The Story of English by Joseph Piercy Pdf

The Story of English illustrates the compelling history of how the relatively obscure dialects spoken by tribes from what are now Denmark, the Low Countries and northern Germany, became the most widely spoken language in the world, and of how that language evolved during the last two millennia. Chronologically ordered and divided into six main sections covering pre-Roman and Latin influences, the ascent of Old English, and the succession of Middle English, Early Modern and then Late Modern English to today's global language, this fascinating book also explores such factors as the history of the printing press, the works of Chaucer, the evolution of The American Dictionary of the English Language - commonly known as Webster's - and the magisterial Oxford English Dictionary, to the use of slang in today's speech and the coming of electronic messaging: language for a post-modern world.The Story of English is a great book for any lover not just of English, but of the history and development of language.

The David Foster Wallace Reader by David Foster Wallace Pdf

Where do you begin with a writer as original and brilliant as David Foster Wallace? Here — with a carefully considered selection of his extraordinary body of work, chosen by a range of great writers, critics, and those who worked with him most closely. This volume presents his most dazzling, funniest, and most heartbreaking work — essays like his famous cruise-ship piece, "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again," excerpts from his novels The Broom of the System, Infinite Jest, and The Pale King, and legendary stories like "The Depressed Person." Wallace's explorations of morality, self-consciousness, addiction, sports, love, and the many other subjects that occupied him are represented here in both fiction and nonfiction. Collected for the first time are Wallace's first published story, "The View from Planet Trillaphon as Seen In Relation to the Bad Thing" and a selection of his work as a writing instructor, including reading lists, grammar guides, and general guidelines for his students. A dozen writers and critics, including Hari Kunzru, Anne Fadiman, and Nam Le, add afterwords to favorite pieces, expanding our appreciation of the unique pleasures of Wallace's writing. The result is an astonishing volume that shows the breadth and range of "one of America's most daring and talented writers" (Los Angeles Times Book Review) whose work was full of humor, insight, and beauty.

The Boys Are Kissing by Zak Zarafshan Pdf

Shortlisted for Best Writer at The Stage Debut Awards 2023 Look, gang, what we need to keep sight of is, this isn't about us. It's not personal... It's about the children. When two 9-year-old boys kiss in the school playground of a small town, two sets of parents are told to 'do something about it' – but neither of them are entirely sure what. Amira is sending inclusive children's books to the school library, whilst her wife Chloe dreams of a kitchen island. Sarah is trying her best not to upset the Mum WhatsApp group, and her husband Matt just really wants to do the right thing – as soon as he can work out what that is. Luckily, here to guide our helpless humans are two cherubic winged guardians of the gays, summonsed to attend to a disturbance in the queer atmos and intervene only where strictly necessary... but where's the fun in being an ethereal being if you can't drop in and cause a scene wearing latex? The Boys Are Kissing is a riotous comedy about angelic intervention, children's birthday parties gone sour, and whether it ever really is 'just about the children', written by 503Five 2019-20 alumni Zak Zarafshan. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at Theatre503, London, in January 2023.

Contracted To Mr. Collins by SJ. Turner Pdf

This is both books of Contracted to Mr. Collins 'The Unusual Proposal' & 'Decisions' Identical twin brothers, Aiden and Max Collins, have always shared everything, even their women. That is until Rebecca D’Angelo came along. The day she was supposed to be applying for her dream position, she came in like a flurry, accidentally tossing her latte on Aiden, the CEO of Collins Enterprises. It was love at first sight. Except, one was too embarrassed, and the other was too angry to know what hit him at the time, honestly. Both amazed and thrilled that she has made it through to the final round of the interviews, Rebecca’s a bundle of nerves when she finds out that Aiden will be conducting them. She’s even more so shocked when not only does he hand her two contracts to consider, but he insists on taking her to lunch. Of course, neither lunch nor the contracts are quite what Rebecca’s expecting, and before she knows it, her life takes a significant turn. However, things aren’t quite what Aiden is expecting either. Max has cancelled the trip Aiden had explicitly sent him on to get him out of town so he could explore Miss D’Angelo without interference. Now, Rebecca is on Max’s radar. An adventure is inevitable when Max takes them all to Jamacia but when Max declares his love for Rebecca, a silent war begins to brew between the two brothers and some serious lines get crossed. In the end, a decision will need to be made and ultimately it will be placed in Rebecca’s hands. Will it be Max or Aiden? Surely she can't have both.
