Download or read book History of the English Puppet Theatre Classic Reprint written by George Speaight and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the English Puppet Theatre In this book I have provided notes for two purposes. Firstly, to give the original authority of every reference to puppet history; and, secondly, to amplify my text with interesting information of secondary importance. These notes are placed at the back of the book. It is not necessary - nor advisable - to refer to them, one by one, while reading the text, and the general reader may well read the book without looking at the notes at all. I would suggest, however, that the inquiring reader may care to glance through the relevant notes after each section of a chapter has been read. In this way his memory may be refreshed, his curiosity satisfied, and his knowledge enlarged. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Home of the Puppet Play written by Richard Pischel and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Home of the Puppet-Play: An Address An Address delivered by Richard Pischel on assuming the office of Rector of the Konigliche Vereinigte Friedrichs-Universitat Halle-Wittenberg, on the 12th July, 1900. Most Honourable Assembly! Among the ineffaceable impressions which we retain from earliest childhood to ripest old age, we must include the recollection of the time when we first heard from our mother's lips the immortal fairy tales of Snow-white and the Seven Dwarfs, Dame Holle and Goldilocks, and Little Red Riding Hood and the wicked wolf. Our delight in all these beings became still greater when we saw them afterwards in flesh and blood before us on the stage. Nowadays the Christmas fairy tales are produced for children with lavish splendour, and owing to the gorgeous externals the simple story is often not duly appreciated. But those of us who were children in the fifties and sixties or earlier in the nineteenth century, had to be content with plainer fare. In those days the stage consisted of a platform erected in a room only partially lighted by oil-lamps, and furnished with wooden benches, the actors being puppets.

Download or read book Pinocchio written by Carlo Collodi and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the introduction of the 1916 edition of Pinocchio the Story of a Puppet, Louise R. Bull said that this is "the best puppet-story to be found anywhere." At that, you could almost hear the world respond "Yes!" in agreement. We can thank Carlo Lorenzini, better known by his pen name "C. Collodi," for giving us a beautiful story about a wooden puppet and his misadventures, as well as his touching relationship with his creator. This mischievous character has become so famous and iconic in contemporary culture that it has spawned new expressions and allusions, such as the Pinocchio or liar paradox. With the popularity of this book, it does not need much introduction although the well-known Walt Disney version is not faithful to the original. This edition was one of the early publications that featured images in more than 2 or 3 colors, but unfortunately they have not survived the years and reproduction process very well. They are still presented alongside the text in black and white, however. Pinocchio the Story of a Puppet is one literary work that is worth re-reading and remains relevant today, despite the fact that it was first published in 1883. It is written in a style that combines fairy tale, folksy appeal, and street theater, infusing a surreal and powerful quality to the story - one that many can empathize with.
