A View from the Bridge de Arthur Miller

A View from the Bridge: Penguin Plays

Autor Arthur Miller
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 1977 – vârsta de la 18 ani

Prezentul volum este un manual din seria Student Editions, conceput special pentru învățământul superior, care oferă textul integral al piesei A View from the Bridge într-un format critic riguros. Suntem de părere că această ediție de la Methuen Drama se distinge prin aparatul critic semnat de Julie Vatain-Corfdir, care plasează tragedia lui Eddie Carbone într-un context academic modern. Premisa piesei rămâne una de o actualitate frapantă: un docher din Brooklyn care, orbit de o pasiune necuvenită pentru nepoata sa, ajunge să trădeze codurile culturale ale comunității sale de imigranți italieni.

Structura volumului este una progresivă, începând cu o cronologie detaliată și continuând cu secțiuni despre contextul istoric și social, esențiale pentru înțelegerea tensiunilor dintre legea naturală și cea scrisă menționate de Arthur Miller. Un element de noutate absolută este secțiunea „Behind the scenes”, care include un interviu cu regizorul Ivo van Hove despre montarea sa revoluționară de la Young Vic, oferind astfel o perspectivă practică asupra piesei ca spectacol, nu doar ca text literar.

Cititorii familiarizați cu Oxford Playscripts: A View from the Bridge vor aprecia în acest volum abordarea mult mai tehnică și orientată către dezbaterea academică, spre deosebire de activitățile de clasă propuse de ediția Oxford. Dacă Arthur Miller Plays 1 oferă o privire de ansamblu asupra operei sale timpurii, ediția de față permite o analiză de tip monografic, ideală pentru seminarele de dramaturgie americană. Notele explicative și bibliografia pentru studiu suplimentar fac din acest volum un instrument de lucru indispensabil pentru studenții la filologie sau arte spectacolului.

De ce să citești această carte

Această ediție este esențială pentru studenții la litere sau teatru care doresc să analizeze mecanismele tragediei moderne. Dincolo de textul lui Arthur Miller, cititorul câștigă acces la analize academice de ultimă oră și la viziunea regizorală a lui Ivo van Hove. Este resursa perfectă pentru a înțelege cum teme precum trădarea și onoarea funcționează într-un cadru social specific, susținută de un aparat critic de înaltă ținută.

Despre autor

Arthur Miller (1915-2005) a fost unul dintre cei mai importanți dramaturgi americani ai secolului XX, laureat al Premiului Pulitzer. Opera sa, care include titluri de referință precum „Moartea unui comis-voiajor” sau „Vrăjitoarele din Salem”, este marcată de o explorare profundă a responsabilității individuale și a impactului presiunii sociale asupra moralității. Editorul acestui volum, Julie Vatain-Corfdir, este lector la Universitatea Sorbona din Paris, fiind specialistă în teatru de limbă engleză și traduceri teatrale, ceea ce aduce o perspectivă europeană avizată asupra textului lui Miller.

Descriere scurtă

America's greatest playwright weaves "a vivid, crackling, idiomatic psychosexual horror tale." —Frank Rich, The New York Times In A View from the Bridge Arthur Miller explores the intersection between one man's self-delusion and the brutal trajectory of fate. Eddie Carbone is a Brooklyn longshoreman, a hard-working man whose life has been soothingly predictable. He hasn't counted on the arrival of two of his wife's relatives, illegal immigrants from Italy; nor has he recognized his true feelings for his beautiful niece, Catherine. And in due course, what Eddie doesn't know—about her, about life, about his own heart—will have devastating consequences.
"The play has moments of intense power. . . . Miller plays on the audience with the skill of a master." —Clive Barnes, New York Post

Recenzii

'The uniform structure and consistent approach eveident in these [first] four volumes make them readable and accessible to students and scholars alike and guarantee that these editions will certainly persist as invaluable tools for those who both enjoy Miller as a dramatist and study him as a significant social and American spokesperson.'
'The fascination of A View from the Bridge lies in its terrific psycho-dramatics and psycho-dynamics, its cult of the theatre of embarrassment.'
'A fine play, in which Miller shows us that an emotionally inarticulate longshoreman can be a tragic hero.'
'What lifts this play from being melodrama...is the ancient form of tragedy, the relentless twisting of the rope, the reduction of options, the closing of doors, the receeding of hope until the release of the final catharsis. And Miller's language, which is flexible and sinewy enough to shine through the slackest jaw... This is one of the handful of great American dramas. It is a brilliant and majestic play.'
'This is one of the great plays. The title alone has a strange magic. Its poise, its banality, its suggestiveness.'
'In A View from the Bridge, [Miller] created one of the greatest roles in modern theatre, Eddie Carbone, a rough but decent Brooklyn longshoreman who betrays his principles because of the almost incestuous love he feels for his orphaned niece.'
'...the sheer grip of this great drama on audiences shows how successful Miller was, both in honouring a certain time and place in American history, and in transcending it, to create a tragedy of almost unlimited weight and resonance.'

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
The law is nature. The law is only a word for what has a right to happen. When the law is wrong it's because it's unnatural, but in this case it is natural and a river will drown you if you buck it now. Let her go. And bless her.

Set among Italian-Americans on the Brooklyn waterfront, A View from the Bridge is the story of longshoreman Eddie Carbone. When his wife's cousins arrive as illegal immigrants from Italy, he is honoured to take them into his house. But when his niece begins to fall in love with one of them, Eddie grows increasingly suspicious, eventually precipitating his violation of the moral and cultural codes of his community and leading to the play's tragic finale.

With its examination of the themes of sexuality, responsibility, betrayal and vengeance, A View from the Bridge is Miller at his best and a modern classic.

This new edition includes an introduction by Julie Vatain-Corfdir that explores the play's production history as well as the dramatic, thematic, and academic debates that surround it; a must-have resource for any student exploring A View from the Bridge.
