Lorenzo. God be with you. He gives him a coin. Gabriel protests as he takes it. Gabriel. No, no... I couldn't think of it... I really couldn't. There's nothing that we want here... thank you, thank you! He glances furtively at the coin, and is overwhelmed. Two pesetas... oh, a thousand thanks! Sister Gracia. Run along now... run along. gabriel disappears, contemplating the coin and murmuring ecstatically "Two pesetas!" Maria Isabel remains seated on the bench, musing over what she has just heard. Lulu gets up and goes to peep through the foliage into the arbour. Sister Gracia still holds her father's hand. Sister Gracia. How silent you are, Father. Talk to me a little. Lorenzo. What about? Sister Gracia. About yourself. What are you busy at now? Lorenzo. The usual things. I'm rather pressed with... lots of things to think about... and getting to feel rather old. Sister Gracia. Old... you! Since when, pray? Lorenzo. Ever since a certain little witch gave up coming into my study and untidying my papers for me. His voice turns a little husky, but he keeps it firm. There's a vacant place there, young lady. Sister Gracia. Ah... don't say that to me... don't say that. Lorenzo. Smiling again. There, there, never mind! When I'm quite decrepit I'll petition the authorities to admit me here... and then you will look after me, won't you? She doesn't answer; just kisses his hand. There are tears in his eyes. Lorenzo. As long as you're content... that's all that matters. Sister Gracia. I am, Father... indeed I am. Lorenzo. Truly? She lifts her face like a child, so that he may see she is not lying, and he looks her in the eyes. Sister Gracia. Yes, look at me... truly, truly. And more than content today......

Book excerpt: A valuable survey and reference resource It is hard to imagine a more needed and more useful literary reference work than this one, which gives students and readers quick access to the lives and work of a wide range of notable female writers from England and the Continent, from Aphra Behn to Emily Bronte, from Simone de Beauvoir to Isak Dinesen, from Bridget of Sweden to Hannah Arendt. Writers in more than 30 languages are included: French, Czech, Greek, Italian, Swedish, Spanish, German, Russian, Portuguese, Serbian, Catalan, Arabic, Hebrew, Dutch, Bulgarian, Croatian, Slovak, and more. Covers 1,500 years and all major genres Going back 15 centuries, the Encyclopedia covers the authors of novels, short stories, poetry, plays, criticism, social commentary, feminist manifestos, romances, mysteries, memoirs, children's literature, biography, and other genres. In signed entries, some of which are mini-essays, experts in the field examine writers' lives and achievements, comment on individual works, place artistic efforts in historical context, provide insights and analyses, and present more information than can be easily found elsewhere without undertaking more exhaustive research. Each entry is followed by a bibliography of primary works. Indexed by language, nationality, genre, and century.

Download or read book Pinocchio s Progeny written by Harold B. Segel and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Carlo Collodi's internationally revered Pinocchio may not have been the single source of the modernist fascination with puppets and marionettes, the book's appearance on the threshold of the modernist movement heralded a new artistic interest in the making of human likenesses. And the puppets, marionettes, and other forms that figure so vividly and provocatively in modernist and avant-garde drama can, according to Harold Segel, be regarded as Pinocchio's progeny. Segel argues that the philosophical, social, and artistic proclivities of the modernist movement converged in the discovery of an exciting new relevance in the puppet and marionette. Previously viewed as entertainment for children and fairground audiences, puppets emerged as an integral component of the modernist vision. They became metaphors for human helplessness in the face of powerful forces -- from Eros and the supernatural to history, industrial society, and national myth. Dramatists used them to satirize the tyranny of bourgeois custom and convention, to deflate the arrogance of the powerful, and to breathe new life into a theater that had become tradition-bound and commercialized. Pinocchio's Progeny offers a broad overview of the uses of these figures in European drama from 1890 to 1935. It considers developments in France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Germany, Sweden, Russia, Poland and Czechoslovakia. In his introduction, Segel reviews the premodernist literary and dramatic treatment of the puppet and marionette from Cervantes' Don Quixote to the turn-of-the- century European cabaret. His epilogue considers the appearance of puppets and marionettes in postmodern European and American drama by examining worksby such dramatists as Jean-Claude Van Itallie, Heiner MA1/4ller, and Tadeusz Kantor.
