Yet Again
- Author: Beerbohm Max Sir
- Genre: Authors, A-Z
Sir Henry Maximilian Beerbohm (1872-1956) was an English parodist and caricaturist. His first book, The Works of Max Beerbohm, was published in 1896. Having been interviewed by George Bernard Shaw himself, in 1898 he followed Shaw as drama critic for the Saturday Review, on whose staff he remained until 1910. From 1935 onwards, he was an occasional radio broadcaster, talking about cars and carriages and music halls for the BBC. His wit is shown often enough in his caricatures but his letters contain a carefully blended humour-a gentle admonishing of the excesses of the day-whilst remaining firmly tongue in cheek. Beerbohm's best known works are: Yet Again (1909), A Christmas Garland (1912), a parody of literary styles, and Seven Men (1919), which includes Enoch Soames, the tale of a poet who makes a deal with the devil to find out how posterity will remember him. In 1911 he wrote Zuleika Dobson, or, An Oxford Love Story, his only novel. He also wrote And Even Now (1920).

- Author: aquinas thomas
- Genre: Aquinas, Thomas
One of the most famous philosophical writings in history, and major work by an Italian priest of the Catholic Church in the Dominican Order, and an immensely influential philosopher and theologian in the tradition of scholasticism, Saint Thomas Aquinas. In “Summa Theologica” the author tried to systematize the results of his work, to present them in brief and accessible form, first of all for students. The book consists of three parts - pars prima, pars prima secundae and pars secunda secundae, pars tertia. This volume comprises questions concerning the nature and attributes of God, the second includes articles devoted to the act of Creation and angels, and the third deals with a man and Providence. A disputable issue is set in the title of the article, then several arguments, giving contradictory answers, follow, along with the solution and answers to the arguments. Each chapter is connected to the previous and others with the general system of argumentation and provided with inner references. The treatise was not finished by Thomas Aquinas, due to his ecstatic vision, after which he stopped writing.
