Robert Nye

Nye fue un prestigioso novelista a la vez que un crítico sagaz, tanto en el ámbito narrativo como en el poético. Fue editor de poesía de The Scotsman, y crítico de poesía de The Times desde 1971 hasta 1996, al tiempo que colaboraba en The Guardian.Sin embargo, y a pesar de haber recibido varios premios en el mundo de la poesía, entre ellos el Eric Gregory Award por su segundo libro de poesía Juvenilia en 1963, o el Premio Cholmondeley, a propuesta de la Sociedad de Autores del Reino Unido,por su antología The rain and the glass, 2004, su obra poética ha quedado relegada injustamente a un segundo plano. Incomprensiblemente, en España su obra poética no había sido traducida hasta la fecha.

Sir Walter Raleighsoldier, explorer, adventurer, lover of Queen Elizabethemerges from the pages of history and myth, full-blooded, passionate, and profoundly human. After unjustly languishing for years in the Tower, Raleigh undertakes one final voyage in search of gold. On his doomed quest he contends with Spanish forces, mutiny, pirates, court intrigue, and disease, all under the shadow of the executioners blade awaiting him back home. Along the way, he also recounts his storied rise from humble origins into the Virgin Queens favor and court--and ultimately her bed. This powerful and action-packed novel breathes life into the most dazzling yet most enigmatic of Elizabethans.Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fictionnovels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more.

Narrated by young Mr Pickleherring, an actor who played Rosalind, Portia, Juliet, Lady Macbeth and Cleopatra, this fictional biography of Shakespeare covers every aspect of the bard''s life and work

Our guide to the life of the Bard is an actor called Pickleherring, who asserts that as a boy he was an original member of Shakespeares acting troupe. In an attic above a brothel in Restoration Londona half century after Shakespeare has departed the stagePickleherring, now an old man, sits down to write the full story of his former friend, mentor, and master. Fond, faithful Pickleherring has forgotten nothing over the years, and using sources both firsthand and far-fetched he means to set the record straight. Was Shakespeare ever actually "in love"? Did he write his own plays? Who was the Dark Lady of the Sonnets? Brilliantly in tune with todays Shakespeare renaissance, Robert Nye gives us an outrageous, language-loving, and edifying romp through the life and times of the greatest writer who ever lived.Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fictionnovels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more.
