Diminutive Dramas: Restored Classics to Go Edition (English Edition) baixar o livro de graça

Maurice Baring's Diminutive Dramas is a sparkling collection of miniature plays that turns history, myth, and politics into quicksilver comedy and sudden menace. Kings, lovers, daughters, and emperors speak in polished wit, only for vanity, duty, and social convention to expose the absurdity beneath their grand roles. A quarrel between Henry VIII and Catherine Parr over a boiled egg and Alexander the Great's horse becomes a battle of wills, while a modern courtship in Kensington Gardens hides a shocking family secret: the young man's father is a hangman. Elsewhere, Dido and Æneas clash over betrayal and destiny, and Agamemnon's awkward domestic talk with Iphigenia masks the grim truth of Troy's impossible delay. The book also stages farcical elections, grotesque imperial banquets, and satirical allegories of political decay, where flattery, ceremony, and public rhetoric collapse into violence, opportunism, or hollow triumph. Baring's wit is sharp, theatrical, and mercilessly observant. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
