Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. By reading this summary, you will learn how to seduce without causing harm. You will also discover : that language is an essential faculty to seduce; that seduction can become an addiction; that Dom Juan is not the seducer you imagine; that seduction is a form of theater; that wanting to seduce can sometimes make you lose those who love you the most. The character of Dom Juan is born under the pen of Tirso de Molina, in a play published in 1630 in Barcelona. Taking up a popular myth, the play stages the adventures of a young nobleman seducing and abusing the women he meets along the way. Thirty years later, Molière presents a different character from the one retained by popular culture. Indeed, the French playwright portrays a rebellious and ambiguous aristocrat, opposed to all the values of his time. Skillfully seductive, he does not, however, manage to keep his conquests. If Dom Juan has a brilliant rhetoric, his perpetual desire for conquest nevertheless prevents him from achieving his ends. How can one not fall into the traps of seduction? *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!

Download or read book Don Juan written by Stephen Wadsworth and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book invites the reader to consider the history of Moliere's much-censored and oft-bowdlerized play "Don Juan," and to imagine, through this version of its text, its original fire. Moliere's wildly controversial script enjoyed exactly one performance before the censors and lobbyists started pulling it apart. This version supposes what could or might have been head that night, and means to bring modern audiences into the hour of the play's premiere-the high stakes for all involved, and the alarming effect the text and its ideas clearly had on those present. It includes a brief history of the play's suppression and early published editions, by Joan DeJean, an indefatigable scholar of Moliere, "Don Juan" and French culture. It also includes a brief history of Moliere's political and theatrical milieu.

Book Synopsis A Study of the Major Novellas of E.T.A. Hoffmann by : Birgit Röder
Download or read book A Study of the Major Novellas of E.T.A. Hoffmann written by Birgit Röder and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2003 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysis of the novellas of the German Romantic writer and composer, focusing on the issues of art and the artist. The German Romantic writer and composer E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776-1822) -- perhaps best known to the English-speaking world through his Nutcracker and through Jacques Offenbach's opera Tales of Hoffmann -- struggled toconvince his predominantly bourgeois public of the merits of art and literature. Not surprisingly, many of his most important novellas are bound up with the dilemmas of art and the challenges faced by the Romantic artist, and itis these Künstlernovellen that are the focus of this study. Birgit Röderargues that Hoffmann's artists are not simply individuals who create works of art, but rather figures through whom the author explores the predicamentof those who reject the conventional world of bourgeois reality and seek to assert the claims of the imagination in a world dominated by prosaic rationalism. Contrary to previous scholars however, Röder demonstrates that Hoffmann's novellas clearly warn against a view of art as an autonomous aesthetic realm cut off from the world of reality. This is particularly apparent in Röder's analysis of gender relations in Hoffmann's oeuvre -- especially the relationship between (male) artist and (female) muse -- which underlines the extent to which art, literature, and the imagination are inseparably bound up with the prevailing social reality. The novellas that are given extensive consideration are Das Fräulein von Scuderi, Der Sandmann, Die Jesuiterkirche in G., Die Fermate, Der Artushof, Don Juan, Das Sanctus, and Rat Krespel. Birgit Röder teaches German language and literature at the University of Reading, UK.
