Phaedra

Jean Racine

Phaedra

First performed in Paris in 1677, Jean Racine’s “Phaedra” is the tenth of twelve plays by the author and his last to be based on Greek mythology. Racine, the famed French dramatist and master of dodecasyllabic alexandrine, the 12-syllable poetic meter, was a contemporary of Molière and Corneille. This classic story concerns its titular character, who though married to Theseus, the King of Athens, falls in love with Hippolytus, Theseus’ son from his first marriage. Hippolytus also has a forbidden...

Tartuffe

Molière

Tartuffe

Renowned for his satirical works, Molière (Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, 1622–1673) delighted in lampooning the social pretensions and conceits of 17th-century French society. In this 1664 verse comedy with serious overtones, Tartuffe, a penniless scoundrel and religious poseur, is invited by a gullible benefactor to live in his home.Imposing a rigidly puritanical regimen on the formerly happy household, Tartuffe wreaks havoc among family members. He breaks off the daughter's...

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW

Major Barbara

Fabian socialist and ardent proselytizer, George Bernard Shaw viewed his role as a playwright as far more than that of an entertainer. His audiences heard fully articulated sermons on moral and economic issues, a potentially dry theatrical experience enlivened by Shaw's genius for creating vital characters and scintillating dialogue. Major Barbara offers a sparkling example of its author's unique gift for presenting social theories in an engaging format.The eponymous heroine, an...

Гамлет. Король Лир (сборник)

Две самые знаменитые трагедии великого драматурга. Их почитали и почитают за честь экранизировать лучшие режиссеры мира. Легендарные афоризмы из них давно вошли в повседневный обиход, их персонажи стали нарицательными, и теперь молодого интеллектуала мы часто называем Гамлетом, а брошенного детьми старика – Королем Лиром. Эти трагедии можно читать и перечитывать бесконечно, снова и снова открывая для себя их психологическую глубину…

The League of Youth

Henrik Ibsen

The League of Youth

"The League of Youth" is Henrik Ibsen's comedic play which is the story of Stensgaard, a charismatic would-be politician, who forms the 'League of Youth' party and attempts to get elected. The character of Stensgaard is supposedly based on writer Bjornstjerne Bjornson, a contemporary of Ibsen and political opposition leader.

Phaedra

Jean Racine

Phaedra

The 17th century dramatist Jean Racine was considered, along with Molière and Corneille, as one of the three great playwrights of his era. The quality of Racine's poetry has been described as possibly his most important contribution to French literature and his use of the alexandrine poetic line is one of the best examples of such use noted for its harmony, simplicity and elegance. While critics over the centuries have debated the worth of Jean Racine, at present, he is widely considered a...

The School for Scandal and Other Plays

Combined in this volume are three of Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s most loved works. “The School for Scandal” is Sheridan’s classic comedy that pokes fun at London upper class society in the late 1700s. Often referred to as a “comedy of manners”, “The School for Scandal” is one Sheridan’s most performed plays and a classic of English comedic drama. “The Rivals” was Sheridan’s first play and while at first it was not well received it would go on to prove to be a great success and establish Sheridan...

The Vikings at Helgeland

Henrik Ibsen

The Vikings at Helgeland

Henrik Ibsen wrote the following of his 1857 drama, 'The Vikings at Helgeland': «It was in the Icelandic family sagas that I found, in full measure, what I needed of human covering for the moods, ideas and thoughts of which I was full at that time, or of which I had at any rate a more or less clear idea. Up till then I had been ignorant, indeed hardly heard of, these ancient Nordic literary contributions to the history of the people of our saga times. By chance I got hold of N. M....

August Strindberg

Miss Julie and Other Plays

This collection of plays by Swedish playwright and writer, August Strindberg, are a testimony to his title as «the father of modern literature» in Sweden, as well as to his distinction as one of the most important playwrights of the 20th century. Beginning with two of his popular, early plays, «The Father» and «Miss Julie,» this edition explores Strindberg's crucial transition from Naturalism to Modernism, concluding with «The Dance of Death,» «A Dream Play,» and «The Ghost Sonata.» As an...

The Critic

Ричард Шеридан

The Critic

In «The Critic» Richard Brinsley Sheridan turns his attention to satirize the Theatre and all the people engaged in the business of the Theatre in late 18th century England. The critic of the story is a man by the name of Mr. Dangle and the play that is the subject of criticism is a horribly written production named «The Spanish Armada». Fans of Sheridan will delight in this lesser known work.

Four Plays

Eugene O'Neill

Four Plays

Contained within this volume are some of the best of O’Neill’s early one-act plays, which foreshadowed the longer plays that have given this dramatist his most enduring fame. “Beyond the Horizon” was the first of O’Neill’s three Pulitzer Prize-winning plays. It follows the disappointed dreams of two brothers on their family farm. “The Emperor Jones” is an expressionistic transformation of a black man named Brutus Jones. In fleeing from his rebelling subjects in the West Indies, Jones is taken...

The Voyage to Parnassus, The Siege of Numantia, and The Treaty of Algiers

Considered by many as the greatest of all Spanish authors, Miguel de Cervantes is most well-known of course for «Don Quixote,» a work of such literary impact that its historical importance cannot be understated. Unfortunately Cervantes' other works are often overlooked and characterized as inferior to his masterpiece. While his other writings never gained the popularity of «Don Quixote,» he did author several other works that are worthy of consideration. Amongst these are «The Voyage to...
