Focus: Fixed Layout Poetry.

Siegfried Sassoon is a significant and famous war poet from the Great War. War poet was a description he did not particularly like.

As an officer in World War I, he was wounded and lauded twice with medals for bravery. His poetry—at times violent, always truthful—used forceful, realistic verse to express his conviction of the stupid brutality and waste of war.

We have produced Siegfried's poems here in ePub3 fixed layout and reflowable formats to give everyone on any device the opportunity to read this amazing poetry. It is also available in PDF formats from the blog post here.

A Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. It follows the adventures of Alonso Quijano, a hidalgo who reads so many chivalric novels that he decides to set out to revive chivalry, under the name Don Quixote. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthly wit in dealing with Don Quixote's rhetorical orations on antiquated knighthood.

Don Quixote is met by the world as it is, initiating such themes as intertextuality, realism, metatheatre, and literary representation.
