Paris (connu aussi en anglais sous le titre de Le Bossu de Notre-Dame), bien que conservateur conservateur dans sa jeunesse, Hugo devint plus libéral au fil des décennies. il est devenu un partisan passionné du républicanisme et son travail touche à la plupart des questions politiques et sociales et aux tendances artistiques de son temps: il est enterré au Panthéon.

According to Wikipedia: "John Ruskin (8 February 1819 – 20 January 1900) is best known for his work as an art critic, stage writer, and social critic, but is remembered as an author, poet and artist as well.
