The Metamorphosis ( An Original Classic) by Franz Kafka
- ISBN-13 : 978-8182478688
The metamorphosis’ Is a short novel by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915. It is often cited as one of the seminal works of fiction of the 20th century and is widely studied in colleges and universities across the Western world. The story begins with a travelling salesman, Gregor SA MS a, waking to find himself transformed into an insect. “When Gregor SA MS a woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin.” with this startling, bizarre, yet surprisingly funny first sentence, Franz Kafka begins his masterpiece, ‘the metamorphosis’. It is the story of a young man who, transformed overnight into a giant beetlelike insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, a quintessentially alienated man. A harrowing—though absurdly comic—meditation on human feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and isolation, ‘the metamorphosis’ Has taken its place as one of the most widely read and influential works of twentieth-century fiction.

The Psychology of Singing by David C. Taylor (H.B)
- ISBN-13 : 978-8182478985
- Dimensions : 22.5 x 14.5 x 1.5 cm
- Hardcover : 210 pages
- Edgar finalist and Nero Award winner, David C. Taylor’s first novel in the Michael Cassidy thriller Series, Night Life, was nominated for Best Novel at the Mystery Writers of America’s 2016 Edgar Awards. The ground-breaking, comprehensively rational and scientific critical analysis of modern methods of singing instruction. Probably the single most useful book on singing ever written, this work is a critical analysis which exposes the shortcomings and failures of modern methods of singing instructions. Having done so, it then proceeds to elaborate on the superseded method, namely bel canto or the so called old Italian method. The author establishes the validity of the latter method by reference to the results it obtained. He convincingly argues that the decline in the quality of singers can be arrested only by a return to the bel canto method. A peculiar gap exists between the accepted theoretical basis of instruction in singing and the actual methods of vocal teachers. Part I of this work contains a review of modern methods. In Part II a critical analysis is offered of certain theories of the vocal action which receive much attention in practical instruction. Part III contains a summary of all present knowledge of the voice. In Part IV the information about the vocal action obtained from the two sources is combined -the scientific knowledge of mechanical processes, and the empirical knowledge derived from attentive listening to voices.

- Dimensions : 22.5 x 14.5 x 2 cm
The designing and making of Costume is a craft—sometimes artistic—with which we are all more or less concerned. It is also, in its own way, one of the living arts, that is, it is still carried forward experimentally by experts directly attached to the “business.” It has not yet been subjected to rules of good taste formulated by Academies and Universities; but when Inigo Jones, the great architect, was asked to make some designs for fancy dress, he based them on the Five Orders of Architecture, and ponderous fancies they were.
