Paperback. Condizione: Good. In About Chinese Women Julia Kristeva combines a study of Chinese history, literature, religion and politics with her own penetrating insights. Kristeva analyzes aspects of a country in which the role of women has evolved and been transformed with startling consequences. Surveying first the place of women in the social order of the capitalist West, she moves on to examine the family in ancient China, and provides a fascinating account of the Chinese feminist movement of the early 20th century. She explores the idea that, because of its Confucian antecedents, the Chinese revolution had to take on an anti-patriarchal character - and was therefore more fundamentally 'a women's revolution' than others elsewhere, before or since.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. The Investigation is a dramatic reconstruction of the Frankfurt War Crimes trials of 1963-1965, based on the actual evidence given. Weiss was an observer at the trials and developed the play partially from the reports of Bernd Naumann. This testimony, concerning Auschwitz and the atrocities which were enacted there, was been edited and extracted by Peter Weiss into a dramatic document that relies solely and completely on the facts for its effectiveness. There is no artistic license, no manipulation of facts and figures, no rearrangement of events for theatrical effect. Nameless witnesses stand and recall their appalling memories of Auschwitz, allowing us to bear witness to their painful and painstaking search for truth and ultimately justice. What emerges is a chastening and purging documentary of deeply moving power. The play premiered simultaneously in 14 cities in East and West Germany and London on October 19, 1965.…

The play was adapted for feature films in 1972, 2007 and 2014. Sleuth has all the ingredients of a top-class thriller, which it undoubtedly is - a plot whose twists and turns are breathtakingly audacious and fiendishly cunning; suspense and excitement galore; and a brilliant parody of the Agatha Christie country-house thriller, mercilessly satirizing the genre at the same as using its technical devices to the full. It is a dramatic study of sexual conflict and jealousy between an older and a younger man; as well as a subtle psychological portrait of an inadequate and sexually-obsessed middle-aged man. The 1972 film version was directed by Joseph Mankiewicz, with Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine in the leading roles, and this edition is fully illustrated with stills from the film.…
