![]() ![]() Author: Shang-jen K'ung, Shih-hsiang Chen (TRN), Acton Harold (TRN), Birch Cyril (TRN), Zeitlin Judith T. (INT) Publisher: New York Review of Books Written in 1699 and based on the recollections of survivors, The Peach Blossom Fan is a grand historical play about the last days of the Ming dynasty as it fell to the invading Manchus. With compelling vividness, K’ung re-creates confrontations between loyalists and those who sell out to the newest master; nostalgic scenes of dalliance in riverside pavilions; desperate stands on battlements; and rituals of commemoration for the lost empire. Here are gallant generals and sycophantic ministers, court musicians and singing girls, and the love of a talented scholar and a beautiful courtesan. Immensely popular in its own time, The Peach Blossom Fan continues to be performed and has been adapted into films, operas, and modern theater pieces. This lively translation has been out of print for almost four decades. € 16,10

![]() ![]() Author: Acton Harold Publisher: Passigli Nato e vissuto a Firenze in una delle ultime grandi ville patrizie, Sir Harold Acton (1904-1994) è stato uno dei più versatili scrittori inglesi contemporanei. Membro influente del così detto 'Oxford Group', che riunì alcuni dei più noti narratori inglesi, fu poeta, romanziere, storico d'arte, saggista. Ma Acton fu anche testimone e protagonista della Firenze cosmopolita prediletta dagli anglosassoni, nella quale, nell'arco di qualche decennio, vissero personaggi del calibro di Henry James, Edith Wharton, Vernon Lee, D.H. Lawrence, Aldous Huxley, Isadora Duncan, Bernard Berenson e molti altri. Ma, al di là di queste celebrità, la numerosa colonia anglosassone fiorentina era composta anche da personaggi più anonimi, molto spesso assai bizzarri, come rivelano questi racconti: appassionati collezionisti d'arte, eccentriche dame, romantiche signore del bel mondo, rampolli di grandi famiglie oramai decadute, aristocratiche bisbetiche, tutti personaggi - come scrive Harold Acton nella corposa prefazione - 'il cui aroma individuale era innegabile, farcito di stravaganza e astrazioni'. € 17,50
Scontato: € 16,63

![]() ![]() Author: Chaney Edward (EDT), Acton Harold (INT) Publisher: Interlink Pub Group Inc The focus of the anthology is entertainment and broad information about buildings and phenomena most likely to interest the discriminating tourist. Many of the 195 pieces, mostly excerpts from longer works, are by well known writers, but obscure travel accounts are also included that are no less vivid and complement mere facts. Annotation c.
