Title :
L'avventurieroAuthor: Behn Aphra; Scarlini L. (cur.) Publisher: Cue Press Esiliati in una Napoli spagnolesca, chiassosa e libertina, un gruppo di cavalieri inglesi sostenitori di Carlo I cerca l'amore o anche solo un'avventura, tra le strade della città pronta a festeggiare il carnevale: tra frodi, amori capricciosi di vere e finte prostitute e duelli per restituire risibili onori perduti, L'avventuriero, composto nel 1677, è la più celebre tra le opere teatrali di Aphra Behn e rappresenta una magnifica macchina barocca di illusioni e di taglienti battute, in cui il carnevale è occasione determinante per cambiare ruoli, maschere, personaggi. € 22,99

Title :
La monacaAuthor: Behn Aphra; Setaioli A. (cur.) Publisher: Lorenzo de Medici Press Per la prima volta tradotto in italiano, il romanzo breve La monaca rientra nella tematica più genuina di Aphra Behn: la polemica contro la repressione del desiderio femminile, vuoi con i matrimoni combinati, vuoi, come qui, con il voto monacale. La storia ne mostra i disastrosi effetti: la giovane Isabella, che avrebbe potuto vivere felice nel mondo, avrà prima l'anima dolorosamente lacerata, poi fuggirà dal convento rubandone i beni, e infine verrà spinta al delitto. The History of the Nun, uscì nell'anno della morte di Aphra, il 1689. Durante la sua vita Aphra Behn aveva destato scandalo, sia per la rappresentazione letteraria del desiderio femminile sia per la sua libertà di vita. Ebbe amanti di entrambi i sessi ed ebbe in particolare una relazione con l'avvocato John Hoyle, notoriamente bisessuale. Dopo secoli di discredito, negli ultimi decenni l'opera di Aphra Behn è stata ampiamente rivalutata, soprattutto da scrittrici e critiche femministe. Un vero elogio le fu tributato da Vita Sackville-West con il volume Aphra Behn - The Incomparable Astrea (1927). Virginia Woolf, in A Room of One's Own (1929) inserisce un'intera sezione dedicata a lei. € 14,00

Title :
Oroonoko. Nobile schiavoAuthor: Behn Aphra Publisher: Rogas La tormentata storia d'amore fra il principe Oroonoko, nipote di un sovrano africano, e Imoinda, figlia di un valoroso condottiero. La giovane, che l'anziano tiranno vorrebbe sua sposa, si ribella insieme all'amato. I due nobili giovani saranno costretti alla lontananza, per poi riabbracciarsi, ormai schiavi, nella colonia inglese del Suriname. Mediante il codice della tragedia eroica, l'opera affronta le complessità ideologiche legate al colonialismo, proponendo una visione combattuta tra condanna e legittimazione della schiavitù.

Title :
OroonokoAuthor: Behn Aphra Publisher: Melville House Pub The bestselling story by a legendary female writer--a tale of love, slavery, and rebellion. When Prince Oroonoko's passion for the virtuous Imoinda arouses the jealousy of his grandfather, the lovers are cast into slavery and transported from Africa to the colony of Surinam. Oroonoko's noble bearing soon wins the respect of his English captors, but his struggle for freedom brings about his destruction. One of the most influential English novels in history, Aphra Behn's Oroonoko was the first book to express sympathy for African slaves. Based partly on Behn's childhood in Suriname, Oroonoko depicts the love of Prince Oroonoko, the grandson of an African king, for Imoinda, the daughter of the king's top general. She refuses to leave Oroonoko to become the king's wife, and dies in his arms. Renowned for the respect and tenderness Behn gave each of her characters, this is the best-remembered work by the author. € 10,70

Title :
The RoverAuthor: Behn Aphra, Bolam Robyn (EDT) Publisher: Bloomsbury Methuen Drama Carnival time in The Rover is a period when prohibitions are temporarily removed, privileges and rank suspended, and women - from convent girls to courtesans - take the initiative. Featuring multiple plot lines, which deal with the adventures of a group of love-struck Englishmen in Naples, Aphra Behn's play explores issues of love, trickery and deception, forced marriage, male power, fidelity, and the excesses of sexual passion. Hers is a male-dominated society, but one with a clear-sighted portrayal of the female predicament. The play is widely taught on A Level courses as well as on undergraduate literature and women's writing courses. This new edition contains a completely new introduction, and takes into account important criticism from the past decade, as well as a new understanding of the nature of theatre in Behn's time, and the significance of her contribution to English drama. € 12,00

Title :
OroonokoAuthor: Behn Aphra, Todd Janet M. (EDT), Todd Janet M. (INT), Todd Janet M. Publisher: Penguin Classics When Prince Oroonoko's passion for the virtuous Imoinda arouses the jealousy of his grandfather, the lovers are cast into slavery and transported from Africa to the colony of Surinam. Oroonoko's noble bearing soon wins the respect of his English captors, but his struggle for freedom brings about his destruction. Inspired by Aphra Behn's visit to Surinam, Oroonoko reflects the author's romantic view of native peoples as in 'the first state of innocence, before man knew how to sin'. The novel also reveals Behn's ambiguous attitude to African slavery - while she favoured it as a means to strengthen England's rule, her powerful and moving work conveys its injustice and brutality. This new edition of Oroonoko is based on the first printed version of 1688, and includes a chronology, further reading and notes. In her introduction, Janet Todd examines Aphra Behn's views of slavery, colonization and politics, and her position as a professional woman writer in Restoration. € 11,75

Title :
Sir Patient Fancy. Testo inglese a fronteAuthor: Behn Aphra; Graziano A. (cur.) Publisher: Sette Città Nel 1678, alla vigilia della congiura papista che scatena in Inghilterra disordini da guerra di religione, la drammaturga Aphra Behn, nota per le simpatie realiste, inaugura la sua stagione di teatro politico. 'Sir Patient Fancy' è una farsa antipuritana che è anche un gustoso esemplare di adattamento della commedia di carattere à la Molière (in questo caso 'Il malato immaginario') al contesto culturale e linguistico del teatro della Restaurazione. Questa edizione cerca di avvicinarne lo spirito al pubblico italiano, curando l'ampliamento dell'enciclopedia del lettore attraverso una riflessione sui problemi di interpretazione e di resa inerenti alla traduzione interlinguistica di un testo del Seicento. € 16,00

Title :
The Rover or the Banished CavaliersAuthor: Behn Aphra, Russell Anne (EDT) Publisher: Broadview Pr Increasingly Aphra Behn—the first woman professional writer—is also regarded as one of the most important writers of the 17th century. The Rover, her most famous and most accomplished play, is in many ways firmly in the tradition of Restoration drama; Willmore, the title character, is a rake and a libertine, and the comedy feeds on sexual innuendo, intrigue and wit. But the laughter that the play insights has a biting edge to it and the sexual intrigue an unsettling depth. As Anne Russell points out in her introduction to this edition, there are three options for women in the society represented in The Rover: marriage, the convent, or prostitution. In this marriage economy the witty and pragmatic virgin Hellena learns how to survive, while the prostitute Angellica Bianca can retain her autonomy only so long as she remains free from romantic love. It seems that in this world women can only be free by the anonymity of disguise—yet the mask is also the mark of the prostitute. And, paradoxically, disguise is the device that in many ways drives the plot towards marriage. Enormously popular through the eighteenth century, The Rover is now once again widely performed. Filled with the play of ideas, it is one of the most amusing, entertaining—and unsettling—of comedies. € 14,50

Title :
Oroonoko schiavo di sangue reale-Oroonoko or the royal slaveAuthor: Behn Aphra Publisher: Einaudi Attraverso l'idealizzazione settecentesca del 'buon selvaggio', il primo romanzo moderno e la prima opera di denuncia dello schiavismo e del razzismo. Con testo originale a fronte e un ricco apparato di note. La storia narra la tragica avventura di un giovane principe africano che con l'inganno viene catturato e trasportato nel Suriname, allora colonia inglese, e del suo amore per la bella Imoinda. L'opera si distacca nettamente dalla tradizione del romanzo sei-settecentesco, che non aveva mai prima di allora affrontato simili temi, e crea un precedente che dal punto di vista ideologico proietta il lettore in una dimensione futura. € 11,36

Oroonoko, the Rover and Other WorksAuthor: Behn Aphra, Todd Janet (EDT) Publisher: Penguin Classics 'We are bought and sold like apes or monkeys, to be the sport of women, fools, and cowards, and the support of rogues' When Prince Oroonoko's passion for the virtuous Imoinda arouses the jealousy of his grandfather, the lovers are cast into slavery and transported from Africa to the colony of Surinam. Oroonoko's noble bearing soon wins the respect of his English captors, but his struggle for freedom brings about his destruction. Inspired by Aphra Behn's visit to Surinam, Oroonoko (1688) reflects the author's romantic view of Native Americans as simple, superior peoples 'in the first state of innocence, before men knew how to sin'. The novel also reveals Behn's ambiguous attitude to African slavery – while she favoured it as a means to strengthen England's power, her powerful and moving work conveys its injustice and brutality. This new edition of Oroonoko is based on the first printed edition of 1688, and includes a chronology, bibliography and notes. In her introduction, Janet Todd examines Aphra Behn's views of slavery, colonization and politics, and her position as a professional woman writer in the Restoration. € 13,40
