The release date for the English version of 'Arcadia' by Tom Stoppard is Sep 1994. If you enjoy this novel, it is available for buy as a paperback from Barnes & Noble or Indigo, as an ebook on the Amazon Kindle store, or as an audiobook on Audible.

Arcadia oscillates between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, exploring themes such as the essence of time and truth, the distinctions between the Classical and Romantic temperaments, and the destructive power of sex on our personal trajectories. It is "Stoppard's richest, most ravishing comedy to date, a play of wit, intellect, language, brio and... emotion," focusing on the mysteries—romantic, scientific, literary—that engage the minds and emotions of individuals whose affections and lives meet across scientific levels and decades in this play. According to Vincent Canby of The New York Times, "it's like having a dream of levitation: you're instantly airborne, soaring, banking, and doing loop-the-loops, and then, just when you think you're about to plummet to Earth, swooping to a gentle touchdown of not easily described sweetness and sorrow... exhilarating."
