Stoppard, Tom.

<p>This clever romp is two short plays. In the first, a troupe of English schoolboys (played by adults) speak in a mock language called "Dogg." This hilarious language babbles along until the schoolboys, who are studying Shakespeare's "foreign" language, present an incredibly funny 15 minute version of Hamlet and then encore with a two minute version! The second play, dedicated to dissident Czech dramatist Pavel Kohout, is about a performance of Macbeth he and his friends once staged in a living room since the government banned public performances. The action shifts between the bare stage and the police inquiry. The murder and intrigue of Shakespeare's play are juxtaposed with the Czech political harassment.</p>

<p>Back cover: In 1988, former big-hunter turned conservationist Peter Byne set out with his wife and small daughter for the remote White Grass Plains wildlife reserve in Nepal. They were looking for Tula Hatti, the largest known Asian elephant alive today. The plan was to film a documentary which would bring Tula Hatti to the attention of the Nepalese government, provider for the protection of his shrinking habitat, and make him a symbol of endangered wildlife everywhere. Tula Hatti is the story of their adventure, told with warmth, humor, and vibrant detail. Byrne describes how Tula Hatti eluded them for weeks at a time in high grasses and dense jungle, and the sometimes hair-raising face-to-face encounters with which they were finally rewarded. Tula Hatti also provides insight into the behavior of the reserve's other inhabitants-including tigers, rhinos, and crocodiles-gleaned from Byrne's 35 years of jungle experience. Tula Hatti is a remarkable tale about a magnificent representative of vanishing wildlife and on family's love and respect for his world.</p>

The title poem from this collection is set on an island that has been a site of pilgrimage in Ireland for over a thousand years. A narrative sequence, it is an autobiographical quest concerned with 'the growth of a poet's mind'. The long poem is preceded by a section of shorter lyrics and leads into a third group of poems in which the poet's voice is at one with the voice of the legendary mad King Sweeney.'Surpasses even what one might reasonably expect from this magnificently gifted poet.' John Carey, Sunday Times

Station Island

Poetry

At a time when many people fear that the English language is entering a period of serious decline, the author of this book takes a more optimistic view. He believes that it is imperative to see modern English as a rich and diverse linguistic system deposited on our shores some 1,500 years ago, and left with us unweakened, though substantially changed, by the social and political events of the intervening period. Part 1 of this book is based on the T.S. Eliot Memorial Lectures delivered at the University of Kent at Canterbury in November 1988, which cover a wide range of topics in English lexicography and grammar. Part 2 consists of eight essays written between 1973 and 1987 and now brought together for the first time.
