Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf of Books originally published in 1909 is a 50 volume anthology of classic works from world literature. This anthology originated from a challenge made by P. F. Collier to Dr. Eliot based on speeches he made stating that a good liberal education could be had by reading 15 minutes a day from a collection of books that could fit on a five foot shelf. Collier challenged him to make good on this statement by selecting such a collection of works--the Harvard Classics were the result. This volume imcludes "Life is a Dream" by Pedro Calderond la Barca; "Polyeucte" by Pierre Corneille; "Phaeda" by Jean Baptiste Racine; "Tartuffe or The Hypocrite" by Jean Baptiste Poquelin Moliere; "Minna von Barnhelm or The Soldier's Fortune" by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing; and "William Tell" by Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller. 489 pages. 8.6 x 5.7 inches.

‎Canterbury - Erzählungen. Manesse Bibiliothek der Weltliteratur. Aus dem Englischen von Detlef Droese‎

‎München, Manesse 1971 Copyright. 565 Seiten, 16cm Leinen 0‎

‎Zustand: blauer OLeineneinband mit goldener Titelprägung und Blinddruckvignette, Farbkopfschnitt, Lesebändchen und Schutzumschlag (Rücken gebräunt, mit Beschädigungen, u.a. an der vorderen Rückenkante mittig). Besitzvermerk --- Inhalt: Illustrationen nach alten Vorlagen von Otto Kaul. - Von der höfischen Romanze bis zum derb-komischen Schwank reicht das Spektrum der originellen Geschichten, die sich die Pilger unterwegs nach Canterbury zum Grab des heiligen Thomas Becket erzählen. Durch sie wurde Chaucer für die Engländer, was Dante für die Italiener war: der Dichter, der seinem Volk eine einheitliche Schriftsprache gab und es dadurch geistig in den Rang einer Nation erhob. Neunundzwanzig Pilger, auf dem Weg nach Canterbury zum Grab des heiligen Thomas Becket, erzählen einander zum Zeitvertreib Geschichten. Der Prolog stellt die Reisegefährten vor: jeder einzelne ein typischer Vertreter seines Standes oder Berufs. Vom Ritter bis zum Müller, vom Rechtsgelehrten bis zum Ablasshändler, von der Priorin bis zur lebenslustigen, fünffachen Witwe aus Bath fügen sich die oftmals beißend satirischen Porträts zu einer einzigartigen zeitgenössischen Galerie. In ihren Geschichten lösen sich ? der jeweiligen Lebenswelt des Erzählers angemessen ? ritterliches Heldengedicht und Sage, Märchen und Legende, Fabel und deftiger Schwank in bunter Folge ab. Die Entstehungszeit der «Canterbury Tales» umfasst rund zwei Jahrzehnte, von etwa 1380 bis zu Chaucers Tod im Jahr 1400. Vielfältige Überlieferungen laufen hier zusammen und verbinden sich zu der menschlichen Komödie einer neuen Epoche. Der vorwiegend in Versen verfasste Erzählzyklus wurde von Detlef Droese in eine stilgenaue Prosa übertragen. WU2-2dub ISBN: 3717510762‎

‎Middle Of The Night: A Comedy In Three Acts‎

‎Samuel French Inc. New York: 1985. Softcover. Good condition. Billed as "a love story" Middle of the Night is the tale of a widower aged 53who falls in love with a blonde aged 24. Mr. Chayefsky has written it in a minor key deliberately holding down the emotion and layingemphasis on the homeliness of the material Everyone is intentionally average - the manufacturer and his daughter and sister; the blonde and her mother sister and impulsive husband. The reactions to a love affair between a middle-aged man and a girl who is younger than his daughter are average and the dialogue is composed of average talk. Toward his material Mr. Chayefsky has a kind of O. Henry sense of familiarity. Apparently it is part of his design to underwrite the plot. ISBN: 0573612331.

‎Five Plays‎

‎Stanford University Press Stanford: 2010. Softcover. Brand new book. Anton Pavlovich Chekhov 1860-1904 overturned the dramatic conventions of his day and laid the groundwork for contemporary approaches to directing and acting. Now for the first time the full lyricism humor and pathos of his greatest plays are available to an English-speaking audience. Marina Brodskaya's new translations of Ivanov The Seagull Uncle Vanya Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard not only surpass in accuracy all previous translations but also provide the first complete English text of the plays restoring passages entirely omitted by her predecessors. This much-needed volume renders Chekhov in language that will move readers and theater audiences alike making accessible his wordplay unstated implications and innovations. His characters' vulnerabilities needs and neuroses�their humanity�emerge through their genuine self-absorbed conversations. The plays come to life as never before and will surprise readers with their vivacity originality and relevance.Translated into English from the Russian by Marina Brodskaya.

‎26 Postcards of Scenes From the Moscow Art Theatre Production of The Cherry Orchard‎

‎Moscow: A.A. Gorozhankin and K.A. Fisher 1911-12. <br /><br />Twenty-six postcards each 5 1/2 x 3 3/8 inches 138 x 84 mm featuring black-and-white photos of scenes from Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard and text descriptions in Russian. <br /><br />The Cherry Orchard opened at the Moscow Art Theatre on January 17 1904 in a production directed by Konstantin Stanislavsky just six months before the death of Chekhov. In the play a family is forced to sell their estate at auction to pay their debts. The buyer Lopakhin plans to cut down the family's beloved cherry orchard so he can build cottages on the estate. <br /><br />These postcards feature cast members from early productions: Olga Knipper as Madame Ranevskaya the estate owner Maria Lilina as Anya her daughter Margarita Savitskaya as Varya foster daughter Stanislavsky himself as Gaev Ranevskaya's brother Leonid Leonidov as Lopakhin Vladimir Gribunin as Simeonov-Pishchik a landowner Elena Muratova as Charoltta Ivanovna a governess Alexander Artyom as Firs an elderly valet Vasily Kachalov as Trofimov a student and Ivan Moskvin as Yephikhov a bookkeeper. <br /><br />Olga Knipper was the wife of Chekhov Maria Lilina was the wife of Stanislavsky and Ivan Moskvin became director of the Moscow Art Theatre in 1943. All three were among the 39 original members of the troupe when Stanislavsky founded it in 1898 with Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko. <br /><br />Chekhov conceived The Cherry Orchard as a comedy but Stanislavsky turned it into a tragedy angering Chekhov. "My play opened yesterday so my mood is none too good" Chekhov wrote in a letter to author and dramatist Ivan Leontyev known as Shcheglov quoted in Laurence Senelick Anton Chekhov's Selected Plays. New York: W.W. Norton 2005 page 456. And in late March 1904 writing from Yalta Chekhov declared in a letter to his wife Olga Knipper the star of the play: "One thing I can say: Stanislavsky has butchered the play for me." Senelick page 457. <br /><br />While Chekhov may not have liked the play the public certainly did. Indeed in a note on the verso of one card an anonymous writer says translating: "we have just got back from the Art Theatre where we saw The Cherry Orchard. There are no words to tell how wonderful it was." The note appears on a card showing Stanislavsky and his wife Maria Lilina. <br /><br />A.A. Gorozhankin published two of the cards in 1911. The famous Moscow photographer Karl Fisher issued all the others. Two of them not identified as the Moscow Art Theatre production are dated 1912. <br /><br />A fascinating set of postcards depicting scenes from one of the theatre world's most acclaimed plays. <br /><br />CONDITION: Inscription in ink to the verso of one card stains or soiling to many cards lower corner of one card of Olga Knipper damaged with slight loss of text; old bookseller's stamp to the verso of half a dozen cards; all a bit rubbed or edge-worn. About Good overall. <br /><br /> A.A. Gorozhankin and K.A. Fisher books‎
