Five Comic One-Act Plays
Автор: Anton Pavlovich Chekhov Жанр: Dover Publications Год: 2000 Страниц: 64 Дата загрузки: 10 декабря 20092002-10-27
|
|
«One of the foremost dramatists of the 19th century, Russian author Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) created a body of work noted for its realistic dialogue and keen insights into human relationships. This collection of five one-act plays in the celebrated Constance Garnett translations shows Chekhov at his witty best. «The Anniversary» takes a lively look behind the frenetic scenes at a bank: a man overburdened with errands from friends and family gives a nearly maddened but ludicrous account of his chores and obligations in An Unwilling Martyr; and «The Wedding» depicts scenes from a wedding reception in which the mother of the bride assumes affected airs and deals with quarrelsome guests. In The Bear, a virtuous, spirited widow is pressed to repay a debt and ends up receiving an offer of marriage. «The Proposal» depicts the trauma of a would-be suitor who winds up in a wrangle over property. Theater lovers, students of drama and literature, and other readers, as well as amateur and professional groups performing these popular works, will welcome this convenient, inexpensive collection of comic gems by one of the masters of modern drama.»

Modest Proposal and Other Satirical Works
Автор: Swift Jonathan Жанр: Dover Publications Год: 2012 Страниц: 60 Дата загрузки: 17 апреля 20162013-06-21
|
|
«The originality, concentrated power and «fierce indignation» of his satirical writing have earned Jonathan Swift a reputation as the greatest prose satirist in English literature. «Gulliver's Travels» is, of course, his world-renowned masterpiece in the genre; however, Swift wrote other, shorter works that also offer excellent evidence of his inspired lampoonery. Perhaps the most famous of these is «A Modest Proposal», in which he straight-facedly suggests that Ireland could solve its hunger problems by using its children for food. Also included in this collection are «The Battle of the Books», «A Meditation upon a Broomstick», «A Discourse Concerning the Mechanical Operation of the Spirit» and «Аn Argument Against Abolishing Christianity in England». This inexpensive edition will certainly be welcomed by teachers and students of English literature, but its appeal extends to any reader who delights in watching a master satirist wield words as weapons.»
