Chatsky & Miser, Miser! Two Plays by Anthony Burgess【電子書籍】[ Alexander Griboyedov ]

＜p＞Anthony Burgess was an energetic writer and composer, whose work＜br /＞ for the stage is widely admired. In ＜em＞Two Plays＜/em＞, we see him tackling＜br /＞ major monuments of French and Russian theatre: ＜em＞The Miser＜/em＞ by＜br /＞ Moli?re and ＜em＞Chatsky＜/em＞ by Alexander Griboyedov.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Miser, Miser!＜/em＞ is a bold reworking of Moli?re’s classic comedy of＜br /＞ 1668. Harpagon the miser is hoarding a pile of gold, which he has＜br /＞ buried in his garden. As he tries to sell off his daughter, catch himself＜br /＞ a beautiful young bride and outwit his scheming household of clever＜br /＞ servants, the comedy of errors intensifies.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Although the original French play is written in prose, Burgess＜br /＞ remakes it in a mixture of verse and prose, in the style of his famous＜br /＞ adaptation of ＜em＞Cyrano de Bergerac＜/em＞. This translation, discovered in the＜br /＞ author’s archive, is the work of a writer at the height of his powers,＜br /＞ reinventing Moli?re for modern audiences.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Chatsky＜/em＞, subtitled ‘The Importance of Being Stupid’ is another verse＜br /＞ comedy. The theme is that of the intellectual hero who rebels＜br /＞ against the smug, philistine society in which he finds himself. First＜br /＞ performed in 1833, Griboyedov’s play was so heavily cut by Russian＜br /＞ censors that it was barely recognisable. The play is a virtuoso vehicle＜br /＞ for male actors, and the source of many famous quotations. It is＜br /＞ also notoriously difficult to translate. In ＜em＞Chatsky＜/em＞, Burgess remakes a＜br /＞ classic Russian play in the spirit of Oscar Wilde. It is a great feast of＜br /＞ language and invective.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The complete texts of both plays are published here for the first time.＜br /＞ ＜em＞Two Plays＜/em＞ confirms Anthony Burgess’s reputation as a gifted writer＜br /＞ for the stage, and as a translator of great wit and sophistication.＜/p＞ ＜p＞MISER, MISER!
