captain pantoja and the special service mario vargas llosa

In this delightful farce, the prim and proper Captain Pantoja is sent to Peru''s Amazon frontier on a secret Army mission - he must find females for the amorous recruits. Yet complications arise as word of his achievements starts to spread, and he finds himself battling against his wife, religious zealots and the Army that gave him the mission in the first place.Through a wonderfully comic montage of letters, military documents, radio broadcasts, dream sequences and dialogue, Mario Vargas Llosa''s Captain Pantoja and the Special Service combines political satire with humour, morality with uproarious sexuality.

V románu se Mario Vargas Llosa vrací do rodného Peru a přináší příběh muže, jenž sní o sjednocení své země prostřednictvím hudby a při psaní knihy, v níž by se jeho vize ztělesnila, propadne šílenství. Tono Azpilcueta žije a dýchá pro kreolskou hudbu - není většího znalce ani sběratele, který by se mu vyrovnal. Přesto se živí psaním článků o hudbě pro brakové plátky, které mu platí sotva pár šupů. Osudným se mu stane večer, kdy vyslechne představení neznámého kytaristy, v němž rozpozná hudebního génia a jehož životopis se rozhodne napsat… Poslední román mistra latinskoamerické literatury Maria Vargase Llosy je plný vášní i hudby a tajemství, jemuž je jeho hrdina na stopě, odráží rozporuplnost celé jeho země."Díky neomylnému smyslu pro rytmus vyprávění, důslednosti v zacházení s daty a historickými reáliemi, opřenými o ohromující výzkum, a mistrné úspornosti dialogů jeho buřičské psaní otřásá světem podobně, jako to činili hrdinové rytířských románů, o nichž čítával."

Do této největší krabičky, odehrávající se v rovině přítomnosti, vložil Vargas Llosa řadu dalších krabiček, kde se čtenář především prostřednictvím dialogů a vnitřních monologů seznamuje se Santiagovou rodinou včetně služebných, s jeho kamarády ze čtvrti, se spolužáky na Univerzitě sv. Marka, s jeho láskami, s novinářskými kolegy i současnou manželkou; přes postavu Santiagova otce senátora pak s politiky a jejich rodinami a milenkami. Šofér Ambrosio slouží jako partner v debatě, který svými otázkami spouští Santiagovy vzpomínky.

Grand-Gugignol Cinema and the Horror Genre traces important contributions of the Parisian Grand-Guignol theatre’s Golden Age as theoretical considerations of embodiment and affect in the development of horror cinema in the twentieth century. This study traces key components of the Grand-Guignol stage as a means to explore the immersive and corporeal aspects of horror cinema from the sound period to today. The book is a means to explore the Grand-Guignol not only as a historical place and genre, but also, theoretically, as a conceptual framework that opens up an affective mapping of Grand-Guignol attractions in cinema. This study’s restoration of a long Grand-Guignol tradition in cinema makes it a significant contribution to new theorizations of horror. It brings seemingly disparate traditions into conversation, as American, Canadian, French, and Italian cinema are all important sites for thinking through cinematic embodiment. These four countries have developed their own important genres and movements of Grand-Guignol cinema: the slasher, the “French Films of Sensation,” Canadian “body horror” and the giallo. The Grand-Guignol famously operated in a dead-end of Chaptal Street, in the Pigalle district of Paris; this study offers affective and corporeal readings that open up new byways beyond the dead-end of psychoanalytic readings ...
