Şamdancı

Rate this book
Alfred de Musset (1810-1857): 19.yüzyıl Fransız edebiyatının en önemli isimlerindendir. 1829 yılında yayımlanan Contes d'Espagne et d'Italie isimli şiir kitabıyla üne kavuştu. Victor Hugo, Charles Nodier gibi Romantik yazarların çevresinin müdavimi oldu. Temmuz Monarşisi döneminde Fransız İçişleri Bakanlığı'nın kütüphanesinde kütüphanecilik yaptı, 1845 yılında Légion d'honneur'e layık görüldü. 1852 yılında Académie française'e üye olarak seçildi. Alfred de Musset şiirin yanında roman, öykü ve oyun türünde çok sayıda eser verdi. İlk oyunu La Nuit vénitienne (1830) sahnede başarısız olunca oyunlarının sahnelenmesine 1847 yılına dek izin vermedi. 1848 yılında ilk kez sahnelenen Şamdancı, yazarın diğer oyunlarına kıyasla çok daha geleneksel bir yapıya, öte yandan kusursuz bir zaman ve mekân bütünlüğüne sahiptir. Oyun tan ağarırken başlar, akşam sona erer ve oyun boyunca evin her önemli köşesini ziyaret ederiz. Komedinin lirizmle buluştuğu bu muhteşem oyun, Alfred de Musset'nin şiirindeki eşsiz duyarlılığı anımsatmakla kalmaz, aynı zamanda şairin kendi yaşamından da izler taşır.

Alfred Louis Charles de Musset-Pathay (11 December 1810 – 2 May 1857) was a French dramatist, poet, and novelist. Along with his poetry, he is known for writing La Confession d'un enfant du siècle (The Confession of a Child of the Century, autobiographical) from 1836.
Musset was born on 11 December 1810 in Paris. His family was upper-class but poor and his father worked in various key government positions, but never gave his son any money. His mother was similarly accomplished, and her role as a society hostess, - for example her drawing-room parties, luncheons, and dinners, held in the Musset residence - left a lasting impression on young Alfred.
Early indications of Musset's boyhood talents were seen by his fondness for acting impromptu mini-plays based upon episodes from old romance stories he had read. Years later, elder brother Paul de Musset would preserve these, and many other details, for posterity, in a biography on his famous younger brother.
Alfred de Musset entered the collège Henri IV at the age of nine, where in 1827 he won the Latin essay prize in the Concours général. With the help of Paul Foucher, Victor Hugo's brother-in-law, he began to attend, at the age of 17, the Cénacle, the literary salon of Charles Nodier at the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal. After attempts at careers in medicine (which he gave up owing to a distaste for dissections), law, drawing, English and piano, he became one of the first Romantic writers, with his first collection of poems, Contes d'Espagne et d'Italie (1829, Tales of Spain and Italy). By the time he reached the age of 20, his rising literary fame was already accompanied by a sulphurous reputation fed by his dandy side.
He was the librarian of the French Ministry of the Interior under the July Monarchy. During this time he also involved himself in polemics during the Rhine crisis of 1840, caused by the French prime minister Adolphe Thiers, who as Minister of the Interior had been Musset's superior. Thiers had demanded that France should own the left bank of the Rhine (described as France's "natural boundary"), as it had under Napoleon, despite the territory's German population. These demands were rejected by German songs and poems, including Nikolaus Becker's Rheinlied, which contained the verse: "Sie sollen ihn nicht haben, den freien, deutschen Rhein ..." (They shall not have it, the free, German Rhine). Musset answered to this with a poem of his own: "Nous l'avons eu, votre Rhin allemand" (We've had it, your German Rhine).
The tale of his celebrated love affair with George Sand, which lasted from 1833 to 1835, is told from his point of view in his autobiographical novel, La Confession d'un Enfant du Siècle (The Confession of a Child of the Century, made into a film, Children of the Century), and from her point of view in her Elle et lui. Musset's Nuits (1835–1837, Nights) trace his emotional upheaval of his love for George Sand, from early despair to final resignation. He is also believed to be the author of Gamiani, or Two Nights of Excess (1833), a lesbian erotic novel, also believed to be modeled on George Sand.

Tomb of Alfred de Musset in Père Lachaise Cemetery
Musset was dismissed from his post as librarian by the new minister Ledru-Rollin after the revolution of 1848. He was however appointed librarian of the Ministry of Public Instruction in 1853.
Musset received the Légion d'honneur on 24 April 1845, at the same time as Balzac, and was elected to the Académie française in 1852 (after two failures to do so in 1848 and 1850).
Alfred de Musset died in his sleep on 2 May 1857. The cause was heart failure, the combination of alcoholism and a longstanding aortic insufficiency. One symptom that had been noticed by his brother was a bobbing of the head as a result of the amplification of the pulse; this was later called de Musset's sign. He was buried in Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.

Okumaya başlarken hiç bu kadar güzel bir tiyatro eseri okuyacağımı düşünmemiştim. Çok şaşırdım işin aslı. Eski zaman Avrupasına ait bir sıkıcı hikaye diye düşünmüştüm. Fakat hiç öyle değilmiş. Başlamamla bitirmem bir oldu desem hiç yalan olmaz.
Şamdancı kelimesinin argoda olan anlamını bilmeyerek başladım. Şamdancı bir kimsenin hayatından bir kesit tahmin ediyordum. Fakat kitap beni bir kez daha ters köşeye attı. Sizi de atsın diyerek kitap ile ilgili hiç bir bilgi vermiyorum.
İyi okumalar.

Kitap için değerlendirmem: 2/5 🙇‍♀️

Aşk ve gençlik şairi olarak tanınan Alfred De Musset'ın kaleminden çıkmış olan Şamdancı'yı ne yazık ki ben sevmedim.Piyes okumaya yeni yeni başlamış birisi olarak bu kitapta daha duygulu,daha içten bir oyun bekliyordum. Güzel olmaya güzeldi, dili de gayet kolay. 1 saatte çok rahat bitirebilirsiniz.
Ben daha farklı ve daha anlamlı bir şey beklediğim sanırsam bu kitabı sevemedim. Umarım siz seversiniz. İyi okumalar dilerim 📖

Bildiğimiz aldatma hikayesine müthiş şairane bir o kadar da edebi bir yorum. Şimdi tiyatro da oynasa izlerdim keyifle ama bu nefis çeviri de sinematografik anlatım da gözlerimde bir tiyatro oyunu gibi okurken canlandı.

Jacqueline sevgilisiyle gorusurken görülmüş evli bir kadındır. Esinin onu uyandırıp odasina kimi aldigini sormasiyla baslayan hikaye, kurulan tuzaklar ve samimi hislerle evrilerek oldulca ilginc bir hale donusuyor.

Kendini akilli bulanlarin aldatildigi, aldatilmis bulanlarin sevildigi ve yanlis yaptiklarina inananlarin dogru olduklarini anlamadığı ilginc bir hikaye olan. Sonuna ayrica bayildigimi soylemeden geçemeyeceğim.
