Books with author Kathleen Kuiper

In Shakespeares time, the term comedy did not necessarily denote something funny or amusing. Rather, through such plays such as A Midsummer Nights Dream and The Merchant of Venice, the playwright examines other defining characteristics of comedic dramathe social interactions of common folks and a focus on the contradictions inherent in everyday life. Readers explore the major themes of Shakespearean comedies, which have enchanted readers and theater-goers alike for centuries.

Some of the worlds most celebrated works of artthe Mona Lisa and The Birth of Venus, to name just twowere produced during the period of cultural reawakening known as the Renaissance. Painters of the era incorporated new techniques and ideals while reflecting in their works the dramatic social, religious, and political changes of the time. Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and El Greco are just a few of the notable Renaissance artists profiled in this volume, which also includes vibrant images of a number of influential works.

In the rugged Oregon wilderness in the late 1800's, off the coast of the rocky and isolated Cape Arago, it was not usual or acceptable for a woman to have a position of responsibility such as a lighthouse keeper. Sarah Johansen is aware that people in the nearest town of Empire City would like to see her give up her post to a more suitable candidate. But after recovering from losing her young husband- the keeper at the Gregory Light Station, and being forced into the role of keeper herself, Sarah has finally found purpose in her life and pride in her abilities to tend to her island home and the light that she's come to love. In the midst of trying to convince the Lighthouse Service and the city council that she is a strong woman who is fully capable of living on the isolated island and taking superior care of the light tower, a ship wrecks in the fog, leaving Sarah an unwelcome and injured guest- a rugged and charming man named Samuel Parker, who threatens the safety and self-confidence Sarah has found. It doesn't help that every time she looks at him her breath catches and her hands shake from his striking good looks and she can't get anything done around the light tower or keeper's house while he needs her constant care. When her old assistant keeper, Gary disappears and frightening strangers begin sneaking around the island at night, Sarah realizes that she needs Samuel around more than she'd like to believe. Unfortunately she’s already pushed him away enough that he may not want her now. And if the Empire City Council gets their way, Sarah may not have a home on the island after all.
