How to Read and Understand Shakespeare
English | Size: 10.76 GB
Category: Video Tutorials

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Shakespeare—perhaps the greatest literary artist in history—presents a fundamental paradox to his audience. No other Western writer is so
celebrated and revered. His plays are seen, read, and studied throughout the world as models of high culture and timeless art. His best-known characters have become mythic symbols in our culture. His poetry and turns of phrase permeate our spoken language. Shakespeare enjoys near-universal agreement among scholars as well as the general public that his works are among the greatest of humanity’s cultural expressions, and that we all should know and understand them.

Nelson Mandela: His Life and Legacy [PDTV MP4)]
English | Size: 646.37 MB
Category: History

He is undoubtedly one of the greatest statesmen of the 20th century. The mammoth task of leading a transition from a country divided by centuries of violence and race into a state that served as an example to others was always going to need a special breed of leader. It found one. His name was Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, and he is no more. Though his end was long drawn out and expected, the loss of so colossal a figure still sent a shock through the nation. In the continental’s history there has not been anyone so universally recognised and admired. His personal stature, unmistakable presence and charisma were the reason the country, firmly planted at the foot of Africa, could extend its influence to the rest of the world. The deft hand with which he led South Africa towards united statehood did not go unnoticed. Inevitably, the discussion over his legacy shall begin in earnest. Much has already been said and written about him, but such titanic influencers of humanity never cease to be a talking point. The meaning of Mandela is likely to be debated for generations to come.
