Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare (Hardcover)
For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.?* *Romeo and Juliet is one of the most popular and frequently enacted plays penned by Shakespeare. Despite the violent feud between families, the play weaves a fated love story between two young lovers, the ?Montague? Romeo and the ?Capulet? Juliet. Their intense love leads to inseparability between lovers and open warfare between families, as ?Violent delights have violent ends.?* *Written at an early stage of Shakespeare?s literary career, every line breathes a certain passion and newness. It is beautifully adorned in imagery and symbolism. The play is often quoted, even today, as a quintessential example of ‘immortality of love’.*

An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde (Hardcover)
An Ideal Husband revolves around a blackmail scheme that forces a married couple to reexamine their moral standards — providing, along the way, a wry commentary on the rarity of politicians who can claim to be ethically pure. A supporting cast of young lovers, society matrons, an overbearing father, and a formidable femme fatale continually exchange sparkling repartee, keeping the play moving at a lively pace. Like most of Wilde’s plays, this scintillating drawing-room comedy is wise, well-constructed, and deeply satisfying. An instant success at its 1895 debut, the play continues to delight audiences over one hundred years later. An Ideal Husband is a must-read for Wilde fans, students of English literature, and anyone delighted by wit, urbanity, and timeless sophistication.
