When his first album made him an unlikely star in the late 1960s Leonard Cohen was hailed as the new poet of song. His melodies were hauntingly melodic but his lyrics were like no one else's
- poignant romantic mystical & darkly comic. Already a poet & a novelist Cohen had found another calling in song... The Songs of Leonard Cohen" " Songs from a Room" & " Songs of Love & Hate" were the titles of his first three albums. Eight more would follow over the next 40 years. In this collector's edition can be found the lyrics to over 100 of those classic songs many of them now recorded by new generations of singers that include U2 Nick Cave Rufus Wainwright & Teddy Thompson. This unique collection demonstrates why."

Collecting three comedies that show Aristophanes tackling the consequences of war & social upheaval in Athens with his characteristic wit Lysistrata & Other Plays" is translated from the Greek with an introduction & notes by Alan H. Sommerstein in " Penguin Classics". Writing at a time of political & social crisis in Athens Aristophanes was an eloquent yet bawdy challenger to the demagogue & the sophist. In Lysistrata the titular heroine persuades the women of Greece to withhold sex from their husbands forcing them to end the Peloponnesian War; & in " The Archanians" a lone peasant enters into a private peace treaty with the Spartans much to the chagrin of his fellow Athenians. The darker comedy of " The Clouds" satirises Athenian philosophers " Socrates" in particular & reflects the uncertainties of a generation in which all traditional religious & ethical beliefs were being challenged. For this edition Alan H. Sommerstein has completely revised his translation of the three plays bringing out the full nuances of Aristophanes ribald humour & intricate wordplay with a new introduction explaining the historical & cultural background to the plays. Aristophanes (c.4 45-386 BC) was probably born in Athens. Little is known about his life but there is a portrait of him in " Platos Symposium". He was twice threatened with prosecution in the 420s for his outspoken attacks on the prominent politician Cleon but in 405 he was publicly honoured & crowned for promoting Athenian civic unity in " The Frogs". Aristophanes had his first comedy produced when he was about twenty-one & wrote forty plays in all. The eleven surviving plays of Aristophanes are published in the " Penguin Classics" series as " The Birds & Other Plays" " Lysistrata & Other Plays" " The Wasps & Other Plays" & " The Frogs & Other Plays". If you enjoyed " Lysistrata & Other Plays" you might like Aristophanes " The Birds & Other Plays" also available in " Penguin Classics"." ...
