**The Tempest (Arkangel Complete Shakespeare): This haunting drama of vengeance and forgiveness crowns the group of tragicomic romances that Shakespeare composed at the end of his career. Prospero, wise Duke of Milan, has been deposed by Antonio, his wicked brother, and exiled with his daughter Miranda to a mysterious island. But Prospero possesses supernatural powers. Aided by the spirit Ariel, Prospero uses his magical art to bring his enemies under his control. **Macbeth (Folger Shakespeare Library): In 1603, James VI of Scotland ascended the English throne, becoming James I of England. London was alive with an interest in all things Scottish, and Shakespeare turned to Scottish history for material. He found a spectacle of violence and stories of traitors advised by witches and wizards, echoing James’s belief in a connection between treason and witchcraft. **Great French and Russian Short Stories: Volume 1: The short stories presented in this volume include several by Guy de Maupassant: "Love's Awakening," "Useless Beauty," "In the Moonlight," and "The Horla."
