The genius of Shakespeare is not always accessible or easily understandable to readers and audiences. Leon Kellner points out that sometimes Shakespeare’s languages does not make sense at all but this is not necessarily because his metaphors are too complex. Rather, the printing of his works is often filled with errors. Originally published in 1925, Kellner’s work explores the reasons and potential mistakes which may account for the unintelligible passages in Shakespeare such as handwriting, abbreviations, and the confusing of pronouns. This title will be of interest to students of English Literature and Linguistics.

Path to the Dream Life is about the struggle of Imma, a young man living in Nigeria, West Africa, to rise above his circumstances and make good in the world. The changed lives and faith convictions of the friends he encounters along the way confront him with choices – choices that place him on a collision course with everyone and everything that matter to him. As Imma struggles with those choices, his concept of a dream life and the path thereto are tested. The broken road meanders to The Life, Christ, and to Gift, the love of his life that nearly wasn’t. A romance ensues that hits its own cross-roads and forces them to linger over the choice of the one - until the moments both see beyond themselves and progress in a relationship that will mirror and beckon the true Dream Life in more ways than one. Imma captures it in a poem he recites to Gift: ‘… But in the darkness of my doubts You lifted the lamp of love And I saw in your face The road that I should take’.
