Sinossi

Absurdist Drama Foundations delves into the Theatre of the Absurd, a dramatic movement born from post-World War II disillusionment. It explores how playwrights use illogical narratives and existentialist principles to portray the human condition in a world often perceived as meaningless. This book uniquely bridges philosophy and the performing arts, offering a comprehensive look at how playwrights like Samuel Beckett and Eugene Ionesco challenged traditional theatre structures to reflect the absurdity of existence. For example, plays often feature cyclical structures, mirroring the perceived lack of progress in life.

 
The book argues that while seemingly pessimistic, Absurdist drama provides catharsis by confronting the inherent meaninglessness of existence. It begins by laying the philosophical groundwork of existentialism and absurdism, then analyzes key plays, demonstrating how themes of alienation and communication breakdown are conveyed. The analysis includes case studies of plays like Waiting for Godot, Rhinoceros, and The Birthday Party.

 
Finally, the book concludes by examining the lasting impact and modern applications of absurdist principles, including their influence on modern media.

    ‘The finest book ever written about England and the English’ Stuart Maconie 
    ‘J. B. Priestley is one of our literary icons of the 20th Century and it is time that we all became re-acquainted with his genius.’ Dame Judi Dench 
    Three years before George Orwell made his expedition to the far and frozen North in The Road to Wigan Pier, celebrated writer and broadcaster JB Priestley cast his net wider, in a book subtitled ‘a Rambling but Truthful Account of What One Man Saw and Heard and Felt and Thought During a Journey Through England During the Autumn of the Year 1933.’ Appearing first in 1934, it was a huge and immediate success. Today, it still stands as a timeless classic: warm-hearted, intensely patriotic and profound. 
    An account of his journey through England – from Southampton to the Black Country, to the North East and Newcastle, to Norwich and home – English Journey is funny and tender. But it is also a forensic reading of a changing England and a call to arms as passionate as anything in Orwell’s bleak masterpiece. Moreover, it both captured and catalysed the public mood of its time. In capturing and describing an English landscape and people hitherto unseen, writing scathingly about vested interests and underlining the dignity of working people, Priestley influenced the thinking and attitudes of an entire generation and helped formulate a public consensus for change that led to the birth of the welfare state. 
    Prophetic and as relevant today as it was nearly ninety years ago, English Journey is an elegant and readable love letter to a country Priestley finds unfathomable. 
    Priestley's English Journey is a special exploration of Britain, a top choice for those who appreciate travelogues and social history. His essays are a testament to his deep affection for his homeland, marking this book as one of the best in non-fiction. 
    For fans of Rory Stewart (The Marches), Maggie O'Farrell (I Am, I Am, I Am), and Marion Turner (The Wife of Bath).

    When crisis strikes, do our moral codes stand firm—or crumble beneath the weight of survival? In this riveting exploration, A.A. Castor reveals how the COVID-19 pandemic tested our deepest values, transforming bustling communities in the Philippines and beyond into crucibles of ethical tension. From the haunting stories of betrayal and greed to awe-inspiring acts of heroism and solidarity, Castor uncovers the hidden forces that shape our decisions when everything we hold dear hangs in the balance.

    Why I Am Writing This Book is not just a chronicle of crisis; it's a clarion call to examine our own moral resilience. Castor challenges you to reflect on what happens when the lines between right and wrong blur, urging readers to forge a future where ethical fortitude endures—even in the darkest moments.
