Book Description
Pandora's Box: A Tragedy in Three Acts by Frank Wedekind is an exciting play premised on the pillars of greed and lust. Wedekind had written two plays on the central character, Lulu, of which this is the second one. The play tells the story of a woman in a male dominated society and is divided into three acts. It moves at a brisk pace, showing how Lulu has evolved as a person. Wedekind creates characters central to the protagonist's progress in life but not once does it feel as if the rest of the cast in this play is undermined. Each character, including Countess Geschwitz as Lulu's lover, Alwa as her husband or Jack in the final act are complex personalities that Wedekind deconstructs slowly over the course of the play. Transitions from each act into the next are full of intense drama and adrenaline rush. Pandora's Box: A Tragedy in Three Acts is in many ways, a revolutionary play. It showcases the struggles of a strong headed woman who stands up against the patriarchal stranglehold of society. Each male character in Lulu's life is portrayed in a manner which highlights their insecurities. In the end, Pandora's Box: A Tragedy in Three Acts is about sacrifice, seduction, lust and death. It hinges on the primal instincts of man and draws heavily from the way Wedekind understands the society he lives in. This is a highly recommended play for literature enthusiasts and general readers alike. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Deluxe A4 Edition of this new version of the whole story of the Bounty, covers everything, from its disastrous crew selection, the Mutiny, incitement of Polynesian wars, trials, executions, pardons, kidnaps, rapes, enslavement to the brutal island murders. Make no mistake; it may have been the beginning of the Romantic Age but there was nothing romantic about the mutiny on the Bounty, why did Fletcher Christian choose oblivion over common sense on that hot sunny morning so long ago? Was it because far from freeing the crew from oppression he was actually mentally unstable? Where exactly was Peter Heywood and why did half the crew choose certain death in an open boat rather than sail away with the mutineers? Just some of the questions answered in this book, for the first time the whole story, the complete story, including the Pandora's hunt for the mutineers and the Admiralty's revenge, and the true price of Peter Heywood's freedom.
