图书标签: 戏剧 英国 TomStoppard 现代的 近代史 西方政治历史 艺术 战争
Travesties was born out of Stoppard's noting that in 1917 three of the twentieth century's most crucial revolutionaries -- James Joyce, the Dadaist founder Tristan Tzara, and Lenin -- were all living in Zurich. Also living in Zurich at this time was a British consula official called Henry Carr, a man acquainted with Joyce through the theater and later through a lawsuit concerning a pair of trousers. Taking Carr as his core, Stoppard spins this historical coincidence into a masterful and riotously funny play, a speculative portrait of what could have been the meeting of these profoundly influential men in a germinal Europe as seen through the lucid, lurid, faulty, and wholy riveting memory of an aging Henry Carr.
an intellectual & structural complexity, a harmonious whole
评分I learned three things in Zurich during the war. I wrote them down. Firstly, you’re either a revolutionary or you’re not, and if you’re not you might as well be an artist as anything else. Secondly, if you can’t be an artist, you might as well be a revolutionary … I forget the third thing.
评分——What of it? I was here. They were here. They went on. I went on. We all went on. —— No, we didn’t. We stayed. They all went on.
评分Hilarious —— Tom Stoppard你这是在写RPS吧——Tzara/Joyce/Lenin + "Drive them Wilde"!
