Sinopse

Ferenc Molnár's "Liliom: A Legend in Seven Scenes and a Prologue" is a theatrical masterpiece that intricately weaves elements of realism and fantasy into a poignant narrative. Set in the vibrant landscape of Budapest, the play explores the life of Liliom, a flawed yet charismatic carousel barker whose tumultuous relationships and fateful decisions reveal the tragic beauty of the human condition. With sharp dialogue and a rich symbolic framework, Molnár crafts a tale that transcends its setting, delving into universal themes of love, sacrifice, and redemption, all while maintaining a distinctively lyrical and evocative literary style that captivates audiences and readers alike. The dramatic structure, divided into concise scenes, encapsulates a whirlwind of emotions, compelling the audience to reflect on the nature of dreams versus reality. Ferenc Molnár (1878-1952) was a Hungarian playwright and novelist, renowned for his contributions to early 20th-century theatre. His experiences in Budapest's bustling social landscape and his exploration of the complexities of human relationships significantly influenced his writing. Deeply embedded in the socio-political milieu of his time, Molnár sought to challenge societal norms and expectations, which is vividly illustrated in "Liliom." Having fled Hungary due to political unrest, he also imbued the play with a sense of longing and nostalgia that resonates throughout the narrative. For readers and theatre enthusiasts alike, "Liliom" is an essential exploration of human emotion and existential questioning. Molnár's masterful crafting of character arcs and his poignant commentary on love and personal struggle make this play not only a critical piece of Hungarian literature but a timeless work that speaks to the heart of humanity's quest for meaning. This poignant legend is sure to remain a lasting influence on those who encounter it, inviting reflection and deeper understanding.

    To My Most Dearly Beloved Friend...

    Michael Drayton

    Michael Drayton was born in 1563 at Hartshill, near Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England. The facts of his early life remain unknown.  Drayton first published, in 1590, a volume of spiritual poems; The Harmony of the Church.  Ironically the Archbishop of Canterbury seized almost the entire edition and had it destroyed.  In 1593 he published Idea: The Shepherd's Garland, 9 pastorals celebrating his own love-sorrows under the poetic name of Rowland. This was later expanded to a 64 sonnet cycle.  With the publication of The Legend of Piers Gaveston, Matilda and Mortimeriados, later enlarged and re-published, in 1603, under the title of The Barons' Wars. His career began to gather interest and attention.  In 1596, The Legend of Robert, Duke of Normandy, another historical poem was published, followed in 1597 by England's Heroical Epistles, a series of historical studies, in imitation of those of Ovid. Written in the heroic couplet, they contain some of his finest writing.  Like other poets of his era, Drayton wrote for the theatre; but unlike Shakespeare, Jonson, or Samuel Daniel, he invested little of his art in the genre. Between 1597 and 1602, Drayton was a member of the stable of playwrights who worked for Philip Henslowe. Henslowe's Diary links Drayton's name with 23 plays from that period, and, for all but one unfinished work, in collaboration with others such as Thomas Dekker, Anthony Munday, and Henry Chettle. Only one play has survived; Part 1 of Sir John Oldcastle, which Drayton wrote with Munday, Robert Wilson, and Richard Hathwaye but little of Drayton can be seen in its pages.  By this time, as a poet, Drayton was well received and admired at the Court of Elizabeth 1st. If he hoped to continue that admiration with the accession of James 1st he thought wrong.  In 1603, he addressed a poem of compliment to James I, but it was ridiculed, and his services rudely rejected.  In 1605 Drayton reprinted his most important works; the historical poems and the Idea. Also published was a fantastic satire called The Man in the Moon and, for the for the first time the famous Ballad of Agincourt.  Since 1598 he had worked on Poly-Olbion, a work to celebrate all the points of topographical or antiquarian interest in Great Britain. Eighteen books in total, the first were published in 1614 and the last in 1622.  In 1627 he published another of his miscellaneous volumes.  In it Drayton printed The Battle of Agincourt (an historical poem but not to be confused with his ballad on the same subject), The Miseries of Queen Margaret, and the acclaimed Nimphidia, the Court of Faery, as well as several other important pieces.  Drayton last published in 1630 with The Muses' Elizium.  Michael Drayton died in London on December 23rd, 1631.  He was buried in Westminster Abbey, in Poets' Corner.  A monument was placed there with memorial lines attributed to Ben Jonson.

    Random Experiments in Bioluminescence is a remarkable collection of luminous poems for cherishing cultures, languages, and the Earth — From poet and urbanist Dr. Amy Shimshon-Santo.“Listen with your natural body,” writes Shimshon-Santo. “In the beginning, there was song.” This collection tracks a woman’s search for language and belonging. Choral, cryptographic, and exhilarating, Shimshon-Santo provides glimpses into a poetics of  planetary livability.The collection opens with a “genealogy of the moment” in “x or x prime clock time.” Trees and vines “tangle their hair together” to escape over brick walls. A piano decomposes into forest mulch. Seaweed fronds curl around pilings. Gravity “plants humans in the ground like oaks” while black birds murmurate skyward. Echolocate in the galaxy through poems, and become a “rapture gawker of infinity consciousness.”Mother tongues join a line dance of translations with family and friends. A trilingual villanelle for òrìṣà cohabitates with talmudic inspired piyyut. Poems morph into flow charts, pictograms, haikus, and chants — scattered between photographs of habitats.Her verse has kinesthetic momentum on the page—flowing from right to left or left to right, ascending or descending, to weave conversations between languages. The outcome of Random Experiments in Bioluminescence is a homecoming to the body and the planet; respect for multiple languages and awe for life in our pluriverse.

    The wedding.  The legal and public union of two people. 
     
    A very simple concept and one we all, at one time or another, have thought about. 
     
    In life that’s the easy part.   
     
    The difficult part is the ceremony, not for the dewy-eyed couple, family and friends but for those who are now called to stand and offer words of tribute, of jest and of satisfaction with the couple, on their past lives and future happiness.   
     
    Even the most socially hardened are certain nerves will fray and know the importance of confidence and delivery at this unique moment.  Expectations are high and a badly punch-lined joke or story has the glaring eyes of the room upon you.  
     
    In this volume our classic and well-loved poets take the work out of words and offer up lines and verse of unrivalled beauty, telling knowledge and the comfort of love.  Elizabeth Barrett Browning, W B Yeats, Rainer Maria Rilke, Khalil Gibran are but a handful of the poets who will speak for you and on behalf of us all.
