Title : Complete Theater - Volume 2 - Aristophanes - book Summary : Through laughter, Aristophanes brings the joy of carnivalesque utopias into the confines of theaters. In The Birds, men weary of earthly bickering join the city of birds to found a new kingdom and compete with the gods for the aroma of sacrifices. On the other hand, it is the world of men that the women of Lysistrata contest: seeing no end to the war, they begin a sex strike, asserting the rights of love and pleasure against the devastation of weapons. The women's chorus of Thesmophoria will extend this hedonistic plea by ridiculing Euripides' misogyny. And that of The Assembly of Women will impose the reign of femininity, by realizing the community of goods that men have contented themselves with dreaming of. As an actor, Aristophanes takes the side of the overthrown orders and enthusiastically joins the joyful procession of rebellious women. Two-volume edition.

Title : Theater volume 2 - Jean Racine - book Summary : The Romantics were offended by this theater without images. To prefer the narrative to the stage exhibition of great murders and great miracles, they believed that this was to flee from difficulty: on the contrary, it was to seek it out, since it was to refuse the help of the physical and the sensitive, of the director and the stagehand, of the lights, the colors, the agitation, of the actor and the spectator himself. The author assumes the entire burden of the drama." Thierry Maulnier, Racine. EAN: 9782080700377 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Golden Head - Paul Claudel - book Summary : Tête d'Or is a drama written at the age of twenty, in the violence and passion of a youth eager for independence and power, eager to assert itself, conscious of its strength and devoured by desires, revolted against social burdens and the mediocrity of existence. It is the spiritual combat of a heart overwhelmed by sadness and boredom, but thirsty for truth and life, torn between its rationalist convictions and the revelation of the supernatural. It is the search for and the claim of a happiness always threatened by failure and death. Under the fiction of a heroic drama, with flamboyant poetry, saturated with classical memories and biblical references, it is a myth illustrating the eternal and invincible aspiration of man for a joy refused in this world and expected from divine Grace.

Title : Thérèse Raquin - Emile Zola - book Summary I wanted to study temperaments and not characters. I chose characters supremely dominated by their nerves and their blood, devoid of free will, driven to every act of their life by the fatalities of their flesh: Thérèse and Laurent are human brutes, nothing more. [...] In a word, I had only one desire: given a powerful man and an unfulfilled woman, to seek the beast in them, to see only the beast, to throw them into a violent drama, and to scrupulously note the sensations and actions of these beings. I simply did on two living bodies the analytical work that surgeons do on cadavers. Zola, Preface to the 2nd edition of Thérèse Raquin. What dazzles us today in Thérèse Raquin is Zola the poet and visionary, director of reality and painter of the souls of the night. [...] What force in the description of these beings walled up within themselves, defeated by obscure powers they cannot name, already ransomed by the death that awaits them! And what brilliant dramatic invention throughout this descent into hell, breathless, convulsive, wild!
