Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William D Howarth sets Le Mariage de Figaro and Beaumarchais's other dramatic works in the broad historical context of pre-revolutionary France, providing a unique and authoritative study of the dramatist and his plays. He presents detailed analyses of the plays themselves, discussing their critical receptions, their influence on drama of the period and their legacy. Included is a discussion of the operatic adaptations: Mozart's Mariage de Figaro and Rossini's Le Barbier de Seville.

It is invaluable reading for students of theatre history.

This book was released on 2011-12-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beaumarchais's notorious comedy was the most scandalous play of the 18th century-and its most incredible theatrical success. In this new translation-adaptation by Fr�d�rique Michel and Charles Duncombe, Beaumarchais's clever servants outwit, manipulate, and ultimately humiliate their corrupt master, the Count Almaviva, exposing him for the fraud he is. So subversive was the play considered in its depiction of the ruling classes that during World War II, Vichy France would not allow it to be performed. Michel and Duncombe bring it to new and vigorous life: a witty, sexy, outrageous, and delightful attack on privilege and hypocrisy."A shrewd use of artifice as content distinguishes The Marriage of Figaro at City Garage, Freder�que Michel and Charles Duncombe's new translation-adaptation of Pierre Beaumarchais' 1784 assault on the aristocracy, the source, of Mozart's deathless opera, hits its marks from the opening prologue and continues thus thereafter...Michel and Duncombe knowingly use the lunatic convolutions of farce to strike more profound cultural targets....adroitly articulate."--"Critic's Choice," Los Angeles Times"The style is the substance. The idiocy of so abusing the limited energy we're given in one lifetime is a statement on the way we feel so obliged, if not honored, to be tethered to puppet strings...[this] new translation transfers the subtleties of French idiom very smoothly into English."--"Go," LA Weekly

Download or read book Fragments of an Infinite Memory written by Maël Renouard and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deeply informed, yet playful and ironic look at how the internet has changed human experience, memory, and our sense of self, and that belongs on the shelf with the best writings of Roland Barthes and Jean Baudrillard. “One day, as I was daydreaming on the boulevard Beaumarchais, I had the idea—it came and went in a flash, almost in spite of myself—of Googling to find out what I’d been up to and where I’d been two evenings before, at five o’clock, since I couldn’t remember on my own.” So begins Maël Renouard’s Fragments of an Infinite Memory, a provocative and elegant inquiry into life in a wireless world. Renouard is old enough to remember life before the internet but young enough to have fully accommodated his life to the internet and the gadgets that support it. Here this young philosopher, novelist, and translator tries out a series of conjectures on how human experience, especially the sense of self, is being changed by our continual engagement with a memory that is impersonal and effectively boundless. Renouard has written a book that is rigorously impressionistic, deeply informed historically and culturally, but is also playful, ironic, personal, and formally adventurous, a book that withstands comparison to the best of Roland Barthes and Jean Baudrillard.
