Set in an England that was earthy, violent, superstitious, and brimming with a new sense of national purpose, FALSTAFF brings to life not only the man himself but the whole Elizabethan era. Here we see what history and the Bard overlooked or purposely left out of his what really happened that celebrated night when Falstaff and Justice Shallow heard the chimes at midnight; who killed Hotspur; how many men really fell at Agincourt; what actually transpired at the coronation of Henry V (ìHarry the Prigî) and much, much more!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/robert-nye-books\"\u003eRobert Nye\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1979\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sphere\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0722164726\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sphere","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £28.47","offer_id":47900901900465,"sku":"SB-0722164726-C3","price":28.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0722164726.jpg?v=1789393406"},{"product_id":"merlin","title":"Merlin","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere is Merlin as he has never been seen before.

In his book, Robert Nye uses historical documents that attest to the existence of Faust by throwing some light on his personality, by mixing in the elements of a hilarious romantic fiction. The book presents itself as the diary of Christophe Wagner, the young disciple of the alchemist, who takes us on a hair-raising pilgrimage to Rome following an unexpected Faust, an inveterate drunkard, a debauched and vicious knight of industry. Also on the trip are Hélène de Troie, mistress of the mage, ugly pain in the ass, mythomaniac and mystic, as well as seven lovely young girls, each practicing a different erotic specialty for the benefit of this young bawdy Wagner. Also cross the story Henry VIII, Luther, Margaret of Navarre, Calvin, etc. Fascinating like a whodunnit, joyously obscene like a contemporary Rabelais, Robert Nye's Faust is one of those works from which you come out with the impression of being more intelligent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/robert-nye-books\"\u003eRobert Nye\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1982\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Penguin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780140058154\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £2.02","offer_id":47909150326961,"sku":"SB-014005815X-C4","price":2.02,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/014005815X.jpg?v=1789689920"},{"product_id":"mrs-shakespeare-the-complete-works","title":"Mrs. Shakespeare: The Complete Works","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is April 1594. William Shakespeare, a budding poet and playwright plying his trade in London, magnanimously invites his estranged wife Anne Hathaway to come down from Stratford-on-Avon to celebrate his thirtieth birthday.\" \"\"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?\" he inquires politely as she arrives. \"No thanks,\" she responds.\" \"This playful but gently probing novel portrays Shakespeare as one has never seen him before, through the eyes of Anne, a tamed but not unloving shrew. Writing her memoirs seven years after his death, she reminisces about her now-famous husband, recalling in particular that unforgettable week in April 1594 and what happened to her in a certain strange bed in his lodgings above a fishmonger's shop - an enormous four-poster that the playwright referred to as their \"private playhouse.\" Mrs. Shakespeare's tales offer insights into Will's secret lives, including solving the mystery of the second best bed that he bequeathed her, as well as the question that has intrigued countless scholars through the centuries: to whom and for whom the Dark Sonnets were written.\" \"In telling these stories, and many others, Anne Hathaway casts a brilliant new light on Shakespeare, providing a very close look at the master by one who shared his bed but never bothered to read him. Robert Nye knows Shakespeare as well as any living scholar or historian, and his use of fiction to recreate the Bard's world brings him and Anne Hathaway wonderfully alive.
