Historical Dictionary of Chinese Theater
There is a sense of timelessness in the Chinese theater: ever since its maturation, its format has not changed in any significant way. Chinese Theater matured into its final format in the 13th century and flourished during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties. It is a unique, exclusive, and self-sufficient system, whose evolution has received little influence from the West and whose influence on Western theaters has been minimal and often misinterpreted. It is essentially a performer's theater; the actors attract the audience with splendid performances perfected through many years of rigorous training. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Chinese Theater contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1,500 cross-referenced entries on performers, directors, producers, designers, actors, theaters, dynasties, and emperors. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Chinese theater.
Un inafferrabile momento di felicità. Eros e sopravvivenza in Isaac B. Singer
Soltanto il racconto delle passioni umane non risulta noioso, scrive Isaac Bashevis Singer, a interessarlo, sono le infinite variazioni e tensioni proprie dei rapporti tra i sessi, l’abisso delle superfici carnali, l’idea che l’eros sia l’unica fiamma di candela nel buio della sopravvivenza. Eros in forma di caos, storie e vite di esuli la cui esistenza si contorce in un mal di vivere che trova pace solo nel vitalismo amoroso, eroi rotolati a New York e sopravvissuti alla Shoah che hanno perso tutto e a cui resta soltanto la vitalità del desiderio. Perché per questi profughi, in definitiva, l’eros diventa il solo lenimento possibile al dolore di vivere. Bulimia erotica, pulsioni ...

The Chinese Filmography
From A to Z, Abandon Superstitions (1958; Po Chu Mi Xing in Chinese) to Zuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru (1984; Zuo Wen Jun Ahe Si Ma Xiang Ru), this comprehensive reference work provides filmographic data on 2,444 Chinese features released since the formation of the People's Republic of China. The films reflect the shifting dynamics of the Chinese film industry, from sweeping epics to unabashedly political docudramas, although straight documentaries are excluded from the current work. The entries include the title in English, the Chinese title (in Pinyin romanization with each syllable noted separately for clarity), year of release, studio, technical information (e.g., black and white or color, letterboxed or widescreen), length, technical credits, literary source (when applicable), cast, plot summary, and awards won.
