Autor Paola Capriolo Traducere de Liz Heron
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 feb 1997
Based on Puccini's opera, Floria Tosca reinterprets for today's times the relationship between Scarpia, chief of police, and Tosca, singer and lover of Cavaradossi, the radical, whom Scarpia plans to arrest and torture. In elegant, precise writing, Paola Capriolo takes us to a world where love and hatred, piety and devilry, abstinence and desire come together.

Recenzii

Capriolo's forte is the exquisite philosophical game played with corrosive scepticism
Elegant, cunning and cruel, Floria Tosca will appeal to any opera lover who finds the virtuous heroes of the form crashing bores compared with their godless counterparts
The mechanics and pleasures of the meeting between sadist and masochist have rarely been so elegantly handled as in the story of Tosca...Paola Capriolo has given a new, nasty, elaborately mannered and highly entertaining twist to the classic tale of fatal attraction of policeman for diva. I suggest you put on the Callas recording, pour yourself a drink, turn the lights down, read, and surrender
