Humans ask this question frequently, what is love? A lot of us believe that we know the true meaning of the word, while in reality; it is a word that has a lot of definitions according to each person's point of view. Some think that love can be told by words, others think it's something felt by actions. But the problem isn't in the meaning of the word. The real question is how far could you go for someone you love? To what extent would you endure and bear the pain subjected by the one you love? When is it time to let go? Is it possible? "Ironic isn't it, we ignore the ones who adore us, adore the ones that ignore us, love the ones who hurt us, and hurt the ones that love us? " Jordan Neil Yet, sometimes that hurt makes us blind to see the truth. Or maybe what you think is the truth, is actually the camouflage of the truth. Sometimes the truth isn't on the surface. You have to see what lies beyond that...You have to look for the truth behind truth.

At only thirty years old, he is the proud owner of one the most successful hedge funds and resides in a posh three-story penthouse on the most prominent street in the Big Apple. He is known on the street as a devoted philanthropist renowned for his good-looks and obnoxiously infinite bank account. Nevertheless, David struggles internally for the balance of what truly inspires him while at the same time trying to fulfill his deceased father's expectations. Ultimately he fills this void in the eyes of an alluring French actress and learns what truly fulfills him... love. It seems that nothing can keep David from being with her but the closer he gets, the more it seems someone is trying to sabotage the relationship. Slowly, David discovers that not only is someone out to ruin him, but that he and those close to him are in extreme danger.Living in a suburb of the Big Apple since a teen, Viktor Kozlov became the most sought-after assassin, just like his father before him. He's been hired by the government, the mafia and anyone who could afford him for his extraordinary ability to make his "hits" appear as accidental deaths. However, Viktor struggles for the balance of who he is and who he is destined to be until one day when an unusual client arrives at his house with an extra unusual request.Don't Bite the Apple is a suspenseful thriller that will keep you pleading for clues to solve the mystery of David's fate.

Success is not measured by wealth; rather, it has to do with the difference between what you were born with and what you did with it. In that search for who you are, the greater your access to money, the more temptations that are available to you and those around you, especially in the Big Apple.

After an interval of some months or years, and at Phlius, a town of Peloponnesus, the tale of the last hours of Socrates is narrated to Echecrates and other Phliasians by Phaedo the 'beloved disciple.' The Dialogue necessarily takes the form of a narrative, because Socrates has to be described acting as well as speaking. The minutest particulars of the event are interesting to distant friends, and the narrator has an equal interest in them. During the voyage of the sacred ship to and from Delos, which has occupied thirty days, the execution of Socrates has been deferred. (Compare Xen. Mem.) The time has been passed by him in conversation with a select company of disciples. But now the holy season is over, and the disciples meet earlier than usual in order that they may converse with Socrates for the last time. Those who were present, and those who might have been expected to be present, are mentioned by name. There are Simmias and Cebes (Crito), two disciples of Philolaus whom Socrates 'by his enchantments has attracted from Thebes' (Mem.), Crito the aged friend, the attendant of the prison, who is as good as a friend-these take part in the conversation.

Based on the conviction that only translators who write poetry themselves can best re-create the celebrated and timeless tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, the Greek Tragedy in New Translations series offers new translations that go beyond the literal meaning of the Greek in order to evoke the poetry of the originals. The tragedies collected here were originally available as single volumes. This new collection retains the informative introductions and explanatory notes of the original editions, with Greek line numbers and a single combined glossary added for easy reference.
This volume collects for the first time three of Sophocles most moving tragedies, all set in mythical Thebes: Oedipus the King, perhaps the most powerful of all Greek tragedies; Oedipus at Colonus, a story that reveals the reversals and paradoxes that define moral life; and Antigone, a touchstone of thinking about human conflict and human tragedy, the role of the divine in human life, and the degree to which men and women are the creators of their own destiny.

In hierdie drama word die leser/gehoor gekonfronteer met die gevolge van keuses waarmee bykans alle Suid-Afrikaners kan identifiseer: kwessies soos emigrasie, die behoud van bande met die geboorteland, nagevolge van die Angolese bosoorlog, moorde op bejaardes en sosiale onsekerhede as gevolg van kriminele geweld. Hiermee gee Opperman dramaties gestalte aan die gedagte dat die persoonlike dikwels ’n politieke strekking het. Ook ander verwysingsraamwerke tree na vore, waaronder die invloed van die geskiedenis en die soeke na identiteit.

I53 6 9-facing p. 204 THE MUMMERS PLAY AND ITS CONGENERS The Mummers Play. years ago, I attempted, in TheMediaeval Stage, to give an account of the Mummers Play, as one of several ludi of the folk which involve an element of mimesis. Since then, much additional material has been collected on the play and its congeners, notably by the late Reginald Tiddy and Cecil Sharp, and by Professor C. R. Baskervill, Mr. Douglas Kennedy, and Mr. Stuart Piggott and fresh light has been thrown on the possible origin of such ludi by the discovery of close analogues still surviving in various parts of the Balkans. It seems, therefore, worth while to go over the ground again, and to bring together the threads of the old and the new evidence with regard to this singular and long-enduring seasonal ceremony. In 1903 I was able to make use of twenty-nine examples of the play. I can now draw upon well over a hundred, more or less complete, together with a few entangled in ludi of other types. Probably there are others, even in print, which have eluded my search, and there are references, in Tiddys valuable study and elsewhere, to performances at various places from which no texts, so far as I know, are upon record. But my hundred or so examples cover the greater part of the country, and extend to Wales, the Isle of Man, the eastern coast-line of Ireland, and the Lowlands of Scotland.
