Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. Tight, unmarked; previous owner's name inside front cover; some light scrapes to back cover; age tanned; otherwise minimal wear; appears unread; Moliere (1622-73) combined all the traditional elements of comedy - wit, slapstick, spectacle and satire - with a deep understanding of character to create richly sophisticated dramas which have always delighted audiences. Most are built around dangerously deluded and obsessive heroes such as The Miser who threaten to blight the lives of those around them. Like Shakespeare, Moliere was a true man of the theatre whose comedies blend sharp insight into human nature with an unerring sense of what would work on stage and make people laugh. All his greatest achievements are included here and in the accompanying Penguin Classics volume, The Misanthrope and Other Plays.…

Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. Clean, tight, unmarked; spine straight and uncreased; lightly age tanned; otherwise absolute minimal wear; Written around 1200 by an unknown author, the Orkneyinga Saga is an intriguing fusion of myth, legend and history. The only medieval work to have Orkney as the central place of action, it tells of an era when the islands were still part of the Viking world, beginning with their conquest by the kings of Norway in the 9th century. Savagely powerful and poetic, this is a fascinating depiction of an age of brutal battles, murder, sorcery and bitter family feuds. Pálsson and Edwards's translation captures the force and eloquence of the original verse. Their introduction lucidly describes the history of the Orkneys and the origins of the saga.…
