Ben Jonson
The extraordinary character of Ben Jonson has only recently been brought into the light. Critics traditionally exalted Shakespeare, at Jonson’s expense. In this biography, first published in 1986, the author presents a full and accurate account of Jonson’s life in modern times. Rosalind Miles follows Jonson from his obscure beginnings to his burial in Westminster Abbey, as the first Poet Laureate, in 1637. Her Jonson is vivid and vigorous, equally alive in his life and in his work. This title will be of interest to students of history, English literature and Renaissance drama.
Wolf Hall
Inglaterra, década de 1520. Henry VIII ocupa o trono, mas não tem herdeiros. O cardeal Wolsey, o seu conselheiro principal, é encarregue de garantir a consumação do divórcio que o papa recusa conceder. É neste ambiente de desconfiança e de adversidade que surge Thomas Cromwell, primeiro como funcionário de Wolsey e, mais tarde, como seu sucessor. Thomas Cromwell é um homem verdadeiramente original. Filho de um ferreiro cruel, é um político genial, intimidante e sedutor, com uma capacidade subtil e mortal para manipular os outros e as circunstâncias. Impiedoso na perseguição dos seus próprios interesses, é tão ambicioso na política quanto na vida privada. A sua agenda reformadora é executada perante um parlamento que atua em benefício próprio e um rei que flutua entre paixões românticas e acessos de raiva homicida. Escrito por uma das grandes escritoras do nosso tempo, Wolf Hall é um romance absolutamente singular.
Ben Jonson
Though he is one of the undisputed giants of English literature, Ben Jonson is known to most people only as the author of one or two masterly plays which regularly appear in the drama repertory. He is much less well-known for his whole oeuvre, which encompasses poetry, criticism, masque-making, and a lifetime of linguistic and lexicographical study. In this new book, Rosalind Miles, author of the widely acclaimed Ben Jonson: His Life and Work, presents a comprehensive critical study of the whole of Jonson's output from his earliest beginnings through to the final achievement. Looking at every word he ever wrote, in drama, masque, poetry, philosophy and literary criticism, she reveals a far m...
Ugly Love
From Colleen Hoover, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Starts with Us and It Ends with Us, a heart-wrenching love story that proves attraction at first sight can be messy. When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she doesn't think it's love at first sight. They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her. Never ask about the past. Don’t expect a future. They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all. Hearts get infiltrated. Promises get broken. Rules get shattered. Love gets ugly.

After June
Sixty-seven-year-old Ben Willows prefers the company of a dog to that of most people. So, now that his wife June, an exception in the people category with whom he's shared most of his life, has died, he assumes he'll live out his days keeping to himself and making the best of what a solitary life has to offer. But one day he encounters Rose, a young pregnant woman who works in a local grocery store. Something about her seems familiar, and as the days go by and events unfold, he discovers that he's been making some inaccurate assumptions about life as well as misjudgments about people--even June, about whom he thought he knew everything--for a very long time. And he begins to understand why making connections with others can often change our lives for the better; we only need to allow ourselves to be open to the possibilities.
