the real thing tom stoppard

I do envy you being married to a man with a sense of humour. Henry thinks he has a sense of humour, but what he has is a joke reflex.The play begins with Max and Charlotte, a couple whose marriage seems about to rupture. But nothing one sees on a stage is the real thing, and some things are less real than others. Charlotte is an actress who has been appearing in a play about marriage written by her husband Henry. Max, her leading man, is also married to an actress, Annie. Both marriages are at the point of rupture because Henry and Annie have fallen in love. But is it the real thing?The Real Thing premiered at the Strand Theatre, London, in 1982, winning the Evening Standard Award for Best Play. It received the Tony Award for Best Play in 1984, and, in 2000, the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play. What is this thing called love? In The Real Thing, we watch Henry find the answer - and we watch Mr. Stoppard do so too. The author of such high-flying neo-Shavian farces as Jumpers and Travesties turns his attention to private passion - and he does so without mortgaging an intellect that has few equals in the contemporary theater. The Real Thing is not only Mr. Stoppard s most moving play, but also the most bracing play that anyone has written about love and marriage in years . . . so densely and entertainingly packed with wit, ideas and feelings that one visit just won t do.

What he learned about their methods of communication changed his life forever.His horse whisperer powers may seem like magic, but his amazing horse sense is based on a lifetime of experience and a deep love and understanding of horses.

A shifting, primordial work by Cesare Pavese, plumbing the netherworlds of philosophy, myth, human feeling, and mortality Above all [Pavese s novels] are works of an extraordinary depth where one never stops finding new levels, new meanings . . . Each one of Pavese s novels revolves around a hidden theme, something unsaid which is the real thing he wants to say. — Italo Calvino Cesare Pavese s The Leucothea Dialogues is peopled with gods, centaurs, clouds, poets, hunters, snakes, and nymphs. These are the beings who spoke to him through the ancient plays and poems he read in primary school. Here they speak again in the twenty-seven dialogues that form the novel. Pavese calls mythology a hothouse of symbols. His hothouse is liveliest at night, in the peculiar clarity of darkness. Pavese s characters are more than characters, they play like the dreams of earliest childhood, they pose questions that seem to travel through the minds of the dead to the minds of the living and back again. Through reeds, shadows, glens, fields of blazing straw, homes and villages on the edges of valleys, and over cliffs, we follow their harried stories. In Minna Zallman Proctor s radiant translation, The Leucothea Dialogues is an expression of an exhilarating intelligence.

A wonderful new selection of Henry James s short stories exploring the relationship between art and life, edited by Michael Gorra.This volume gathers seven of the very best of Henry James s short stories, all focussing the relationship between art and life. In The Aspern Papers , a critic is determined to get his hands on a great poet s papers hidden in a faded Venetian house - not matter what the human cost. The Author of Beltraffio , The Lesson of the Master and The Figure in the Carpet all focus on naive young men s unsettling encounters with their literary heroes. In The Middle Years , a dying novelist begins to glimpse his own potential, while The Real Thing and Greville Fane both explore the tension between artistic and commercial success. These fables of the creative life reveal James at his ironic, provocative best.Henry James was born in 1843 in New York and died in London in 1916. In addition to many short stories, plays, books of criticism, autobiography and travel, he wrote some twenty novels, the first published being Roderick Hudson (1875). They include The Europeans, Washington Square, The Portrait of a Lady, The Bostonians, The Princess Casamassima, The Tragic Muse, The Spoils of Poynton, The Awkward Age, The Wings of the Dove, The Ambassadors and The Golden Bowl.Michael Gorra is Professor of English at Smith College and the author of Portrait of a Novel: Henry James and the Making of an American Masterpiece (2012), a finalist for both the Pulitzer Prize and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in biography.

No one explodes one of the longest-held misconceptions of music history better than Steve Lukather and his band Toto. The dominant pop-culture sound of the late-1970s and 80s was not in fact the smash and sneer of punk, but a slick, polished amalgam of rock and R B that was first staked out on Boz Scaggs Silk Degrees. That album was shaped in large part by the founding members of Toto, who were emerging as the most in-demand elite session muso-crew in LA, and further developed on the band s self-titled three-million-selling debut smash of 1978. A string of hits followed for the band going into the 80s and beyond. Running parallel to this, as stellar session players, Lukather and band-mates David Paich, Jeff Porcaro and Steve Porcaro were also the creative linchpins on some of the most successful, influential and enduring records of the era. In The Gospel According to Luke, Lukather tells the Toto story: how a group of high school friends formed the band in 1977 and went on to sell more than 40 million records worldwide. He also lifts the lid on what really went on behind the closed studio doors and shows the unique creative processes of some of the most legendary names in music: from Quincy Jones, Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks and Elton John to Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, Don Henley, Roger Waters and Aretha Franklin. And yet, Lukather s extraordinary tale encompasses the dark side of the American Dream.Engaging, incisive and often hilarious, The Gospel According to Luke is no ordinary rock memoir. It is the real thing . . .

The iconic debut novel by one of the greatest writers of our era (Hilary Mantel) and the Irish novelist everyone should read (Colm Tóibín).Elizabeth Reegan, after years of freedom - and loneliness - marries into the enclosed Irish village of her upbringing. The children are not her own; her husband is straining to break free from the servile security of the police force; and her own life, threatened by illness, seems to be losing the last vestiges of its purpose.

Otherwise we⠙re going out the way we came in.Arcadia premiered at the National Theatre, London, 1993, winning the Olivier Award for Best New Play and the Evening Standard Award for Best Play.⠘It is a laugh-filled tragedy about what happens if you take the intoxicants of poetry and science seriously. It is a play where Stoppard turns himself into a clown whose juggling balls are Romanticism, Classicism, and the meaning of life . . . The stale cliché about Stoppard is that he is a brilliant manipulator of ideas, but with no heart. Yet here ⠓ at the core of his best play ⠓ is the greatest love story on the British stage for decades. Yes, the characters bond over ideas ⠓ but some of the most interesting people in life do just that. That would be enough to make Arcadia a masterpiece ⠓ but it is even more than that. The play stirs the most basic and profound questions humans can ask. How should we live with the knowledge that extinction is certain ⠓ not just of ourselves, but of our species?⠙ INDEPENDENT⠘I have never left a new play more convinced that I⠙d witnessed a masterpiece.⠙ DAILY TELEGRAPH⠘A brilliant, brilliant play. A play of ideas, of consummate theatricality, of sophisticated entertainment and of heartache for time never to be regained.⠙ SUNDAY TIMES

V originální adaptaci hry Ference Molnára Hra na zámku se s Tomem Stoppardem ocitáme na palubě zaoceánského parníku, na nějž právě nasedli úspěšní autoři operet Turai a Gal spolu se skladatelem Adamem Adamem. Trojice se chystá překvapit své herce, divu Natašu Navrátilovou a pelichajícího donchuána Reného Sledě, kteří se nalodili už dřív - a zastihne je ve chvíli, kdy René vyznává Nataše lásku. Aby zachránil situaci, vymyslí Turai ďábelský plán s cílem přesvědčit Adama, že zaslechnutá slova byla ve skutečnosti Reného trapným pokusem o divadelní hru. Obstojí tato křehká konstrukce? Smíří se Nataša s Adamem? Přestane René Sleď obtěžovat okolí svou nepříliš vyvinutou inteligencí? A jak do toho všeho zapadá stevard Dvorníček, muž mnoha talentů, pohybující se na křehké hranici mezi genialitou a šílenstvím? Lehce naivistický příběh klasického střihu vyšperkoval Stoppard množstvím situačního a slovního humoru, jeho typické gejzíry ironických bonmotů a jemná ironizace způsobu samotné psaní divadelních textů.

The Incredible Radical Liberal Jumpers are a team of acrobatic professors of philosophy, whose absurd gymnastic displays reflect a bewildering world where logic has confounded belief in moral absolutes. In this dark, exuberant comedy, Stoppard brilliantly parodies the philosophy lecture, the detective thriller, the comedy of manners and the Whitehall farce, to follow a philosopher s doomed flight to prove the existence of God in the face of an indifferent universe.This is the definitive text of Tom Stoppard s celebrated comedy. A dazzling, hilarious and honestly benevolent work, which creates a dramatic structure from a forbidding diversity of materials. The Times

Dvacet let po vydání výboru Tom Stoppard: Hry (2002), který obsahoval do té doby nejznámější tituly tohoto světoznámého dramatika českého původu (*1937, Zlín), vychází v Institutu umění - Divadelním ústavu druhý svazek jeho her. Ten spolu s připravovaným svazkem třetím, který představí bohatý svět dramatikových pozdějších děl, završí české vydání kompletní Stoppardovy původní tvorby psané pro divadlo. Hry II zahrnují texty napsané a uvedené do roku 1989. Od Stoppardova raného díla Volný jako pták přes intelektuálně hravé až bláznivé komedie Podle Magritta a Špinavé prádlo a Nová země se přesuneme ke hrám, jež jsou odrazem dramatikova zájmu o existenciální rozměr rozděleného světa studené války - Skokani, EGHDF, Noc a den a Dvojitý agent. Ani v nich však nepostrádáme Stoppardův smysl pro absurdno (ve svých počátcích býval - spíše mylně - k absurdním dramatikům přiřazován) a slovní gagy, obdivuhodnou lehkost, s jakou dokáže v rozměru divadelního představení zasvětit diváky do nejsložitějších problémů soudobého světa i (jako například v Umělci sestupujícím ze schodů) dělat si legraci z umění 20. století. Ve hrách Noc a den a Dvojitý agent se navíc v jeho dramatice začínají prosazovat silné ženské postavy a s nimi emocionalita, kterou rané Stoppardovy hry zdánlivě popíraly.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is a play which, as it were, takes place in the wings of Hamlet, and finds both humour and poignancy in the situation of the ill-fated attendant lords. The National Theatre production in April 1967 made Tom Stoppard s reputation virtually overnight. Its wit, stagecraft and verbal verve remain as exhilarating as they were then and the play has become a contemporary classic.

â ˜Tom Stoppardâ ™s Travesties is witty, playful and wise. Forty years on, it is starting to look timeless as well.â ™ Sunday Timesâ ˜It is a champagne cocktail, compounded of a balletic nimbleness of invention, a bewildering intricacy of design which reaches the sublime heights where mathematics merge with poetry, and the audacious juggling of a master conjuror.â ™ Sunday Telegraph â ˜A dazzling pyrotechnical feat that combines Wildean pastiche, political history, artistic debate, spoof reminiscence, and song-and-dance in marvellously judicious proportions. The text itself is a Joycean web of literary allusions; yet it also radiates sheer intellectual joie de vivre, as if Stoppard were delightedly communicating the fruits of his own researches.â ™ GuardianTravesties was first performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Aldwych Theatre, London, in June 1974. This edition includes a new preface by the author, and revisions made by him for a revival at the Menier Chocolate Factory, London, in October 2016.?

Slovak Jewish writer Leopold Lahola escaped deportation to a concentration camp and fought in the resistance, only to find himself forced into exile by the postwar communist regime. He emerged from obscurity during the brief thaw of the Prague Spring, when he was able to return to his homeland, thriving as a playwright and film director. It was also in 1968 that his short story collection The Last Thing appeared in Slovakia. The collection s title proved sadly prophetic with the author suffering a fatal heart attack in January 1968, just before his 50th birthday and as his short stories finally appeared in book form. The nine stories which make up The Last Thing range from the prewar rise of fascism and its dangers for the Jewish community through the concentration camps and the partisan fight against the Germans, concluding with a devastating summation of all that had been lost and destroyed in the war. Lahola writes masterfully outside of conventional tropes, exploring moral ambivalences where others work comfortably within the simple opposition of good versus evil. He punctures the standard historical image of the partisan fighters by depicting their heroism alongside their cruelty and pettiness while also showing how often bravery and madness, kindness and stupidity can coexist. Lahola has written a sequence of World War II stories whose translation will offer not only a compelling read but starkly new perspectives on the tragedy and grandeur of that momentous time in history.

From gravity to black holes, special relativity to global warming, bestselling author Marcus Chown breaks down complex science into manageable chunks, explaining the one thing you really need to know to get to grips with the subject.Rather than trying to bend your mind around all the vast and confounding details of things such as gravitational waves, electricity and black holes, wouldn’t it be easier to understand just one central concept from which everything else follows?If you’ve ever found yourself fascinated by the idea of quantum computing but feel a little overwhelmed by the mindblowing subject of quantum mechanics or if you are concerned by climate change but haven’t been able to get to grips with the details of global warming, this book is for you. Let’s take atoms, for example – what on earth are they? Well, if you start to think of them less like things you can’t see with complex little nuclei and more like the alphabet of nature, which in different configurations can make a rose, a galaxy or a newborn baby, they might start to feel a little more understandable. Or gravitational waves – they sound poetic, but why are they creating so much excitement? Think of them as the voice of space or vibrations on the drumskin of space-time, before delving into all their complexities.In twenty-one short and engaging chapters, Chown explains the one thing you need to know to understand some of the most important scientific ideas of our time. Packed full of astounding facts, scientific history and the entertaining personalities at the heart of the most pivotal discoveries about the workings of our universe, this is an accessible guide to all the tricky stuff you’ve always wanted to understand more about.

A Living Now Book Awards Gold Medalist, Social Activism/Charity A practical, shame-free guide for navigating conversations across our differences at a time of rapid social change.In the current period of social and political unrest, conversations about identity are becoming more frequent and more difficult. On subjects like critical race theory, gender equity in the workplace, and LGBTQ-inclusive classrooms, many of us are understandably fearful of saying the wrong thing. That fear can sometimes prevent us from speaking up at all, depriving people from marginalized groups of support and stalling progress toward a more just and inclusive society. Kenji Yoshino and David Glasgow, founders of the Meltzer Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging at NYU School of Law, are here to show potential allies that these conversations don’t have to be so overwhelming. Through stories drawn from contexts as varied as social media posts, dinner party conversations, and workplace disputes, they offer seven user-friendly principles that teach skills such as how to avoid common conversational pitfalls, engage in respectful disagreement, offer authentic apologies, and better support people in our lives who experience bias. Research-backed, accessible, and uplifting, Say the Right Thing charts a pathway out of cancel culture toward more meaningful and empathetic dialogue on issues of identity. It also gives us the practical tools to do good in our spheres of influence. Whether managing diverse teams at work, navigating issues of inclusion at college, or challenging biased comments at a family barbecue, Yoshino and Glasgow help us move from unconsciously hurting people to consciously helping them.

Alters the landscape of Lacanian film theory by revealing an emancipatory drive in transnational cinema.A significant intervention into Lacanian film studies, this book sets forth a new theory of the psychoanalytic Real in cinema. In psychoanalysis, the Real ruptures the Symbolic that organizes law, ideology, and other systems of belief, revealing fissures in this underlying order. The Cinema of the Real explores how transnational cinema and especially South Korean cinema facilitate an encounter with the Real, enabling the emergence of a new political subject. Paying close attention to form, Hyon Joo Yoo reveals the existence of an emancipatory drive in films by Jang Hun, Park Chan-wook, Lee Chang-dong, Jia Zhangke, Michael Haneke, Claire Denis, and Bong Joon-ho, among others. Their work in effect provides viewers with a picture of how it looks and feels to be on a trajectory in which the subject and her world can change. Far from being a passive consumer of images, Yoo s spectator enters the space of the Real. Theoretically rigorous and inventive, The Cinema of the Real offers new, transnationally attuned tools for conceptualizing the body, affect, femininity, and spectatorship, as well as fresh readings of both classic and contemporary films.
