      Bílá ďáblice

      • 180 stránek
      • 7 hodin čtení

      Drama významného alžbětinského dramatika z roku 1612 je inspirováno skutečným osudem florentské kurtizány Vittorie Accoramboni na dvoře Medicejů, která byla zavražděna v pouhých osmadvaceti letech. Příběh kruté msty a nelítostné nenávisti plný šokujících zvratů je zároveň nebojácnou kritikou mravů a korupce na tehdejším anglickém královském dvoře. Vychází v překladu Františka Fröhlicha jako 180. svazek edice D.

      This fully re-edited, modernised play text is accompanied by insightful commentary notes, while its lively introduction provides an essential contextual grounding in the court scandals, anti-Catholic sentiment and Senecan drama that formed a backdrop to Webster's tragedy. Exploring the challenges of staging this highly melodramatic play, Lara Bovilsky guides you through the most interesting points of its rich performance history, and analyses the onslaught of recent productions with race-conscious and regendered casts. Analysing its masterful poetry, she shows how the work can be harnessed to engage in contemporary social debates about privacy, torture, surveillance, and personal freedom, and empowers you to do likewise. Supplemented by a plot summary, annotated bibliography and a companion website providing thought-provoking podcasts, production images, useful web links and sample questions and essay ideas, this edition is the most enlightening and engaging you will find.

      This 2003 book is a loud reaffirmation of the triune God at the heart of a scripture-based Christianity, but it is written with intellectual rigour by a theologian who understands the currents of modern secular thought, and is able to work from them towards a constructive position on biblical authority. schovat popis

      Boj o moc a pokřivená morálka, která se ve „vyšším“ zájmu neštítí žádných intrik a nevyhýbá se ani krvavým koncům – to jsou vzrušující témata, která mistrně zpracoval ve své působivé a dramaticky silné tragedii jeden z velkých současníků W. Shakespeara.
