Sinossi

In "The Little Violinist," Thomas Bailey Aldrich presents a poignant exploration of childhood innocence juxtaposed with the harsh realities of life. Written in lyrical prose, Aldrich weaves a narrative that captures the essence of youthful dreams through the eyes of a young musician whose talent transcends his impoverished background. The book is steeped in the literary traditions of 19th-century American realism, characterized by its attention to emotional depth and social critique, inviting readers to reflect on the intersection of art and adversity in a rapidly changing society. Aldrich, a notable figure in American literature, was deeply influenced by his own experiences growing up in a modest family and his passion for music. His diverse career as a poet, editor, and novelist provided him unique insights into the complexities of human emotion and societal constraints. This background informed Aldrich's intent to shed light on the aspirations and struggles of the underprivileged, particularly through the lens of youth in "The Little Violinist." This evocative tale is a must-read for those interested in the delicate interplay between artistry and hardship. Aldrich's masterful storytelling invites empathy and reflection, making it a timeless narrative that resonates with both young readers and adults alike.

    Tartuffe is one of Molière's most significant successes (1622-1673). Moliere is one of France's most popular playwrights. In this adaptation, David Serero brings the play to its essence for a perfect one-act performance (1 hour 20 minutes) with his Cast. 
    The Plot: Tartuffe, a sanctimonious scoundrel who professes extreme piety, is taken into the household of Orgon, a wealthy man. Under the guise of ministering to the family’s spiritual and moral needs, he almost destroys Orgon’s family. Elmire, Orgon’s wife, sees through Tartuffe’s wicked hypocrisy and exposes him. 
    The play is very educational and funny, and, though nearly 400 years old, shows that the human condition has still not changed.
