The Misanthrope, The Miser, and Other Plays

Molière
17th Century French Theatre

The Misanthrope, The Miser, and Other Plays

Molière was a seventeenth-century playwright and I have seen readers approach him with a comparable trepidation to which I’ve seen when high school students approach Shakespeare for the first time.

The Middle Parts of Fortune

Frederic Manning
Interwar UK Literature

The Middle Parts of Fortune

The Middle Parts of Fortune was published anonymously in 1929, only to be censored and re-issued as Her Privates We in 1930. I’m always on the lookout for good fiction around WWI, so I was excited to find this book on one of our trips to a small used bookstore for my birthday a few months ago.
