The Post Office (play)
Play by Rabindranath Tagore
The Post Office (Bengali: Dak Ghar) is a 1912 play by Rabindranath Tagore. It concerns Amal, a child confined to his adoptive uncle's home by an incurable disease. W. Andrew Robinson and Krishna Dutta note that the play "continues to occupy a special place in Tagore's reputation, both within Bengal and in the wider world." It was written in four days. Amal stands in Madhav's courtyard and talks to passers-by, and asks in particular about the places they go. The construction of a new post office nearby prompts the imaginative Amal to fantasize about receiving a letter from the King or being his postman. The village headman mocks Amal, and pretends the illiterate child has received a letter from the king promising that his royal physician will come to attend him. The physician really does come, with a herald to announce the imminent arrival of the king; Amal, however, dies as Sudha comes to bring him flowers. W. B. Yeats was the first person to produce an English-language version of the play; he also wrote a preface to it. It was performed in English for the first time in 1913 by the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, directed by W. B. Yeats and Lady Gregory; this production transferred to the Court Theatre, London, later the same year. The Bengali original was staged at Tagore's Jorasanko theatre in Calcutta in 1917.

Plus (novel)
Novel by Joseph McElroy
Plus is Joseph McElroy's fifth novel. Set in some unspecified future, it tells the story of Imp Plus, a disembodied brain controlling IMP, the Interplanetary Monitoring Platform, in earth orbit. The novel consists of Imp Plus's thoughts as he tries to comprehend his limited existence, while struggling with language, limited memories, and communicating with Ground Control. The plot is driven by Imp Plus's recall of fragments of his past and of language, his improving comprehension of his present, all while his medical condition gradually deteriorates. McElroy denies that the novel is science fiction, unless "science" is used in its etymological sense of "knowing". The novel was reprinted as an e-book by Dzanc Books in 2014, with an introductory 2012 poem "A Green of its Own Breathing" by Sarah Grindley, dedicated to "Joe McElroy &amp; Imp Plus". Sources. McElroy acknowledges three technical sources:
Reception. &lt;templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" /&gt;The gradual derangement of Imp Plus ... is observed with the lurid precision of brilliant microphotography. McElroy's slow, demanding traceries of awareness do not always escape tedium; it is the price of the strange and valuable task he has set himself. An exhausting, disorienting work of discovery.

Answer: Joseph McElroy, Joseph Prince McElroy
Chronicon (Jerome)
4th-century work by St. Jerome
The Chronicon ("Chronicle") or Temporum liber ("Book of Times") was a universal chronicle written by Jerome. It was one of his earliest attempts at history. It was composed c. 380 in Constantinople; this is a translation into Latin of the chronological tables which compose the second part of the "Chronicon" of Eusebius, with a supplement covering the period from 325 to 379. Despite numerous errors taken from Eusebius, and some of his own, Jerome produced a valuable work of universal history, if only for the example which it gave to such later chroniclers as Prosper of Aquitaine, Cassiodorus, and Victor of Tunnuna to continue his annals. In conformity with the "Chronicon" of Eusebius (early 4th century), Jerome dated Creation to 5201 BC. The Chronicle includes a chronology of the events of Greek mythology, based on the work of Hellenistic scholars such as Apollodorus, Diodorus Siculus, and Eusebius. While many of the earlier sections contain legendary characters and events that are not necessarily historically factual, there may be scattered remnants of historical events of late Mycenean Greece from entries of the 12th century BC. (See the historicity of the "Iliad". Notably, Jerome's date for the capture of Troy of 1183 BC corresponds remarkably well with the destruction layer of Troy VIIa, the main candidate for the historical inspiration of legendary Troy, dated to c. 1190 BC.)

Question: Who is the author of Chronicon?
Answer: Jerome, Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus, Saint Jerome, St. Jerome, Hieronymus, Saint Heronimos, Saint Hieronymus, Sophronius Eusebius Hieronymus, Eusebius Hieronymus

2004 novel by Justin Richards

It features the Eighth Doctor, Fitz, Trix, and Miranda. Plot summary. The Council of Eight have set plans for all of time and space. The Doctor's travels are causing difficulties for this plan, so the Council sets off to attack him, and his dear friends. Continuity. The epilogue of the novel offers a possible explanation to the fan asked question of how the Doctor can still exist after the destruction of Gallifrey in "The Ancestor Cell". In that novel, time is reversed to stop Gallifrey or the Time Lords from ever existing, provoking confusion among fans. This novel shows the Doctor giving one of the council of Eight (Soul) some of his life energy to keep him alive. When Soul and Miranda's daughter Zezanne leave in Sabbath's time ship (the "Jonah"), Soul takes on the form of an old man who resembles the First Doctor. They both lose their memories, but believe they are the First Doctor and Susan. The "Jonah" arrives, disguised as a Police Box in 1963, with Octan's Starkiller (replacing the Hand of Omega). This potentially retcons the entire series, giving an alternative explanation to the Doctor's origins without the Time Lords.

Into the Woods (novel)
2006 children's fantasy novel by Lyn Gardner
Into the Woods is a 2006 children's fantasy novel by Lyn Gardner illustrated by Mini Grey. Reception. "Into the Woods" received a starred review from "Kirkus Reviews" who said the novel is "bursting with flavor and good humor" and concluded that "this single long, lovely fairy tale bows to an abundance of classic tales while keeping everything fresh." The Guardian's Kathryn Hughes similarly stated, "Gardner's funky retelling of virtually every fairytale you can remember doesn't just borrow from Perrault and the Grimms but even, cheekily, inhabits Angela Carter's now-classic re-tellings. Add in references to Shrek, Narnia and even Touching the Void, and you have the kind of glorious mish-mash of ancient and modern that is sometimes achieved by a very good pantomime." "Publishers Weekly" concluded, "Gardner has crafted a fast-paced and entertaining adventure filled with cheeky humor and wordplay; even if the book's playful tone precludes the possibility of a dread ending, it's a blast of a journey." "The Guardian"'s Hughes called Grey's illustrations "sly and clever." Also writing for "The Guardian", The Fantastical Reader said the illustrations "are absolutely brilliant and some ... are so realistic that you don't expect to feel the paper under your fingertips."

Pearl (radio play)
Pearl is a 1978 radio play by award-winning English playwright John Arden. Set in England in the 1640s, the play concerns a young Irish political operative named Pearl, who, with playwright Tom Backhouse, attempts to sway the political climate in favour of the British Parliament, as part of a plan to achieve Irish sovereignty. In the late 1970s, Arden's falling out with British theatre led BBC producer Alfred Bradley to invite him to write a play for radio. "Pearl" was the result. Production. John Arden's first radio play was produced in 1955, but subsequently his work for the medium consisted only of a children's nativity play and 1970's "The Bagman". Producer Alfred Bradley had long wanted to produce another Arden play for radio. Arden submitted the script for "Pearl", originally written for the stage, on the basis that it would be more likely to be produced on radio than in the theatre. Melvyn Bragg interviewed Arden and producer Alfred Bradley on 1 July, in a segment of The South Bank Show that took viewers behind the scenes of the production. "Pearl" was produced and broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on 3 July 1978 as an edition of "The Monday Night Play". Critical reception. "Probably England's greatest living playwright," said "The Glasgow Herald's" review of the broadcast. "Arden has the audacity to play understudy to Shakespeare, interjecting music and asides, and monologues, and blood, and using a true to the spirit if not to the fact slice of history to point up the disease of our own time."

Question: Who is the author of Pearl?
Answer: John Arden
