Der Auftrag der Zwillinge
Thriller
by Lisa Sandlin, Thomas Wörtche, Andrea Stumpf
Beaumont, Texas, im Dezember 1973, während der Watergate-Affäre.

by Larry D Carver
Rochester and the pursuit of pleasure provides a reading of Rochester's poems, dramatic works, and letters in a biographical context.

It also reveals that Rochester's work clusters about a central theme, the pursuit of pleasure, a pursuit motivated by a courtship of purity that grew out of Rochester's Christian and God-fearing upbringing. This rhetoric of courtship, in turn, reveals the unity of Rochester's work as the courtier and his various personae try to persuade his audiences, secular and divine, of his worth.
