Description:


How should we read a text that does not exist, or present a play
the manuscript of which is lost and the identity of whose author
cannot be established for certain?


Such is the enigma posed by Cardenio ? a play
performed in England for the first time in 1612 or 1613 and
attributed forty years later to Shakespeare (and Fletcher). Its
plot is that of a ?novella? inserted into Don Quixote,
a work that circulated throughout the major countries of Europe,
where it was translated and adapted for the theatre. In England,
Cervantes? novel was known and cited even before it was
translated in 1612 and had inspired Cardenio.


But there is more at stake in this enigma. This was a time when,
thanks mainly to the invention of the printing press, there was a
proliferation of discourses. There was often a reaction when it was
feared that this proliferation would become excessive, and many
writings were weeded out. Not all were destined to survive, in
particular plays for the theatre, which, in many cases, were never
published. This genre, situated at the bottom of the literary
hierarchy, was well suited to the existence of ephemeral works.
However, if an author became famous, the desire for an archive of
his works prompted the invention of textual relics, the restoration
of remainders ruined by the passing of time or, in order to fill in
the gaps, in some cases, even the fabrication of forgeries. Such
was the fate of Cardenio in the eighteenth century.


Retracing the history of this play therefore leads one to wonder
about the status, in the past, of works today judged to be
canonical. In this book the reader

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.
