DOWNLOAD EBOOKThese ardent, even obsessed, poems about erotic passion are among the brightest jewels in the crown of Latin literature. Written by Propertius, Rome's greatest poet of love, who was born around 50 b.c., a contemporary of Ovid, these elegies tell of Propertius' tormented relationship with a woman he calls "Cynthia." Their connection was sometimes blissful, more often agonizing, but as the poet came to recognize, it went beyond pride or shame to become the defining event of his life. Whether or not it was Propertius' explicit intention, these elegies extend our ideas of desire, and of the human condition itself.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDemonstrating and defending a method of close reading and historical contextualisation of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, this collection of essays by Tom McAlindon combines a number of previously published pieces with original studies. The volume includes six interpretative studies, all but one of which involve challenges to radical readings of the plays involved, including Henry V, Coriolanus, The Tempest, and Doctor Faustus. The other three essays are critiques of the claims and methods of radical, postmodernist criticism (new historicism and cultural materialism especially); they illustrate the author's conviction that some leading scholars in the field of Renaissance literature and drama, who deserve credit for shifting attention to new areas of interest, must also be charged with responsibility for a marked decline in standards of analysis, interpretation, and argument. Likely to provoke considerable debate, this stimulating collection is an important contribution to Shakespeare studies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn TLC's "My 600 LB Life", Chad Dean was quoted as saying "The board game most closely resembling my life is CandyLand. I would eat anything and everything I wanted, whenever I wanted." But those days are long gone. He's now one of that rare 5% of gastric bypass recipients who have maintained their weight loss after two years. By spilling out intimate details of his life on the pages of "I'm In Here Somewhere," his greatest hope is that others may learn from his mistakes, recognize their own decline into addiction, and pass on the knowledge to others that are still in gripping denial.The journey was a tough one. Chad credits his brilliant physician, a television production company willing to take a chance, the unwavering support of his loving family, sound fitness advice, and a blatant truth-telling friend that never bent under the pressure of the addicted. Chad fought hard, stumbled, got back to his feet, and battled like a warrior to right the wrong he'd done to his body. You can't endure such hills and valleys without glancing over your shoulder to see what demons still chase you. What he found was a burning question as to why he'd ended up in that predicament in the first place. The one thing that Chad never lost was his irreverent humor, positivity, and strong confidence. They may have faltered a few times, but they're in full force in his honest, no holds-barred memoir of a food addict who conquered his worst enemy: himself.
