Un tramvai numit Dorință. Trandafirul tatuat. Noaptea iguanei

Rate this book
Cu un stil unic în care lirismul, violenţa şi simţul subtil al umorului se completează perfect, Tennessee Williams a revoluţionat teatrul modern, spulberând convenţiile şi devenind unul dintre cei mai influenţi dramaturgi americani. Temele lui preferate – alienarea, singurătatea, iubirea, sexualitatea – se regăsesc în fiecare dintre cele trei piese reunite în acest volum, într-o mărturie sinceră şi convingătoare asupra rezistenţei umane în faţa suferinţei. Personajele ies din zona de confort artificial în care se refugiaseră şi se văd nevoite să-şi înfrunte temerile şi slăbiciunile, pornind pe o cale ce poate duce oriunde, de la nebunie la dragoste. - See more at: http://www.editura-art.ro/carte/un-tr...

Thomas Lanier Williams III, better known by the nickname Tennessee Williams, was a major American playwright of the twentieth century who received many of the top theatrical awards for his work. He moved to New Orleans in 1939 and changed his name to "Tennessee," the state of his father's birth.

Raised in St. Louis, Missouri, after years of obscurity, at age 33 he became famous with the success of The Glass Menagerie (1944) in New York City. This play closely reflected his own unhappy family background. It was the first of a string of successes, including A Streetcar Named Desire (1947), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), Sweet Bird of Youth (1959), and The Night of the Iguana (1961). With his later work, he attempted a new style that did not appeal to audiences. His drama A Streetcar Named Desire is often numbered on short lists of the finest American plays of the 20th century, alongside Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman.

Much of Williams' most acclaimed work has been adapted for the cinema. He also wrote short stories, poetry, essays and a volume of memoirs. In 1979, four years before his death, Williams was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame.

Tennessee Williams este un virtuoz al durerii, al suferintei si singuratatii umane fundamentale. Fiecare piesa e o capodopera.

În fiecare dintre cele trei piese personajul principal feminin suferă un dezechilibru psihic mai evident (Un tramvai numit dorinţă, Trandafirul tatuat) sau mai discret şi mai nuanţat (Noaptea iguanei). Remarcabilă empatia pe care o dovedeşte autorul faţă de aceste personaje, într-o perioadă în care atitudinile misogine treceau drept normalitate.

“I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic! I try to give that to people. I misrepresent things to them. I don't tell the truth, I tell what ought to be the truth. And it that's sinful, then let me be damned for it!”

“I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.”

“Oh, you can't describe someone you're in love with!”

“Everybody is nothing until you love them.”

“Youth must be wanton, youth must be quick,
Dance to the candle while lasteth the wick,

Youth must be foolish and mirthful and blind,
Gaze not before and glance not behind,

Mark not the shadow that darkens the way-
Regret not the glitter of any lost day,

But laugh with no reason except the red wine,
For youth must be youthful and foolish and blind!”

Intr-adevar: un mix ideal de poezie si drama, de vis si durere. Tennessee Williams a scris filigranat aceste piese (evident, pe langa Tramvai..., mai ales Noaptea iguanei). 4,6/5
