Krapp’s Last Tape, Not I, That Time, & A Piece of Monologue - Samuel Beckett Category: Literature, Plays & Theater Language: EnglishKeywords: Literature Theatre Shared by:ssitimefill Krapp's Last Tape, Not I, That Time, & A Piece of Monologue - Samuel Beckett Written by Samuel Beckett Read by Jim Norton, Juliet Stevenson, John Moffatt, Peter Marinker Format: MP3 Bitrate: 64 Kbps Dramatization Listening Length: 1 hour and 27 minutes These four works show Samuel Beckett at his most penetrating. Both Krapp’s Last Tape (1958) and Not I (1972) are among the most striking pieces written for the theatre in the 20th century. An old man sits at a table, playing back old tapes made when he was younger, mixed glimpses of past feelings. In Not I, we have just a mouth expressing memories and torment in a torrent of words. That Time and A Piece of Monologue are less well-known, but express the Beckettian concerns of introspection, memory, and hopelessness in different ways, yet always with sympathy for the human condition. Though written for the stage, these four monodramas are even more penetrating in the enclosed, intimate medium of the audiobook.

Each story describes a small but significant moment of crisis or revelation in the life of a particular Dubliner, sympathetically but always with stark honesty. Many of the characters are desperate to escape the confines of their humdrum lives, though those that have the opportunity to do so seem unable to take it. This book holds none of the difficulties of Joyce’s later novels, such as Ulysses, yet in its way it is just as radical. These stories introduce us to the city which fed Joyce’s entire creative output, and to many of the characters who made it such a well of literary inspiration.

War and Peace is a novel by Leo Tolstoy, published in 1869, after portions of a previous version were serialized from 1865–1867 in The Russian Messenger. It chronicles the epic story of the French invasion of Russia, of the events leading up to it and the reactions of five major aristocratic families within Russian society during the Napoleonic Era.

The Waste Land / Бесплодная земля pic Год выпуска: 2006 Автор: T.S. Eliot / Томас Стернз Элиот Исполнитель: Michael Scott Жанр: поэма Издательство: ThoughtAudio.com Язык: Английский Тип: аудиокнига Аудио кодек: MP3 Битрейт аудио: 57 кбит/сек Описание: The Waste Land is a highly influential and controversial 433-line modernist poem written by T. S. Eliot. It is perhaps the most famous and most written-about long poem of the 20th century, detailing the journey of the human soul searching for redemption, the decline of civilization and the impossibility of recovering meaning in life. Despite the alleged obscurity of the poem—its shifts between satire and prophecy, its abrupt and unannounced changes of speaker, location and time, its elegiac but intimidating summoning up of a vast and dissonant range of cultures and literatures—the poem has nonetheless become a familiar touchstone of modern literature. В 1922 г. Элиот опубликовал поэму «Бесплодная земля» («The Waste Land»), которую его друг и наставник Эзра Паунд назвал «самой длинной поэмой, когда-либо написанной на английском языке». Она представляет собой нечто вроде завещания отчаявшегося и разуверившегося во всем человека и строится как череда мысленных картин или грез, сменяющих друг друга в сознании главного персонажа (Тиресия) и пронизанных смутным желанием обрести внутренний мир. Поэма заканчивается призывом к смирению, который герой обращает к самому себе. Литературные и мифологические аллюзии укрупняют эпизоды поэмы и придают им ироничное звучание. Поэма была воспринята как приговор послевоенной европейской культуре и выражение разочарования в расхожих общественных идеалах. Доп. информация: TS ELIOT http://i9.fastpic.ru/big/2010/0814/74/2e964d84922cfde6a28c66f6c0b16574.jpg Thomas Stearns Eliot was one of the most distinguished literary figures of the 20th century, winning the 1948 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his outstanding, pioneer contribution to present-day poetry". Although born in Missouri and attending Harvard, he lived most of his life in England. Eliot, while on a three month leave in the coastal resort of Margate for a period of convalescence possibly showed an early version of the poem to Ezra Pound. A year later Eliot had produced a 19-page version of the poem and Pound then made detailed editorial comments and significant cuts to the manuscript. Eliot dedicated the poem to Pound, referring to him as "il miglior fabbro", Italian for "the better craftsman."

Confined Love Some man unworthy to be possessor Of old or new love, himself being false or weak, Thought his pain and shame would be lesser If on womankind he might his anger wreak, And thence a law did grow, One might but one man know; But are other creatures so? Are Sun, Moon, or Stars by law forbidden To smile where they list, or lend away their light? Are birds divorced, or are they chidden If they leave their mate, or lie abroad a-night? Beasts do no jointures lose Though they new lovers choose, But we are made worse than those. Who e'er rigged fair ship to lie in harbours And not to seek new lands, or not to deal withal? Or built fair houses, set trees, and arbors, Only to lock up, or else to let them fall? Good is not good unless A thousand it possess, But dost waste with greediness. John Donne

You did not come, And marching Time drew on, and wore me numb. Yet less for loss of your dear presence there Than that I thus found lacking in your make That high compassion which can overbear Reluctance for pure lovingkindness' sake Grieved I, when, as the hope-hour stroked its sum, You did not come. You love not me, And love alone can lend you loyalty; -I know and knew it. But, unto the store Of human deeds divine in all but name, Was it not worth a little hour or more To add yet this: Once you, a woman, came To soothe a time-torn man; even though it be You love not me.

Low-anchored cloud, Newfoundland air, Fountain head and source of rivers, Dew-cloth, dream drapery, And napkin spread by fays; Drifting meadow of the air, Where bloom the dasied banks and violets, And in whose fenny labyrinth The bittern booms and heron wades; Spirit of the lake and seas and rivers, Bear only purfumes and the scent Of healing herbs to just men's fields!

Los justos Un hombre que cultiva su jardín, como quería Voltaire. El que agradece que en la tierra haya música. El que descubre con placer una etimología. Dos empleados que en un café del Sur juegan un silencioso ajedrez. El ceramista que premedita un color y una forma. El tipógrafo que compone bien esta página, que tal vez no le agrada. Una mujer y un hombre que leen los tercetos finales de cierto canto. El que acaricia a un animal dormido. El que justifica o quiere justificar un mal que le han hecho. El que agradece que en la tierra haya Stevenson. El que prefiere que los otros tengan razón. Esas personas, que se ignoran, están salvando el mundo.
