The sparkling plays about the scoundrelly valet Figaro, used as the basis of operas by Mozart and Roissini A highly engaging comedy of intrigue, The Barber of Seville portrays the resourceful Figaro foiling a jealous old man's attempts to keep his beautiful ward from her lover. And The Marriage of Figaro—condemned by Louis XVI for its daring satire of nobility and privilege—depicts a master and servant set in opposition by their desire for the same woman. With characteristic lightness of touch, Beaumarchais—a French courtier, secret agent, libertine, and adventurer—created an audacious farce of disguise and mistaken identity that balances wit, frivolity and seriousness in equal measure.

A large volume, private exhibition of decadent classicism in contemporary photos. This unusual suite of photographs uses the poetic form of Sestina combined with other signature Stivers' elements: Romanticism, mysticism, Gothic and Baroque art, Symbolism and film. With a contemporary edge eerily recalling the past, the photos seem dredged up from a seance. Named after a complex French poetic form based upon repetition, the Sestina was practiced by Swinburne, Kipling and Auden, and transformed by Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot and Elizabeth Bishop. Here, John Woods' poetry illuminates Stivers' surreal imagery.

In fun and rhythmic prose, John Wood tells the story of sturdy, lovable Zak, a yak whose determination and strength help to bring thousands of books to a rural village in Nepal. With his two young Nepali sidekicks, Arul and Manju, Zak sets out on a quest to rally the support and generosity of others to help provide much-needed resources to a school high in the Himalayan Mountains. Illustrated in vivid colors by award-winning Nepali artist Abin Shrestha, the book highlights the challenges faced by students in resource-depvied countries like Nepal. The trio's trek through Nepal introduces the reader to the breathtaking landscapes of Nepal, from the isolated, steep mountains to the capital city, Kathmandu. Through Zak's marvelous journey, readers will learn not only to value their own education, but also the importance of taking action and becoming agents of change in their own lives.

Excerpt from Hardy Perennials and Old-Fashioned Garden Flowers: Describing the Most Desirable PlantsAt the present time there is a growing desire to patronise perennial plants, more especially the many and beautiful varieties known as "old-fashioned flowers." Not only do they deserve to be cultivated on their individual merits, but for other very important reasons; they afford great variety of form, foliage, and flower, and compared with annual and tender plants, they are found to give much less trouble. If a right selection is made and properly planted, the plants may be relied upon to appear with perennial vigour and produce flowers more or less throughout the year. I would not say bouquets may be gathered in the depth of winter, but what will be equally cheering may be had in blow, such as the Bluet, Violet, Primrose, Christmas Rose, Crocus, Hepatica, Squills, Snowdrops, and other less known winter bloomers. It does not seem to be generally understood that warm nooks and corners, under trees or walls, serve to produce in winter flowers which usually appear in spring when otherwise placed.There are many subjects which, from fine habit and foliage, even when flowerless, claim notice, and they, too, are described.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
