Too old to move with the times; too young to let go of their dreams.Village schoolteacher Platonov is a man who is loved by women. Despite his best intentions he is drawn into a series of extramarital affairs that all hold the promise of escape from the provincial reality where he and his circle of friends are trapped. Consumed by bitterness and disappointment; they attempt to fill the void in their lives with sex and vodka; blaming their fathers for the mess theyrsquo;ve been left in.Sons Without Fathers is a brand-new adaptation of Chekhovrsquo;s remarkable first play. Helena Kaut-Howsonrsquo;s version chooses to focus on just one of the many themes covered in the original text ndash; the predicament of a disaffected generation left adrift in a world without hope. Updated to modern-day Russia; the play intertwines the central story with contemporary political issues.

I wanted Piano/Vocal/ Guitar; but I didnt make sure and ended up getting the Easy Piano. Im not extremely happy about that but it was my fault; and besides; I love me some Bruno; so; ended up keeping it.Great little song book for beginners. I not sure if its in the original keys for all the songs. This is a simplified version. I felt a lot of the songs were lower in range; but lowered to fit for easy piano (maybe for singing too). I got this book used; so it didnt hurt as much to hold on to it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Elaine Zimmermannice0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
