Much adoe about Nothing

Classic light comedy, fully sustained in the spirit of the plays of this genre. As is characteristic of the dramaturgy of this epoch, the obviousness of the incipient intrigue does not spoil the general charm of the play at all, and the onslaught of free irony and elegant juggling with words and meanings delivers true enjoyment. The plot tells about the creation of a union of two pairs, very different from each other. The wedding of the first couple has already been discussed, and preparations are underway. The second couple still does not even realize that a sharp reversal of fate will happen soon.

The Parowan Bonanza

B.M. Bower

B. M. Bower was the first woman to make a career of writing popular westerns. Her works, featuring cowboys and cows of the Flying U Ranch in Montana, reflected an interest in ranch life, the use of working cowboys as main characters, the occasional appearance of eastern types for the sake of contrast, a sense of western geography as simultaneously harsh and grand, and a good deal of factual attention to such matters as cattle branding and bronc busting. The Parowan Bonanza is one of her stories. This short but engaging novel contains all of the elements that made B. M. Bowers books a mainstay of the genre of classic Westerns.

Mother Goose in Prose

L. Frank Baum

None of us, whether children or adults, needs an introduction to Mother Goose. Those things which are earliest impressed upon our minds cling to them most tenaciously. Published three years before L. Frank Baum achieved fame with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, this engaging volume added an exciting new dimension to old, much-loved verses. The book contains 22 prose fables based on famous nursery rhymes: Old King Cole, Little Miss Muffet, The Cat and the Fiddle and many others. Baum gives the stories English settings and ambience, with mentions of London, the Sussex downs, and the River Dee. His tactic in the book is to take the often-nonsensical nursery rhymes and weave coherent, or at least self-consistent, stories from them. This wonderful collection of short stories is another delightful addition to anyone who is a fan of Baums work. Based on famous Mother Goose rhymes, all stories are fascinating background tales of the various characters involved.

Die Colonie. Brasilianisches Lebensbild

Friedrich Gerstäcker

Friedrich Gerstäcker (1816 1872) führte von der Wiege bis zur Bahre ein bewegtes Leben. Gerstäcker, in Hamburg geboren, war es bereits in frühen Jahren aufgrund der Rezeption einschlägiger Literatur, wie zum Beispiel von Defoes Robinson Crusoe, ein dringendes Bedürfnis, ferne Länder zu bereisen und zu entdecken. 1837 fasste er den Entschluss, seinen Wunsch wahr zu machen und wanderte von Bremerhaven aus nach Amerika aus. Nach einigen Jahren jedoch führte ihn sein Weg zurück nach Deutschland, wo er seine Erfahrungen, die er im fremden Land gemacht hatte, niederschrieb und sehr schnell zu einem beliebten Autor avancierte. In den darauffolgenden Jahren unternahm er weitere Reisen, unter anderem nach Afrika, Südamerika und in die Goldsucher-Regionen rund um Kalifornien. Friedrich Gerstäcker veröffentlichte eine Vielzahl von Erzählungen, Romanen und vor allem Berichte über seine verschiedenen Reisen, die ihn zu einem der meistgelesenen und bekanntesten Autoren Deutschlands machten. Die Colonie erschien erstmals 1864. Gerstäcker verarbeitet in diesem Buch die Erfahrungen und Eindrücke seiner Südamerikareisen.
