Book Synopsis Salomé (Esprios Classics) by : Oscar Wilde
Download or read book Salomé (Esprios Classics) written by Oscar Wilde and published by Blurb. This book was released on 2022-06-05 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salome is a one-act tragedy by Oscar Wilde. The original 1891 version of the play was in French; an English translation was published three years later. The play depicts the attempted seduction of Jokanaan (John the Baptist) by Salome, step-daughter of Herod Antipas; her dance of the seven veils; the execution of Jokanaan at Salome's instigation; and her death on Herod's orders. The first production was in Paris in 1896. Because the play depicted biblical characters it was banned in Britain and was not performed publicly there until 1931. The play became popular in Germany, and Wilde's text was taken by the composer Richard Strauss as the basis of his 1905 opera Salome, the international success of which has tended to overshadow Wilde's original play. Film and other adaptations have been made of the play.

Book excerpt: When the prophet Jokanaan is brought to the attention of the princess Salomé, he rebukes her interest, which causes her to make a brutal declaration.Oscar Wilde’s one-act tragedy explores the repercussions of her horrifying decision. Originally composed in French in 1892, Salomé is a controversial tale full of cruelty and retribution. Wilde expands on the Biblical story of John the Baptist, whom was captured and beheaded by Herod Antipas. It explores the interaction between the characters showing Salomé’s spiteful nature and Herod’s growing concern. It’s a bold adaptation of a somber tale that leaves a mark on all who read it. Salomé’s one-act story structure immediately dives into the strange dynamic amongst Herod and his family. Once Salomé’s bloodlust is apparent Herod’s forced to reconcile both of their futures. It’s a haunting drama that’s amplified by its Biblical setting and notable characters. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Salomé is both modern and readable.

Book Synopsis Salome of the Tenements by : Anzia Yezierska
Download or read book Salome of the Tenements written by Anzia Yezierska and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salome of the Tenements shocked many critics and writers when first published in 1923, but its author was immediately hailed as a major new talent. A love story of a working-class Salome and her "highborn" John the Baptist, the novel is based on the real-life story of Jewish immigrant Rose Pastor's fairytale romance with the millionaire socialist Graham Stokes. It also reflects Yezierska's own aborted romance with the famous educator John Dewey. Yezierska's passionate but cynical novel poses oppositions such as cultural type/stereotype, passion/reason, and ethnic identity/assimilation, and it resonates powerfully to the contemporary reader.

Download or read book Salome written by Oscar Wilde and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-06-20 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "SALOMÉ" has made the author's name a household word wherever the English language is not spoken. Few English plays have such a peculiar history. Written in French in 1892 it was in full rehearsal by Madame Bernhardt at the Palace Theatre when it was prohibited by the Censor. Oscar Wilde immediately announced his intention of changing his nationality, a characteristic jest, which was only taken seriously, oddly enough, in Ireland. The interference of the Censor has seldom been more popular or more heartily endorsed by English critics. On its publication in book form "Salomé" was greeted by a chorus of ridicule, and it may be noted in passing that at least two of the more violent reviews were from the pens of unsuccessful dramatists, while all those whose French never went beyond Ollendorff were glad to find in that venerable school classic an unsuspected asset in their education—a handy missile with which to pelt "Salomé" and its author. The correctness of the French was, of course, impugned, although the scrip had been passed by a distinguished French writer, to whom I have heard the whole work attributed. The Times, while depreciating the drama, gave its author credit for a tour de force, in being capable of writing a French play for Madame Bernhardt, and this drew from him the following letter:—

Download or read book The Truth About Lou written by Angela Von Der Lippe and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2008-12-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the shadows of the correspondences and the contradictions of biography, the elusive Salomé emerges in this boldly revealing fiction to tell her own story through the three major relationships of her life: at twenty–one she meets the smitten philosopher Nietzsche; at thirty–six she takes the fledgling poet Rilke as her first lover; and at fifty she wins the deep affection of Freud. Who was she really, Lou Salomé? Willful, conniving girl, controlling femme fatale, or nurturing literary muse? Drawing on neglected historical sources and deftly weaving in the presentday character Anna Kane in pursuit of Lou, von der Lippe layers what is known about Salomé with what can only be imagined. This is a story of love's epiphanies and pain, a lost child, and the redemptive power of words.
Download or read book Salome written by Oscar Wilde and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salome is a tragedy of Oscar Wilde whose original version of 1891 is in French. A translation into English followed three years later. The play, in one act, rests on the biblical episode of Salome, 1 the daughter-in-law of the tetrarch of Galilee Herod Antipas, who, to the dismay of his father-in-law, but to the delight of his mother Herodias, Brings him the head of Iokanaan (John the Baptist) on a silver platter as a reward for performing the seven-veil dance.Versions and firsts Wilde wrote this play to Paris, where he had retired after completing Lady Windermere's Fan. He dedicated it to Pierre Lou�s, who made some corrections to the text but intervened very little. Seduced by the title role, Sarah Bernhardt decided to interpret it herself, and the rehearsals began at the Palace Theater in London. These rehearsals, however, had to be interrupted when the Lord Chamberlain's censorship had banned Salom� on the grounds that it was illegal to represent biblical figures on stage. Indignant, Wilde envisioned renouncing his British nationality and becoming French so as not to have to undergo such restrictions.

She is the highest-paid actress in town, with a luxurious estate, the respect of her peers, adoration of her fans, and a series of lovers that has included the first wife of her protégé, Rudolph Valentino. But reaching the top is one thing. Staying there is an entirely different matter. Nazimova dreams of producing a motion picture of Oscar Wilde's infamous "Salomé." It will be a new form of moviemaking: the world's first art film. But the same executives at Metro Pictures who hailed Nazimova as a genius when she was churning out hit after hit now turn their backs because her last few movies have flopped. Taking matters into her own hands, Nazimova decides to shoot "Salomé" herself. But it means risking everything she has: her reputation, her fortune, her beautiful home, and even her lavender marriage. But will it be enough to turn her fortunes around? Or will Hollywood cut her out of the picture? From the author of the Hollywood's Garden of Allah novels and based on a true story, "Chasing Salomé" takes us inside Nazimova's struggle to achieve a new level of stardom by raising the flickers to an art form.

Download or read book A Woman of No Importance (Esprios Classics) written by Oscar Wilde and published by . This book was released on 2022-06-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Woman of No Importance by Oscar Wilde is "a new and original play of modern life", in four acts, first given on 19 April 1893 at the Haymarket Theatre, London. Like Wilde's other society plays, it satirises English upper-class society. It has been revived from time to time since his death in 1900, but has been widely regarded as the least successful of his four drawing room plays. Wilde's first West End drawing room play, Lady Windermere's Fan, ran at the St James's Theatre for 197 performances in 1892. He briefly moved away from the genre to write his biblical tragedy Salome, after which he accepted a request from the actor-manager Herbert Beerbohm Tree for a new play for Tree's company at the Haymarket Theatre.
Book Synopsis The Picture of Dorian Gray (Esprios Classics) by : Oscar Wilde
Download or read book The Picture of Dorian Gray (Esprios Classics) written by Oscar Wilde and published by Blurb. This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Picture of Dorian Gray is a Gothic and philosophical novel by Oscar Wilde, first published complete in the July 1890 issue of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine. Fearing the story was indecent, prior to publication the magazine's editor deleted roughly five hundred words without Wilde's knowledge. Despite that censorship, The Picture of Dorian Gray offended the moral sensibilities of British book reviewers, some of whom said that Oscar Wilde merited prosecution for violating the laws guarding public morality. In response, Wilde aggressively defended his novel and art in correspondence with the British press, although he personally made excisions of some of the most controversial material when revising and lengthening the story for book publication the following year.
