Book La Guerre de Troie n aura pas lieu

Download or read book La Guerre de Troie n aura pas lieu written by Jean Giraudoux and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-02-18 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La guerre de Troie n'aura pas lieu est une pièce de théâtre de Jean Giraudoux, jouée la première fois le 22 novembre 1935 au Théâtre de l'Athénée1 sous la direction et avec Louis Jouvet. Cette œuvre cherche à déchiffrer les motivations fratricides de la future Seconde Guerre mondiale, comme un avertissement. L'auteur y met en relief le cynisme des politiciens ainsi que leur manipulation des symboles et de la notion de droit. La pièce met en lumière le pacifisme de Giraudoux qui avait combattu en France et à la bataille des Dardanelles mais aussi sa lucidité devant « deux bêtises, celle des hommes et celle des éléments » Après (1919), où il récrivait à sa façon l', Giraudoux tire cette fois son sujet de l', poème épique d'Homère qui chante les combats héroïques du siège de Troie. Le prétexte de la guerre légendaire est l'enlèvement d'Hélène, l'épouse du roi grec Ménélas, par le prince troyen Pâris, fils du roi Priam. Ulysse, envoyé en ambassade, ne peut obtenir réparation de l'outrage et les Grecs coalisés s'embarquent pour Troie qu'ils prendront et incendieront après dix ans de siège.

Book La guerre de Troie n aura pas lieu

Download or read book La guerre de Troie n aura pas lieu written by Jean Giraudoux and published by Grasset. This book was released on 2010-11-10 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette tragédie réanime d'illsutres personnages de l'Iliade d'Homère et le thème en est connu : Hélène vient de se faire compliasamment enlever par Pâris, le prince troyen ; les Grecs attaqueront si elle ne leur est pas rendue. A Troie, ce fait-divers vaudevillesque déclenche les passions entre partisans de la paix (Hector, Andromaque) et bellicistes (le roi Priam et le poète Demokos). Dans le camp des Grecs qui crient vengeance, l'ambassadeur Ulysse semble bien seul... Sur un casting mythologique, cette pièce de 1935 est très contemporaine, inspirée à Jean Giraudoux par la montée des périls en Europe. L'auteur s'engage pour la paix. Cette œuvre n'est pourtant pas un manifeste. On y retrouve la langue de Giraudoux, son drapé, son esprit, sa causticité. Que valent tous ces talents face au destin ? En tenant "seulement compte de deux bêtises, celle des hommes et celles des éléments", Cassandre l'avait prédit : la guerre aura bien lieu. A Troie, et dans le monde.

Download or read book The Guernica Bull written by Harry C. Rutledge and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2008-06-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Guernica Bull, Harry C. Rutledge examines the use of classical motifs in twentieth-century literature, art, and drama. From the echoes of Plato's dialogues at the heart of Thomas Mann's Death in Venice to the retelling of the story of Harmodius and Aristogiton--a story with grim parallels to Nazi Germany--in Marguerite Yourcenar's Léna, these modern works are a testament to both the creativity of modern artists and the versatility and timelessness of classical themes. Rutledge finds the ideal meshing of classical images and modern sensibility in Pablo Picasso's Guernica. The most startling classical image in the painting is the bull, a Cubist face staring out from the canvas at the viewer, unmoved by the scene of death and destruction around him. A symbol of the intense violence and disorder which has characterized this century, Picasso's Minoan bull is, at the same time, a symbol of creative potency and artistic achievement. The classical tradition in our era is, Rutledge suggests, multi-faceted, much like the Cubist paintings which view human beings as if through a prism, in all their infinite variety and beauty. The legacy of the Greeks and Romans is both stimulus and resource for modern artists, as evidenced by the meticulous historical reconstruction in Yourcenar's Mémoires d'Hadrien, the recreation of an ancient setting in modern terms in Jean Cocteau's The Infernal Machine and T. S. Eliot's The Family Reunion, and the influence of classical monuments and landscapes in the poetry of Frederick Nicklaus, James Dickey, and Richard Wilbur. Modern artists have often found an affinity between themselves and the ancients. In the Greek and Roman works that, through their clarity and brevity, have transcended time and place, contemporary writers and painters perceive the essence of the infinite, which is the challenge in any artistic endeavor. Showing how some modernists have met this challenge, The Guernica Bull explores the ancient antecedents of several of the most distinctive twentieth-century masterpieces.

Book Poetry on   Off the Page

Download or read book Poetry on Off the Page written by Marjorie Perloff and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fourteen essays that make up this collection have as their common theme a reconsideration of the role historical and cultural change has played in the evolution of twentieth-century poetry and poetics. Committed to the notion that, in John Ashbery's words, "You can't say it that way anymore," Poetry On & Off the Page describes the formations and transformations of literary and artistic discourses, and traces these discourses as they have evolved in their dialogue with history, culture, and society. The volume is testimony to the important role that contemporary artistic practice will continue to play as we move into the twenty-first century.
