The Anguished and the Enchanted
Author: Matthew H. Bowker
Publisher: punctum books
ISBN: 1953035558
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
"In The Anguished and the Enchanted, M.H. Bowker offers a lengthy critical essay and richly annotated English translation of a lost Finnish translation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince. Featuring a substantial Translator's Preface, M.H. Bowker develops a psychoanalytic lens through which to regard Saint-Exupéry's classic work, offering a more nuanced and less ""fable-esque"" text than any translation and interpretation to date. On Bowker's reading, dark and primitive unconscious forces -- including neglect and abuse at home, the hatred of maturation and development, the projection of feelings of worthlessness onto others, the creation of an absurd and futile world, and more -- infest the story, not unlike the Baobab trees dreaded by the little prince. Those already familiar with The Little Prince will find in The Anguished and the Enchanted a new way of regarding what has perhaps become a favorite or even a beloved book. Those unfamiliar with the original work will discover a sometimes tragic, sometimes sympathetic, sometimes harrowing account of the lengths to which persons will go in their struggle to find -- or to escape from -- meaningful places for themselves in the world of adults."

Between Stage and Screen
Author: Egil Törnqvist
Publisher: Amsterdam University Press
ISBN: 9789053561713
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Ingmar Bergman (1918), by now responsible for about a hundred stage performances, forty radio productions, fifty feature films and fifteen TV productions, has for more than half a century combined an impressive versatility with a very marked individual signature. None of the many books on Bergman has so far attempted to compare Bergman's stage and screen activities - despite the fact that he has been an outstanding and very productive director in both areas and despite his own statement that 'the distance between the theater and the film studio has always been a short one'.
