Four Tragedies and Octavia
Translated with an Introduction by
E. F. Watling
Although their themes are borrowed from
Greek drama, these exuberant and often
macabre plays focus on action rather than
moral concerns and are strikingly different
in style from Seneca’s prose writing. This
collection includes Phaedra, Oedipus,
Thyestes, and The Trojan Women.

South is veteran explorer Sir Ernest
Shackleton’s own first-hand account of

to Antarctica aboard the Endurance in
1914. As Shackleton and his team journey
across treacherous seas and a wilderness
of glaciers and snow fields, alone in the
world’s most unforgiving environment,
the scale of their courage and heroism
becomes movingly clear.
