The Art of War (Dellarte della guerra), is one of the lesser-read works of Florentine statesman and political philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli.The format of The Art of War was in socratic dialogue. The purpose, declared by Fabrizio (Machiavellis persona) at the outset, "To honor and reward virtu, not to have contempt for poverty, to esteem the modes and orders of military discipline, to constrain citizens to love one another, to live without factions, to esteem less the private than the public good." To these ends, Machiavelli notes in his preface, the military is like the roof of a palazzo protecting the contents.Written between 1519 and 1520 and published the following year, it was the only historical or political work printed during Machiavellis lifetime, though he was appointed official historian of Florence in 1520 and entrusted with minor civil duties.Many, Lorenzo, have held and still hold the opinion, that there is nothing which has less in common with another, and that is so dissimilar, as civilian life is from the military. Whence it is often observed, if anyone designs to avail himself of an enlistment in the army..

Song of the Lark is the third novel by American author Willa Cather, written in 1915. It is generally considered to be the second novel in Cathers Prairie Trilogy, following O Pioneers! (1913) and preceding My Antonia (1918).The book tells the story of a talented artist born in a small town in Colorado who discovers and develops her singing voice. Her story is told against the backdrop of the burgeoning American West in which she was born in a town along the rail line, of fast-growing Chicago near the turn of the twentieth century, and of the audience for singers of her skills in the US compared to Europe. Thea Kronborg grows up, learning herself, her strengths and her talent, until she reaches success.The title comes from a painting of the same name by Jules Breton in 1884 and part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.FRIENDS OF CHILDHOODDr. Howard Archie had just come up from a game of pool with the Jewish clothier and two traveling men who happened to be staying overnight in Moonstone.

The Importance of Being Earnest, A Trivial Comedy for Serious People is a play by Oscar Wilde. First performed on 14 February 1895 at the St Jamess Theatre in London, it is a farcical comedy in which the protagonists maintain fictitious person to escape burdensome social obligations. Working within the social conventions of late Victorian London, the plays major themes are the triviality with which it treats institutions as serious as marriage, and the resulting satire of Victorian ways.Contemporary reviews all praised the plays humour, though some were cautious about its explicit lack of social messages, while others foresaw the modern consensus that it was the culmination of Wildes artistic career so far. Its high farce and witty dialogue have helped make The Importance of Being Earnest Wildes most enduringly popular play.The successful opening night marked the climax of Wildes career but also heralded his downfall. The Marquess of Queensberry, whose son Lord Alfred Douglas was Wildes lover, planned to present the writer with a bouquet of rotten vegetables and disrupt the show. Wilde was tipped off and Queensberry was refused admission.
