Beschreibung

Gotthold Ephraim Lessing's "Minna von Barnhelm" stands as a significant contribution to the emergence of German drama in the 18th century, intertwining themes of love, loyalty, and the complexities of human emotions against the backdrop of the Seven Years' War. Lessing employs a blend of comedy and serious reflection, utilizing rich dialogue to explore the interplay between social class and personal integrity. The characters are vividly drawn, embodying the contradictions of their time, particularly the societal expectations faced by women, showcased through the titular character, Minna, who challenges norms with her spirited independence and intelligence. Lessing, often hailed as a pioneer of modern drama, drew from his background in Enlightenment thought, advocating for reason and humanity amidst the chaos of war and societal strife. His engagement with the philosophical currents of his time, including Rationalism and Humanism, fueled his desire to portray authentic human experiences. "Minna von Barnhelm" reflects his deep commitment to questioning moral values and the importance of personal honor, undoubtedly influenced by his own encounters with the tumult of 18th-century German society. This play is highly recommended for readers interested in an exploration of character-driven narratives that resonate with timeless issues of societal constraint and individual agency. Lessing's deft blend of humor and pathos not only entertains but encourages reflection on the nature of relationships and moral choices, making "Minna von Barnhelm" a pivotal work for both literary scholars and general readers alike.

"Listeners are privy to Olivarez framing each poem with rays of insight, to interspersed live recordings and selections recorded only for the audio....Olivarez gifts listeners gems of healing in this poetic affirmation of community and love." - Booklist"A portion of the audiobook is performed in front of a live audience, which is such a smart choice for a collection of poetry. The audience’s reactions lend a sense of community you can only get from a live reading, and Olivarez feeds off this energy."- BookPage"José Olivarez's narration of his poetry collection offers listeners a connection with his love circle."- AudioFile"Seemingly tailor-made for audio, this powerful book is a must-purchase. Olivarez’s invitation to share moments of his history, culture, love, and joy is wholly affecting."- Library Journal This program is read by the author, featuring elements of the live event recording, with commentary from the author about why he wrote the poems.A groundbreaking collection of poems addressing how every kind of love—self, brotherly, romantic, familial, cultural—is birthed, shaped, and complicated by the invisible forces of gender, capitalism, religion, migration, and so on.Love is at the heart of everything we do, and yet it is often mishandled, misrepresented, or narrowly defined. In the words of José Olivarez: “How many bad lovers have gotten poems? How many crushes? No disrespect to romantic love—but what about our friends? Those homies who show up when the romance ends to help you heal your heart. Those homies who are there all along—cheering for us and reminding us that love is abundant.” Written in English and combined with a Spanish translation by poet David Ruano, “Promises of Gold explores many forms of love and how “a promise made isn’t always a promise kept,” as Olivarez grapples with the contradictions of the American Dream laying bare the ways in which “love is complicated by forces larger than our hearts.”He writes, “For those of us who are hyphenated Americans, where do we belong? Promises of Gold attempts to reckon with colonial legacy and the reality of what those promises have borne out for Mexican descendants. I wrote this audiobook to imagine and document an ongoing practice of healing—healing that requires me to show up for myself, my community, my friends, my family, and my loves every day.”Whether listeners enter this collection in English or Spanish, these extraordinary poems are sure to become beloved for their illuminations of life—and love.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.
