Book Synopsis Plays by Paco Bezerra: Cutting-Edge Spanish Theatre by : Paco Bezerra
Download or read book Plays by Paco Bezerra: Cutting-Edge Spanish Theatre written by Paco Bezerra and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-09-07 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This vital anthology includes fresh translations of four of Paco Bezerra's plays in one edited collection for the first time in English. Winner of the National Literary Drama Award in 2009 and the Calderon de la Barca Theatre Drama Prize for New Authors in 2007, Paco Bezerra has become one of the most lauded and essential voices in the Spanish theatrical scene. His works have received both critical and audience acclaim, and his plays have been performed throughout Europe, South America and Asia. In the four plays included in this volume, Bezerra addresses critical issues such as child abuse, racism and women's rights. And, in a manner common to all of his works, Bezerra continually explores how marginalization weaves into all aspects of human existence. Together with an edited introduction to Bezerra's work and world, this collection offers a rare insight into contemporary Spanish theatre for performance and study.

Mick Hannigan, their nephew and the director of security for a mining company as well as a veteran and an occasional poor man's Bob Hope agrees to travels to the tiny South American country of Talcayan to investigate the murders.

Besides, where else is he likely to find a woman who will come to the rescue of her friends with a Leopard I tank and a ragtag army?

Book Synopsis American in Translation by : Concha Alborg
Download or read book American in Translation written by Concha Alborg and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-04-08 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American in Translation: A Novel in Three Novellas is a womans journey from the Vietnam era to the present. Each novella represents a pivotal time in the life of Inmaculada, a young Spanish woman who has recently immigrated to the United States. American in Translation is Concha Alborgs first novel written in English. In preparation for this book, the author taped conversations with her father, who fought on the liberal side during the Spanish Civil War; collected magazine and newspaper articles from the Vietnam era; and gathered many personal letters, journals, and travel notes of the thirteen months when her own husband, a Marine Corps captain, was in Vietnam. American in Translation is written with the authors characteristic irony and self-deprecating humor that contrast with the seriousness of its themes. Marine Corps Wife is told from Inmas point of view during the year when her husband is fighting in Vietnam while she is in a small Midwestern college town with their newborn daughter. The tension between Inmas own pacifism, the ensuing war protests at home, and her family responsibilities become a balancing act for the young wife. Much has been written about the Vietnam conflict from the point of view of the soldiers, but little from the female perspective of the wife who, like Inma, is left behind, trying to keep her family together. War figures as a motif in this novella because the grandfathers also fought in WWII and the Spanish Civil War respectively. Spanish Daughter, told in a different voice, begins with the death of Inmas mother, which reveals tensions and betrayals within her own family. Inmas inner struggle is accentuated when she discovers her fathers affair with a favorite aunt, and she reads his letters, included in this novella. In contrast with the more liberated 1970s of American culture, Spain was suffering from growing pains after decades of a repressive government. Ironically, the personal and the political become one since Franco is dying at the same time, and in the same hospital, as Inmas mother. Inmas true liberation comes in the third novella, American Woman, told through her journals while traveling in Europe and the States and in direct conversations with her therapist, who is helping Inma find the strength to divorce her husband. Finally, Inma emerges as a fully realized woman: at the personal level through a sexual and emotional awakening and at the professional level through her work and her writing. The Translation of the title becomes emblematic of her transformation and the complexities of American life.
