New York: Folger Shakespeare Library, 1958. Mass Market Paperback. Good. spine creasing, some edge wear; Shakespeare's classic tragedy of love, madness, and revenge was first enacted in London in 1602. Young Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, is in mourning for his dead father, is visited by his father's ghost telling him that he was murdered by his own brother, Claudius, who then assumed the throne and married Hamlet's mother, Gertrude. Intent on revenge, Hamlet feigns madness and plots to kill Claudius. When he accidentally stabs Polonius, Claudius's counselor, Hamlet is sent into exile--and Polonius's daughter, Ophelia, who had been in love with Hamlet, goes mad from grief and drowns herself. In the climax of the play, old scores are settled at last, and Hamlet's speaks his famous last words: "The rest is silence." Considered one of Shakespeare's greatest plays, HAMLET is part of the well-established tradition of "revenge tragedies" that were popular at the end of the Elizabethan era, but the play transcends all its influences in its examination of justice and duty, and as a subtle portrait of a sensitive young man torn between righteous revenge and his duty as a moral man, Folger Shakespeare Library, 1958, 2.5, Scholastic Inc, January 2006.

Chapter One It was Indian country, and when our whe el busted, none of them would stop. They just rolled on by and le ft us setting there, my pap and me. Me, I was pushing a tall twe lve by then and could cuss 'most as good as Pap, and we both done some cussin' then. Bagley, the one Pap helped down to Ash Hollo w that time, he got mighty red around the ears, but he kept his w agon rollin'. Most folks, those days, were mighty helpful, but t his outfit sort of set their way by the captain. He was Big Jack McGarry. When the wheel busted, somebody called out and we swung back. Big Jack had no liking for Pap because Pap never took noth ing off him, and because Pap had the first look-in with Mary Tatu m, which Big Jack couldn't abide. He swung that fine black horse of his back and he set there looking at us. We had turned to and were getting that wheel off, fixing to get it repaired if we cou ld. Sorry, Tyler. You know what I said. This is Indian country. Goin' through here, we keep rollin' no matter what. We'll wait a spell at the springs, though. You can catch us there. Then he tu rned his horse and rode off, and nobody else in the wagons said b y word or look that they even seen us setting there. Pap, he did n't waste no more time. He looked after them, his face kind of dr awn down and gray like, and then he turned to me and he said, Son , I don't mind for myself. It's you I'm thinkin' of. But maybe it 'll be all right. You take that there gun, and you set up high an d watch sharp. So that was the way it was, and Pap aworking to f ix that wheel so we could go on. He was a good man at such things , and he had built many a wagon in his day, and had done some fin e cabinetwork, too. He worked steady and I kept my eyes open, bu t there was mighty little to see. It was a long rolling grass pla in wherever a body looked. Here and there was draws, but I couldn 't see into them. The wind stirred that tall grass, bending it ov er in long rolls, the way the sea must look, and it was green-gra y and then silver in the changing light and wind. Overhead the sk y was wide and pale blue, with just a few lazy clouds adrifting. We had us a good Conestoga wagon and six head of cattle, good bi g oxen, to haul it. We had two horses and two saddles, and inside the wagon was Pap's tools, our grub, bedding, and a few odds and ends like Ma's picture, which Pap kept by him, no matter what. Pap had swapped for a couple of Joslyn breech-loading carbines be fore we left Kansas, and we each had us a handgun, Shawk & McLana han six-shooters, caliber .36, and good guns, too. Like McGarry said, this was Indian country. Not two weeks ago the Indians had hit a wagon train, smaller than ours, killing four men and a woma n. They hit it again a few miles west, and they killed two more m en. Ours was a big train, well armed and all, but Big Jack, I se en the look in his eyes when he sat there watching Pap aworking. He was just figuring to himself that he wouldn't have to worry an y more about Pap, and by the time the wagons got to Californy he' d be married up with Mary Tatum. Her and all that silver her old man carried in the big box under his wagon. When it was almost d ark, Pap called to me. Son, come on down. You ride your horse, sc out around a little. If the wagons get to stop at the springs, we 'll catch 'em. But cattle don't make no speed with a heavy wagon . Their feet spread wide on turf and they pull better, day in, da y out, than any mule or horse, but they can't be called fast. Ni ght came, and we set a course by the stars, and we rolled on west all through the night. When the first gray light was in the sky, we saw the gleam on the water. Least, I saw it. Pap, he was stil l too far back. I seen the water where the pool was, and the cot tonwood leaves, but no white wagon covers, no horses, and no brea kfast fires acooking. When the wagon came up I saw Pap looking a nd looking like he couldn't believe it, and I seen his Adam's app le swallow, and I said, Pap, they've gone on. They left us. Yes, he said. I reckon that's so. We both knew we had to stop. Cattl e can stand so much, and these had a tough night and day behind t hem. We'll water up, son, Pap said. Then we'll pull into a draw a nd rest a while. So that was how it was, only when we got to the springs we saw the wagons had not stopped there. Big Jack McGarr y had taken no chances. He pulled them right on by, and nobody to know he'd promised to wait for us there. Nobody but him and us. We watered up and then we pulled out. Maybe three miles farther on we found a draw with some brush and we pulled into it for a re st. Pap unyoked the oxen and let them eat buffalo grass. He taken his Joslyn up on the ridge and bellied down in the grass. Me, I went to sleep under the wagon, and maybe I'd been asleep an hour when I felt someone nudge me, and it was Pap. Here they come, b oy. You get on your horse and take out. He was down on one knee n ear me. Maybe if you hold to low ground you can make it safe. I ain't agoin' without you. Son, you go now. One can make it. Two can't. You take Old Blue. He's the fastest. You come with me. N o, this here is all we got, boy. I'll stay by it. Maybe they'll t ake what sugar we got, and go. I'll stay, too. No! Pap rarely s poke hard to me after Ma died, but he spoke sharp and stern now, and it wasn't in me to dispute him. So I loosed the reins and swu ng into the saddle. Pap passed me up a sackful of cartridges and such, then caught my arm. There were tears in his eyes. Luck, bo y. Luck. Remember your ma. Then he slapped Old Blue on the rump and Old Blue went off up the draw. Me, I was in no mind to leave him, so when we rounded a little bend I put Blue up the bank and circled back. I heard a rifle shot and saw dust kick near the wa gon, then a whole volley of shots. Along with the rest I heard th e sharp hard sound of Pap's Joslyn carbine. Tying Blue among som e brush in a low place, I grabbed my Joslyn and went back, keepin g low down. Maybe a dozen Indians were out there, and Pap's one shot had counted, for I saw a free horse running off. As I looked the Indians began to circle, and Pap fired again. An Indian grab bed at his horse's mane and almost slipped off. The sun was out and it was hot. I could smell the hot, dusty grass and feel the s un on my back, and my hands were sweaty, but I waited. Boy thoug h I was, and Pap no Indian fighter, I knew what I had to do. Nigh t after night I'd sat by the fire and heard talk of Indian fights and such-like from the mountain men we met, and a couple of othe rs who had been over this trail before us. I soaked it up, and I knew there was a time for waiting and a time for shooting. Pap w as doing right good. He downed a horse and the Indians pulled off and away. I lay quiet, having a good view of the whole shindig, me being no more than a hundred and fifty yards off. Sudden-like , I saw the grass move. They were crawling up now. Did Pap see th em? No, he couldn't see them from where he lay, but he had guess ed that was what they would do, for I saw him worm out from behin d the wheel where he'd been shooting and ease off into some rocks not far from the wagon. They were coming on and right soon I cou ld see four of the Indians. Pap waited. I give him that. He was no Indian fighter, just a good wheelwright and cabinetmaker, but he was smart. Suddenly he came up with his carbine and fired quic k. I saw an Indian jerk back with a busted shoulder. Then two of them ran forward. Pap fired and missed, and fired again and hit. And then I heard a whisper in the grass and saw four Indians wal king their horses careful behind him. Behind him and right below me. They weren't thirty yards off from me, at point-blank range. This here was what I'd waited for. My mouth so dry I couldn't sp it or swallow, I ups with my Joslyn. I took steady aim the way I' d been taught, drew a deep breath and let it out easy, and then I squeezed her off. The rifle jumped in my hands, and that first I ndian let out a grunt and went off his horse and into the grass. I'd shot him right through the skull. Pap turned quick, fired on ce, then swung back as I shot again. My second shot took an Indi an right through the spine, and the other two went to hellin' awa y from there. My shooting had caught them flat-footed, as the fe llow says. They'd figured the man at the wagon was the only one, and now I'd killed me two Indians, and all in less than a minute. Another shot, and I turned quick. Two Indians had rushed Pap an d now they were fighting with him. At the same moment the two I'd run off circled back. I shot and missed, too excited, and then I saw Pap go down and saw a knife rise and fall, and I knew it was too late to do anything for Pap. I hustled for Old Blue, jumped into the saddle, and rode out of there. But I didn't head for n o settlement, or try to catch up with the train. That wagon was o urs, and the stuff in it was ours. I circled around, walked my ho rse a couple of miles in a creek, then brought him out of the wat er onto rock and cut back over the hills. It was full dark when I got back there. All was quiet. There was no fire, nothing. I s tudied about it some, then decided those Indians would never figu re on me to come back, and once they'd taken what they wanted fro m the wagon, they'd not stay around. So I went down, taking it ea sy. Finally, when Old Blue began to get nervous, I tied him to a bush and went on alone. When I got close I could smell the burned wood. The wagon had been set on fire, but it was still there. I crawled up closer, and I found Pap. He'd been shot through, then stabbed. And they'd scalped him. Using a match, I hunted throug h the wagon. ... --This text refers to an out of print or unavail able edition of this title. From AudioFile Rye Tyler grows up fa st.

The greatest love story in English, William Shakespeare`s Romeo and Juliet is a play of star-crossed lovers who take a valiant stand against social convention, with tragic consequences. This Penguin Shakespeare edition is edited with notes by T.J.B. Spencer, and an introduction by Adrian Poole. `What`s in a name? That which we call a rose, By any other name would smell as sweet` The city of Verona, torn apart by the violent feud between the families of Montague and Capulet, is a powder keg waiting to explode; the Prince of Verona, seeking to restore order, has declared any breach of the peace punishable by death. But for the young Montague Romeo, and his lover, the Capulet Juliet, the enmity of their families is immaterial. Meeting in secret, the two lovers gradually spiral towards disaster as their respective families edge closer towards open warfare. A play that has inspired films as diverse as Leonard Bernstein`s West Side Story and Baz Luhrmann`s Romeo+Juliet, Romeo and Juliet is a dazzling combination of passion and hatred, bawdy comedy and high tragedy. This book contains a general introduction to Shakespeare`s life and Elizabethan theatre, a separate introduction to Romeo and Juliet, a chronology, suggestions for further reading, an essay discussing performance options on both stage and screen, and a commentary. William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was born to John Shakespeare and Mary Arden some time in late April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. He wrote some of the most exceptional works of drama ever produced, including Romeo and Juliet (1595), Henry V (1599), Hamlet (1601), Othello (1604), King Lear (1606) and Macbeth (1606), as well as a collection of 154 sonnets, which number among the most profound and influential love-poetry in English.

Editorial Re views About the Author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was born in Fr ankfurt-on-Main in 1749. He studied at Leipzig, where he showed i nterest in the occult, and at Strassburg, where Herder introduced him to Shakespeare's works and to folk poetry. He produced some essays and lyrical verse, and at twenty-two wrote Götz von Berlic hingen, a play which brought him national fame and established hi m in the current Sturm und Drang movement. This was followed by t he novel The Sorrows of Young Werther in 1774, which was an even greater success. Goethe began work on Faust, and Egmont, another tragedy before being invited to join the government of Weimar. H is interest in the classical world led him to leave suddenly for Italy in 1786 and the Italian Journey recounts his travels there. Iphigenia in Tauris and Torquato Tasso, classical dramas, were w ritten at this time. Returning to Weimar, Goethe started the seco nd part of Faust, encouraged by Schiller. In 1806 he married Chri stiane Vulpius. During this late period he finished his series of Wilhelm Master books and wrote many other works, including The O riental Divan (1819). He also directed the State Theatre and work ed on scientific theories in evolutionary botany, anatomy and col or. Goethe completed Faust in 1832, just before he died. W.H. Aud en was born in 1907 and went to Oxford University, where he becam e Professor of Poetry from 1956 to 1960. After the publication of his Poems in 1930, he became the acknowledged leader of the 'thi rties poets'. His poetic output was prolific, and he also wrote v erse plays in collaboration with Christopher Isherwood, with whom he visited china. In 1946 he became a U.S. citizen. He died in 1 973.
