Fall
Only eternal love could cause an angel to reject immortality and fall from grace. An angel’s passion is endless, as is a demon’s vengeance. When the two collide, hell is unleashed upon Earth. Alexi, the human son of an angel, finds himself unwittingly drawn into a raging battle between good and evil. After his arrival in Saint Petersburg, as he falls in love with Ekaterina, the daughter of a Russian aristocrat, both of their lives are jeopardized. Only by exiling his son and the woman he loves to safe haven in time, past, present, and future, can the angel attempt to keep them safe from a demon hell-bent on destroying them out of revenge. From the times of Imperial Russia prior to the First World War, the lovers travel back in time to the American Civil War. Yet war, itself, is hell and neither will find safety in that time. They continue on to early 20th Century London as threats against them intensify. Love, though, is eternal.

Wanted Cultured Ladies Only!
Wanted Cultured Ladies Only! maps out the early culture of cinema stardom in India from its emergence in the silent era to the decade after Indian independence in the mid-twentieth century. Neepa Majumdar combines readings of specific films and stars with an analysis of the historical and cultural configurations that gave rise to distinctly Indian notions of celebrity. She argues that discussions of early cinematic stardom in India must be placed in the context of the general legitimizing discourse of colonial "improvement" that marked other civic and cultural spheres as well, and that "vernacular modernist" anxieties over the New Woman had limited resonance here. Rather, it was through emphatically nationalist discourses that Indian cinema found its model for modern female identities. Considering questions of spectatorship, gossip, popularity, and the dominance of a star-based production system, Majumdar details the rise of film stars such as Sulochana, Fearless Nadia, Lata Mangeshkar, and Nargis.

The Politics and Poetics of Contemporary English Tragedy
The Politics and Poetics of Contemporary English Tragedy is a detailed study of the idea of the tragic in the political plays of David Hare, Howard Barker, Edward Bond, Caryl Churchill, Mark Ravenhill, Sarah Kane, and Jez Butterworth. Through an in-depth analysis of over sixty of their works, Sean Carney argues that their dramatic exploration of tragic experience is an integral part of their ongoing politics. This approach allows for a comprehensive rather than selective study of both the politics and poetics of their work. Carney’s attention to the tragic enables him to find a common discourse among the canonical English playwrights of an older generation and representatives of the nineties generation, challenging the idea that there is a sharp generational break between these groups. Finally, Carney demonstrates that tragic experience is often denied by the social discourse of Englishness, and that these playwrights make a crucial critical intervention by dramatizing the tragic.

Little Zinnobers
Is it possible to cultivate fundamental human values if you live in a totalitarian state? A teacher who instigates the school theatre sets out to prove that it is. But while the pupils rehearse Shakespeare’s tragedies and comedies under her ever-vigilant eye, Soviet life makes its brutal adjustments. This can be called a book about love, the tough kind of love that gets you through life, and death. Little Zinnobers is especially fascinating for British readers as we see Shakespeare’s famous sonnets and plays are touchingly brought to life by the Russian children and their gifted teacher, the novel’s heroine. The teacher applies some of the playwright’s satire to the socio-political s...
