Beschreibung

August Strindberg's "Plays by August Strindberg, First Series" comprises a groundbreaking collection that showcases his mastery of naturalism and psychological drama. Through a series of innovative plays, including the notable works "Miss Julie" and "The Father," Strindberg explores the intricate dynamics of power, gender, and existential despair, utilizing sharp dialogue and a fragmented narrative style that reflects the complexities of human relationships. Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century Europe, these plays not only challenge societal norms but also draw upon Strindberg's own tumultuous experiences, creating a rich tapestry of emotional turmoil and philosophical inquiry. Strindberg, often considered one of the founders of modern drama, was profoundly influenced by his turbulent personal life, including his relationships and his struggles with mental health. His diverse experiences, from literary success to financial ruin, informed his perspective on societal constraints and the human psyche, motivating him to redefine theatrical boundaries. His works are characterized by a deep understanding of the human condition, presenting a raw and unfiltered examination of life that resonates across generations. "Plays by August Strindberg, First Series" is essential reading for those interested in the evolution of dramatic literature. This compelling collection not only provides insight into the intricate character studies and moral dilemmas that define Strindberg's oeuvre but also invites readers to engage with the universality of his themes. For scholars, students, and enthusiasts of drama alike, this collection is a riveting exploration of the depths of the human experience, securing Strindberg's legacy as a titan of modern theatre.

Fugazi's In on the Kill Taker

Joe Gross

By June 1993, when Washington, D.C.'s Fugazi released their third full-length album In on the Kill Taker, the quartet was reaching a thunderous peak in popularity and influence. With two EPs (combined into the classic CD 13 songs) and two albums (1990's genre-defining Repeater and 1991's impressionistic follow-up Steady Diet of Nothing) inside of five years, Fugazi was on creative roll, astounding increasingly large audiences as they toured, blasting fist-pumping anthems and jammy noise-workouts that roared into every open underground heart. When the album debuted on the now-SoundScan-driven charts, Fugazi had never been more in the public eye.Few knew how difficult it had been to make this popular breakthrough. Disappointed with the sound of the self-produced Steady Diet, the band recorded with legendary engineer Steve Albini, only to scrap the sessions and record at home in D.C. with Ted Niceley, their brilliant, under-known producer. Inadvertently, Fugazi chose an unsure moment to make In on the Kill Taker: as Nirvana and Sonic Youth were yanking the American rock underground into the media glare, and “breaking” punk in every possible meaning of the word. Despite all of this, Kill Taker became an alt-rock classic in spite of itself, even as its defiant, muscular sound stood in stark contrast to everything represented by the mainstreaming of a culture and worldview they held dear.This book features new interviews with all four members of Fugazi and members of their creative community.
