MP3 Audio CD. Seventeen is a very difficult age ? nobody knows it better than Booth Tarkington, one out of the three writers ever to receive the Pulitzer Prize on more than one occasions. Though the author?s Pulitzers were not for this book ? he received one for his Alice Adams and one for The Magnificent Ambersons -Seventeen: A Tale of Youth and Summer Time offers the reader great entertainment, a humorous, satirical, yet kind and loving take of what adolescence means and of how dramatic the first love in one?s life can be.No wonder the book became a bestseller in an instant when it was published. The protagonist of the book is William Baxter, a seventeen-year-old youth who is on his summer vacation in a small town in the American Midwest when he meets and instantly falls in love with Lola Pratt, a young lady of the same age who has come to visit William?s neighbors. The story revolves around his courtship of beautiful and flirtatious Lola and eventually ends with the young lady leaving town when the summer vacation is over. Many of the book?s critics praised Seventeen for the loving, understanding, yet sharp and very accurate account it offers about adolescence. The book does indeed remind the reader what it felt like to be an adolescent in a moving and detailed manner, with lots of humor and a touch of irony at times. The book has enjoyed a really long-lived popularity. It was first published in 1916 and, since then, it was made into a silent film (in the same year that the book came out), a theater play, a musical entitled Hello, Lola!,released in 1918, and another onein 1951, bearing the original title, as well as a radio show created by Orson Welles in 1938., 0, MP3 Audio CD. The Doctor's Dilemma is a drama written by George Bernard Shaw first shown in 1906. It is a drama about some issues of the ethical and principled predicaments made by some degrees of health and fitness means, and the disputes in the middle of the needs of private medicine as a business venture and a serious profession. George Bernard Shaw, recognized at his persistence commonly as Bernard Shaw, was an Irish dramatist who had both British and Irish citizenship, critic and polemicist whose sway on Western theatre, culture and politics prolonged from the 1880s to his death and thereafter. He had over 60 dramas, consisting of most important works including Man and Superman, Pygmalion and Saint Joan. With a variety integrating both contemporary humor and historic metaphor, Shaw was the primary playwright of his time. He was the first one to be awarded both a Nobel Prize and an Academy Award, being given the 1925 Nobel Prize in Literature and sharing the 1938 Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for the motion picture version of Pygmalion. He was born in Dublin, then emigrated to London where he made himself well-known as a writer and novelist. In the middle of 1880s he was a valued theatre and music critic. Ensuing a political awareness, he associated himself with the gradualist Fabian Society and became its mostly known pamphleteer. He had been making dramas for years before his first public prestige, 1894's Arms and the Man. Inspired by Henrik Ibsen, he pursued to present a new pragmatism into English-language play, using his dramas as tools to propagate his political, social and religious thoughts. In the beginning of 20th century his being a playwright was held with a series of analytical and famous feats such as Major Barbara, The Doctor's Dilemma and Caesar and Cleopatra., 0<
