Козима фон Бюлов Петер Хакс
ISBN: 978-5-4467-2141-2 Год издания: 2015 Издательство: ФТМ Язык: Русский Заключительная часть трилогии Петера Хакса «Музы». Козима и Ганс Бюловы гостят в усадьбе Вагнера. Ганс – дирижер. И у него временно отнялась одна рука, что не доставляет ему особых переживаний. Он настойчиво предлагает своей супруге Козиме влюбить в себя старика-Вагнера, который только-только добился признания. Попутно с этим мы слышим рассуждения о том, может ли быть художник благополучен. А если да – нужно ли ему благополучие? Впрочем, за этими рассуждениями мы быстро понимаем, что Козима и Вагнер уже давно любовники.

Doctor Faustus and Other Plays (сборник) Christopher Marlowe
ISBN: 9780199537068 Год издания: 2008 Издательство: Oxford University Press Язык: Английский Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593), a man of extreme passions and a playwright of immense talent, is the most important of Shakespeare's contempories. This edition offers his five major plays, which show the radicalism and vitality of his writing in the few years before his violent death. Tamburlaine Part One and Part Two deal with the rise to world prominence of the great Scythian shepherd-robber; The Jew of Malta is a drama of villainy and revenge; Edward II was to influence Shakespeare's Richard II. Doctor Faustus, perhaps the first drama taken from the medieval legend of a man who sells his soul to the devil, is here in both its A- and…

ISBN: 9780199555185, 0199555184 Год издания: 2008 Издательство: Oxford University Press Язык: Английский Wycherley's four comedies are admired for their satirical wit, farcical humour, vivid characterization, and social criticism.Love in a Wood, a lively comedy of intrigue, established him as a brilliant new dramatist.The Gentleman Dancing-Master, in contrast, disappointed contemporary audiences, but the central relationship between Hippolyta and Gerrard features an original and sympathetic study of a young woman's attitudes and feelings. The Country Wife is a sharp but also highly amusing attack on social and sexual hypocrisy. The Plain Dealer, a powerful dramatic satire loosely based on Moliere's Le Misanthrope, continues and enlarges…

The Alchemist and Other Plays Ben Jonson
ISBN: 9780199537310 Год издания: 2008 Издательство: Oxford University Press Язык: Английский This edition brings together Jonson's four great comedies in one volume. Volpone, which was first performed in 1606, dramatizes the corrupting nature of greed in an exuberant satire set in contemporary Venice. The first production of Epicene marked the end of a year long closure of the theatres because of an epidemic of the plague in 1609; its comedy affirms the consolatory power of laughter at such a time. The Alchemist (1610) deploys the metaphors of alchemical transformation to emphasize the mutability of the characters and their relationships. In Bartholomew Fair (1614) Jonson embroils the visitors to the fair in its myriad tempations,…

Four Major Plays Federico García Lorca
ISBN: 9780199537518 Год издания: 2008 Издательство: Oxford University Press Язык: Английский In his four last plays Federico García Lorca offered his disturbed and disturbing personal vision to Spanish audiences of the 1930s - unready, as he thought them, for the sexual frankness and surreal expression of his more experimental work. The ill-fated lovers of Blood Wedding, the desolate Yerma, the fading spinster Rosita, and Bernarda Alba's abused household of women all inhabit a familiar Andalusia. Their predicaments are starkly plotted, with a stagecraft rooted in classical theatrical tradition. In such figures Lorca addresses the cultural and political ferment of his time with a fiercely libertarian assault on 'old and wrong…

ISBN: 9780199538928 Год издания: 2009 Издательство: Oxford University Press Язык: Английский This volume contains the four plays by Thomas Middleton which have most impressed the modern world: "A Chaste Maid in Cheapside" is the most complex amd effective of the city comedies; "Women Beware Women" and "The Changeling" (with William Rowley) are two of the most powerful Jacobean tragedies outside of Shakespeare — studies in lust, power, violence, and self-delusive psychology; "A Game at Chess" was the single most popular play of the whole Shakespearean era, a satirical exposé of Jesuit plotting and Anglo-Spanish politics which played tp pacifist houses at the Globe until King James and his ministers banned it.

Complete Works, Vol. 2 (сборник) Harold Pinter
ISBN: 0802132375, 9780802132376 Год издания: 1994 Издательство: Grove Atlantic Язык: Английский Along with Samuel Beckett and Eugene Ionesco, Harold Pinter holds an undisputed place in the front ranks of contemporary dramatists.

The Caretaker, which first brought him fame on both sides of the Atlantic, was called "a play of strangely compelling beauty and passion" by Howard Taubman of The New York Times. An essay by Pinter, Writing for Myself, introduces this collection.
