Download or read book John Guare written by Jane K. Curry and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-07-30 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best known for his plays Six Degrees of Separation and The House of Blue Leaves, John Guare is a major figure in the contemporary American theater. Other notable works by Guare include Bosoms and Neglect, Landscape of the Body, and the Lydie Breeze series. His career began with off-off-Broadway experimentation in the sixties and continues through the present. In that time Guare has created many imaginative, eccentric plays that reflect the chaos, violence, and loneliness of life in our time. He frequently combines outrageous farce with painfully serious subject matter. This sourcebook is both a convenient reference and a resource for further investigation of Guare's works. The volume chronicles his achievements with a chronology and biographical essay. It also includes summaries of his published and unpublished plays, overviews of the critical reception of each work, production credits, a primary bibliography of dramatic and nondramatic writings, and extensive annotated bibliographies of reviews and other secondary material.

Book excerpt: Toulon, France: 1754 Senegal, West Africa: 1755 St. Augustine, Florida: 1756 - 1810 Book 3 - Children of the Alliance, 1754 – 1810 is the prequel to the series. The story-within-a-story encapsulates the legendary saga and recounts the life of Juliette and Claude’s ancestor’s, knight-errant and Captain, Françoise J. Reiss III, and Prince Boukar Semou Jolof, a.k.a. Luis Freedman, a former Senegalese prince and freed slave. It’s the Age of Enlightenment on the European, African and North Atlantic continents. It's an era when a racial divide makes most men enemies, but Françoise and Luis sacrifice everything to keep their mixed-race families together. Children of the Alliance will hold you captive to a tumultuous world where trading slaves is second nature and exposes the circumstances surrounding how Juliette’s dowry was acquired by her 4th great-grandfather. *Readers are given a glimpse of their ancestors’ journeys with excerpts in Book 1, Mistaken Legacy, and in Book 2, Heiress and Epithet, as Juliette and Claude discover how the captain acquired Juliette’s heirloom dowry: The decoratively carved ebony chest of rare gemstones.
Book Synopsis John Guare’s Theatre by : Robert J. Andreach
Download or read book John Guare’s Theatre written by Robert J. Andreach and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-14 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 1960s to the present day, John Guare’s plays have ranged from one-act to cyclic, realistic to surrealistic, naturalistic to experimental, and tragic to comic dramas. This study’s approach to the cornucopia the playwright himself provided when in an interview he gave a fundamental aesthetic principle of his craft. Like a person—and Guare’s plays develop the personal as well as the artistic self—a play must be grounded in reality; only then can it soar. The ground is traditional theatre with characters, no matter how larger than life they can be, and plot, no matter how illogical it can be. The soaring is in interrupting the action with monological narratives and musical interludes, bringing characters back from the dead, and having the action take hairpin turns into a mixture of genres and styles, modes and tones. In verbal and visual images, the flight invokes works by authors as varied as Aeschylus and Whitman, Dante and Feydeau, Verdi and Romberg. Soaring from ground to new ground, the theatre creates the transmission of the American heritage in Lake Hollywood, an idealism corrupted by a fraudulent American Dream in Lydie Breeze, and the recovery of the past in A Few Stout Individuals. As Guare said about his plays: they “interconnect.”

Book Synopsis The Ancient Egyptian Religion by : Ryan Moorhen
Download or read book The Ancient Egyptian Religion written by Ryan Moorhen and published by DTTV PUBLICATIONS. This book was released on with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before dealing with the special varieties of the Egyptians' belief in gods, it is best to try to avoid a misunderstanding of their whole conception of the supernatural. The term god has come to tacitly imply to our minds such a highly specialized group of attributes, that we can hardly throw our ideas back into the more remote conceptions to which we also attach the same name. It is unfortunate that every other word for supernatural intelligence has become debased so that we cannot well speak of demons, devils, ghosts, or fairies without implying a noxious or a trifling meaning, quite unsuited to the ancient deities that were so beneficent and powerful. If then we use the word god for such conceptions, it must always be with the reservation that the word has now a vastly different meaning from what it had to ancient minds.
