A three-part BBC Radio drama about modern-day spying set in Cairo against a backdrop of the "Arab Spring". Hard-up Coptic art expert Duncan Kavanagh scrapes a living as a private English language tutor and by showing tourists around the ancient churches of Cairo. He lives with his feisty, politically-aware, 15-year-old daughter Ola, who is half-Egyptian, in a modest flat they can barely afford. Since the revolution, the situation has become ever harder for Duncan with tourists in short supply. When approached by seductive Canadian student Tara Moore to deliver a letter - for money - to a prominent Egyptian politician whose son Duncan teaches, he accepts. It's a decision that will solve his short-term financial problems but embroil him in a complex web of secrets and misinformation and a struggle for his own and his daughter's survival. Written and directed by John Dryden. Starring Nigel Lindsay, Aiysha Hart and Sarah Goldberg.

Следующий из серии сборников, представляющих в переводах составителя самую знаменитую часть творчества поэтов, собранных в уникальных антологиях – «Антологии антологий. Поэты США» и «Антологии антологий. Поэты Великобритании».

This authoritative edition was originally published in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of Frank Kermode. It brings together a unique combination of Dryden's poetry and prose - all the major poems in full, literary criticism, and translations - to give the essence of his work and thinking. John Dryden (1631-1700) was the leading writer of his day and a major cultural spokesman following the restoration of Charles II in 1660. His work includes political poems, satire, religious apologias, translations, critical essays and plays. This anthology includes all the major poems such as MacFlecknoe and Absalom and Achitophel as well as Dryden's classical translations; his versions of Homer, Horace, and Ovid are reproduced in full. There are also substantial selections from Dryden's Virgil, Juvenal, and other classical writers. Fables, Ancient and Modern, taken from Chaucer, Ovid, Boccaccio, and Homer, his last and possibly greatest work, also appears in full.

Политическая сатира в стихах. Высмеивает воинственно настроенных пуритан, выступавших за отстранение герцога Йоркского от престолонаследия ввиду его приверженности католической церкви, а тж. против покровительствовавшего ему короля. Под Давидом в сатире подразумевается Карл II, под Авессаломом - его сын Иаков, герцог Монмутский (красивый и неверный), под Ахитофелем - лорд Шафтсбери, под Зимри - герцог Бекингемский, под Абдиелем - Дж. Монк. Автору столь мастерски удалась стилизация под библейский текст, что у читателя создается впечатление о повторяемости человеческой истории.
