The Ranchman

Charles Alden Seltzer

In the style of the early writers of the modern western, the Charles Alden Seltzer paints a vivid story of the depths to which any person can sink without discipline, charity and love. This is one of the best Seltzers work. He wrote his westerns from the experience of living on his uncles ranch in New Mexico. Seltzers best works also include The Two-Gun Man, The Boss of the Lazy Y, etc. Many of his novels were turned into Hollywood movies. The Ranchman is a rootin-tootin western love story.

The Tragedie of Othello, the Moore of Venice

William Shakespeare

It is amazing, beautiful, and the lines flow like a song. Very characteristic images, living, breathing. You empathize with all the heroes and fiercely despise Iago. This is certainly the highest skill, so clearly convey the characters in the play, without going into the descriptions, but only with randomly dropped phrases. Othello turned out to be an extremely tragic character.
