In 1888, Horace L. Traubel, a young political radical and aspiring writer in Camden, New Jersey, began systematically recording his daily conversations with his friend, Walt Whitman. He continued for four years, until Whitman's death in 1892, amassing a lovingly detailed record whose accuracy, fidelity, and immediacy remain unsurpassed in the history of biography. With Walt Whitman in Camden is a virtual transcript of the daily conversations between Whitman and Traubel, describing Whitman's thoughts and opinions, the arrivals and departures of visitors from all over the world, articles and letters he received and wrote, and hundreds of details of his life on Mickle Street in Camden. Traubel published the first three volumes before his death in 1919; the remaining volumes have appeared, one by one, at widely separated intervals. The publication of Volumes 8 & 9 marks the long-awaited completion of "the most truthful biography in the language."

With Walt Whitman in Camden, Volume 9

Understanding Hamlet provides a detailed analysis of the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare. This analysis begins with the principle that all aspects of a play, including character and theme, are secondary to, and must be understood within, the sequence of events in the play itself. The sequence of events is taken as the primary means of understanding the playwright's intentions, and it brings us closest to the experience that we have when we watch a theatrical performance, which is the play's proper vehicle and setting. Inevitably this analysis leads to a review and reconsideration of some of the popular beliefs about the play and its meaning.

<p>Our daily life is composed of many simple moments, moments that we often underestimate, or disregard altogether. But what if we want to learn more from these moments? Put another way, what if circumstances compelled us to learn more from these moments, whether we wanted to or not? Such is the dilemma that the characters in each of these stories face, as they discover the mystical amid the ordinary, with eyes wide open.</p>
