Moon of Israel a Tale of the Exodus: Large Print
Moon of Israel A Tale of the Exodus: Large print by H. Rider Haggard Never has Sir Rider Haggard touched a higher standard than in this mighty romance. Never has he given us a more convincing impression of verisimilitude, and never has his creative ingenuity been more fertile and more opulent. Nor has he, nor has any writer in our time, sounded a more dramatic diapason than in the telling of the over-throw of Pharaoh's host in the Red Sea. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
The Merchant of Venice (Collins Classics)
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. 'The quality of mercy is not strain'd,It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven? Bassiano, a noble Venetian, hopes to woo the beautiful heiress Portia. However, he requires financial assistance from his friend Antonio. Antonio agrees, but he, in turn, must borrow from the Jewish moneylender Shylock. As recourse for past ills, Shylock stipulates that the forfeit on the loan must be a pound of Antonio?s flesh. In the most renowned onstage law scene of all time, Portia proves herself one of Shakespeare?s most cunning heroines, disguising herself as a lawyer and vanquishing Shylock?s claims; meanwhile, Shylock triumphs on a humanitarian level with his plea for tolerance: ?Hath not a Jew eyes?? Viewed paradoxically as anti-Semitic, while at the same time powerfully liberal for its time, The Merchant of Venice is at its core a bittersweet drama, exploring the noble themes of prejudice, justice and honour.
