Tom Stoppard s masterpiece, with a beautiful new cover. Comparing what we⠙re looking for misses the point. It⠙s wanting to know that makes us matter. 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

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.

But Hermann Merz, a manufacturer and baptised Jew married to Catholic Gretl, has moved up in the world. Gathered in the Merz apartment in a fashionable part of the city, Hermannâ ™s extended family are at the heart of Tom Stoppardâ ™s epic yet intimate drama. By the time we have taken leave of them, Austria has passed through the convulsions of war, revolution, impoverishment, annexation by Nazi Germany and - for Austrian Jews - the Holocaust in which 65,000 of them were murdered.

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.

WINNER OF THE CWA GOLD DAGGER FOR NON-FICTION Gripping from the start, Written in Bone is superb - Dr Richard Shepherd, author of Unnatural Causes No Scientist communicates better than Sue Black - Val McDermid, author of Still Life Macabre, authoritative and fascinating. - The Sunday TimesOur bones are the silent witnesses to the lives we lead. Our stories are marbled into their marrow.Drawing upon her years of research and a wealth of remarkable experience, the world-renowned forensic anthropologist Professor Dame Sue Black takes us on a journey of revelation. From skull to feet, via the face, spine, chest, arms, hands, pelvis and legs, she shows that each part of us has a tale to tell. What we eat, where we go, everything we do leaves a trace, a message that waits patiently for months, years, sometimes centuries, until a forensic anthropologist is called upon to decipher it.Some of this information is easily understood, some holds its secrets tight and needs scientific cajoling to be released. But by carefully piecing together the evidence, the facts of a life can be rebuilt.Limb by limb, case by case - some criminal, some historical, some unaccountably bizarre - Sue Black reconstructs with intimate sensitivity and compassion the hidden stories in what we leave behind.Praise for Sue Black: Sue Black has a rare ability to make blood and bones come alive.

One of the Financial Times Best Economics Books of 2023Visionary Oxford professor Ian Goldin and The Economist s Tom Lee-Devlin show why the city is where the battles of inequality, social division, pandemics and climate change must be faced.From centres of antiquity like Athens or Rome to modern metropolises like New York or Shanghai, cities throughout history have been the engines of human progress and the epicentres of our greatest achievements. Now, for the first time, more than half of humanity lives in cities, and that continues to rise. In the developing world, cities are growing at a rate never seen before.Professor Goldin and Tom Lee-Devlin show why making our societies fairer, more cohesive and sustainable must start with our cities. Globalization and technological change have concentrated wealth into a small number of booming metropolises, leaving many smaller cities and towns behind and feeding populist resentment. Yet even within seemingly thriving cities like London or San Francisco, the gap between the haves and have-nots continues to widen and our retreat into online worlds tears away at our social fabric. Meanwhile, pandemics and climate change pose existential threats to our increasingly urban world.Age of the City combines the lessons of history with a deep understanding of the challenges confronting our world today to show why cities are at a crossroads – and hold our destinies in the balance.

It will thrill Lee #39;s fans and fascinate the unfamiliar #39; – Jonathan Eig, author of Ali: A Life and Luckiest Man: The Life and Death of Lou Gehrig #39;Meticulously researched #39; – Jimmy McDonough, author of Shakey: Neil Young’s Biography and Soul Survivor: A Biography of Al Green #39;You won #39;t find a better match for a biographer with his subject than Matthew Polly and Bruce Lee... A definitive biography, told with passion and punch #39; – Brian Jay Jones, author George Lucas: A Life and Jim Henson: The Biography. More than forty years after Bruce Lee’s sudden death at age 32, journalist and author Matthew Polly has written the definitive account of Lee’s life. It’s also one of the only accounts; incredibly, there has never been an authoritative biography of Lee. Following a decade of research that included conducting more than one hundred interviews with Lee’s family, friends, business associates and even the mistress in whose bed Lee died, Polly has constructed a complex, humane portrait of the icon. There are his early years as a child star in Hong Kong cinema; his actor father’s struggles with opium addiction and how that turned Bruce into a troublemaking teenager who was kicked out of high school and eventually sent to America to shape up; his beginnings as a martial arts teacher, eventually becoming personal instructor to movie stars like Steve McQueen; his struggles as an Asian-American actor in Hollywood and frustration seeing role after role he auditioned for go to white actors in eye makeup; his eventual triumph as a leading man; his challenges juggling a sky-rocketing career with his duties as a father and husband; and his shocking end that to this day is still shrouded in mystery.Polly breaks down the myth of Bruce Lee and argues that, contrary to popular belief, he was an ambitious actor who was obsessed with martial arts—not a great kung-fu master who just so happened to make a couple of movies. The book offers an honest look at an impressive yet flawed man whose personal story was even more entertaining and inspiring than any fictional role he played on-screen.Praise for Matthew Polly #39;Hypnotic...Tapped Out manages to humanize a sport once demonized as human cockfighting by deconstructing the stereotype of the martial-arts tough guy. #39; – New York Times #39;Tapped Out is a knockout for MMA fans, who will laugh at the intimate portraits Polly sketches of some of the sport #39;s most famous personalities.

Few gave tiny Singapore much chance of survival when it was granted independence in 1965. How is it, then, that today the former British colonial trading post is a thriving Asian metropolis with not only the world s number one airline, best airport, and busiest port of trade, but also the world s fourth–highest per capita real income? The story of that transformation is told here by Singapore s charismatic, controversial founding father, Lee Kuan Yew. Rising from a legacy of divisive colonialism, the devastation of the Second World War, and general poverty and disorder following the withdrawal of foreign forces, Singapore now is hailed as a city of the future. This miraculous history is dramatically recounted by the man who not only lived through it all but who fearlessly forged ahead and brought about most of these changes. Delving deep into his own meticulous notes, as well as previously unpublished government papers and official records, Lee details the extraordinary efforts it took for an island city–state in Southeast Asia to survive at that time. Lee explains how he and his cabinet colleagues finished off the communist threat to the fledgling state s security and began the arduous process of nation building: forging basic infrastructural roads through a land that still consisted primarily of swamps, creating an army from a hitherto racially and ideologically divided population, stamping out the last vestiges of colonial–era corruption, providing mass public housing, and establishing a national airline and airport. In this illuminating account, Lee writes frankly about his trenchant approach to political opponents and his often unorthodox views on human rights, democracy, and inherited intelligence, aiming always to be correct, not politically correct. Nothing in Singapore escaped his watchful eye: whether choosing shrubs for the greening of the country, restoring the romance of the historic Raffles Hotel, or openly, unabashedly persuading young men to marry women as well educated as themselves. Today s safe, tidy Singapore bears Lee s unmistakable stamp, for which he is unapologetic: If this is a nanny state, I am proud to have fostered one. Though Lee s domestic canvas in Singapore was small, his vigor and talent assured him a larger place in world affairs. With inimitable style, he brings history to life with cogent analyses of some of the greatest strategic issues of recent times and reveals how, over the years, he navigated the shifting tides of relations among America, China, and Taiwan, acting as confidant, sounding board, and messenger for them. He also includes candid, sometimes acerbic pen portraits of his political peers, including the indomitable Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan, the poetry–spouting Jiang Zemin, and ideologues George Bush and Deng Xiaoping. Lee also lifts the veil on his family life and writes tenderly of his wife and stalwart partner, Kwa Geok Choo, and of their pride in their three children –– particularly the eldest son, Hsien Loong, who is now Singapore s deputy prime minister. For more than three decades, Lee Kuan Yew has been praised and vilified in equal measure, and he has established himself as a force impossible to ignore in Asian and international politics. From Third World to First offers readers a compelling glimpse into this visionary s heart, soul, and mind.

Together with Man Ray she accidentally discovered the distinctive technique of solarization to create mesmerizing halo effects. After establishing her own photographic studio in New York, where she became a prominent commercial photographer, she then moved to the Middle East and Europe before becoming the official war photographer for Vogue, a period during which she took many of her most iconic photographs. This evocative book collects Lee Millerâ ™s most famous documentary, fashion, and war works, as well as photographs of Miller, all carefully compiled by her son the photographer Antony Penrose, with a foreword by actress Kate Winslet, who will star as Miller in the film Lee.

Fifty Years of New York Graffiti Art and Beyond is the first monograph of Puerto Rican born artist Lee Quiñones presenting his monumental work and following his evolution over five decades. If you wanted one artist to speak for a whole genre, Lee is your man. If you want a book that treats graffiti as fine art and illustrates it sumptuously, this is it. - The Artist An inspired outlaw with a meticulous design process and precision painting skills, his voice responded to the social and civil unrest of the era and found expression in painting graffiti, an ancient art form that he and many of his peers had to defend in the larger art world. - Juxtapoz What we have here are essentially moments in time, a stop-frame history of fifty years of graffiti, if you like. If you want just one book on the subject, this would be it. - Art Book Review When 14-year-old Lee embarked on his first spray paint mural in 1974, he carried marker drawings into the New York City subway train yards that served as studies to his 52-ft long rolling murals. Drawings, artifacts, and subway photography illustrate how Lee⠙s emergence served as a catalyst for what is now acknowledged as the street art movement. Before Lee, graffiti art was accessed by a small audience of young people who coveted style and scale. Images of Lee⠙s trains illustrate how he changed the face of the movement, infusing kinetic elements of futurism in over 120 subway car murals across the transit system. Lee invented the concept of the freestanding urban mural in his iconic 1978 Howard the Duck handball wall. He introduced spray-paint based work internationally when he opened his first formal exhibition in Rome, Italy in 1979, alongside Fab 5 Freddy. He influenced peers Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Jenny Holzer, among others, who are shown viewing Lee⠙s work. Lee and Basquiat were the youngest artists to exhibit at Documenta 7. Lee starred as the semi-autobiographical Zoro in Wild Style, the first feature film about hip hop. Images show the social commentary and poetry used in his early expressionistic work. Subsequent paintings show how Lee⠙s practice has shaped a generation of contemporary artists as he further developed his technique. The imagery captures the mood and urgency of 1980s New York and moves from the streets to the intimacy and maturity of Lee⠙s contemporary studio environment.

On 9 January 2019, Lee Spencer, a disabled former Royal Marine, set out in a tiny rowing boat called Hope from the Southern Portuguese town of Portimao. He was hoping to become the fourth person in history to row solo and unsupported across the Atlantic Ocean, as well the first disabled person to complete the row and the fastest. After sixty days, sixteen hours and six minutes at sea, Lee rowed into the Mahury River estuary in Cayenne, South America, shattering the able-bodied record by an astonishing thirty-six days and became the world⠙s only physically disabled person, to break and hold an able-bodied record in an endurance event. Lee dreamed of one day being strong enough to face his father. He dreamed of becoming a Royal Marine. In 1992 he achieved his goal. Having served in the second Iraq War, Lee then volunteered for Special Duties and was one of only three out of 126 who eventually passed the course. He then completed three tours of Afghanistan as an agent handler. Then on a dark wintery night, Lee stopped to help at the scene of a motorway crash. Struck by debris when another car hit the scene, Lee came within a whisker of bleeding to death. He instructed a passer-by to stand on his groin when a makeshift torniquet wouldn⠙t work. Surgeons, though, could not save his leg. Unperturbed by becoming disabled, he learned to walk again, would row across the Atlantic with the world⠙s first physically disabled crew of four ⠓ with just three legs between them ⠓ to row any ocean and to embark on his epic solo journey. In The Rowing Marine Lee takes us on his epic solo voyage, as he relates his unparalleled life story, bringing the threads of his many experiences together.

I entered the church...It struck me suddenly that all this crowd of men and women standing all round, these priests chanting and moving about the altar, were dead...Vernon Lee was a polymath whose copious writings include deeply learned studies of art, music, literature, and history, but also a small but exquisitely crafted group of Gothic tales, most of which first appeared in fin de siècle periodicals including the iconic Yellow Book. In these stories of obsession and possession, transgressive desire reaches out from the past -- through a haunting portrait, a murdered poet s lock of hair, the uncanny voice of a diabolical castrato -- dragging Lee s protagonists to their doom. Among those haunted by Lee s spurious ghosts was Henry James, who praised her gruesome, graceful...ingenious tales, full of imagination .This new edition includes Lee s landmark 1890 collection Hauntings complete, along with six additional tales and the 1880 essay Faustus and Helena , in which Lee probes the elusive nature of the supernatural as a vital...fluctuating...potent force that resists definite representation. Aaron Worth s contextual introduction, drawing upon Lee s newly published letters, reassesses her place in the pantheon of the fantastic.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
