Descrizione libro First American Edition. A Play. Laid into this copy is the program for the play from the Alberry Theatre. "Zürich, 1917. In Tom Stoppard's Tony Award-winning comic masterpiece, obscure British diplomat Henry Carr and Dadaist Tristan Tzara are in love with Cecily and Gwendolen, but Cecily is in love with communism and someone named Jack. James Joyce stages a production of The Importance of Being Earnest, and the action gets heated when Vladimir Lenin bursts onto the scene. Soon everyone in neutral Switzerland is at war over the question, "What does it mean to be an artist and a revolutionary?" Pages browned, slightly slid. 99 pages. The program is staple bound on slick paper 5 1/4 x 8 1/2 inches, 18 pages. A very good copy in a very good jacket. The program laid in is fine. Codice articolo 15240
Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. Travesties was born out of Stoppard's noting that in 1917 three of the twentieth century's most crucial revolutionaries -- James Joyce, the Dadaist founder Tristan Tzara, and Lenin -- were all living in Zurich. Also living in Zurich at this time was a British consula official called Henry Carr, a man acquainted with Joyce through the theater and later through a lawsuit concerning a pair of trousers. Taking Carr as his core, Stoppard spins this historical coincidence into a masterful and riotously funny play, a speculative portrait of what could have been the meeting of these profoundly influential men in a germinal Europe as seen through the lucid, lurid, faulty, and wholy riveting memory of an aging Henry Carr. Condition: Very good. Dust jacket in brodart cover. Flat-signed by Stoppard. First edition, fifth printing. Signed by Author(s). Codice articolo 281BFU1001100
