Avengers Vol. 1: World Trust4 reviews
Geoff Johns

Marvel Comics, 2003

A STANDARD HERO OUTING!
Avengers World Trust is a collection of Geoff Johns first six issues on his too brief run on the monthly title. Johns has worked miracles over at DC with his great run on Flash and his resurgence of classic characters and plots on JSA. Sadly, the most he brings to World Trust is a standard adventure. The first four issues deal with the Avengers battling a mystic enemy that is transplanting ...

Exotic Commodities: Modern Objects and Everyday Life in China
Frank Dikötter

Columbia University Press, 2007

Exotic Commodities is the first book to chart the consumption and spread of foreign goods in China from the mid-nineteenth century to the advent of communism in 1949. Richly illustrated and revealing, this volume recounts how exotic commodities were acquired and adapted in a country commonly believed to have remained "hostile toward alien things" during the industrial era. China was not immune to global trends that prized the modern goods of ...

Henry VIII (World Leaders Past and Present)1 review
Frank Dwyer

Chelsea House Publications, 1987

A young King becomes an old tyrant.
These books always give a summary view of the leader and their strengths and weaknesses. This book was no exception. Henry VIII became king at a young age. He was progressive and a free spirit. This endured him to the population. Even his break with the Catholic Church raised his popularity. However, as he changed wives and made his desires known, he became an old, fat tyrant. When he ...
  
  











  



  
The Sea Gull (Chaika : a Comedy in Four Acts)
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, Nicholas Saunders, ...

Smith & Kraus, 1994

Chekhov called The Sea Gull a comedy, and perhaps it is, if you're watching at some great Olympian distance from the cares, sorrows, hopes, and joys of human life. For mortals, however, this play stands as the incarnation of all the dreams and despair, the almost unbearable exhilaration and the truly unbearable anguish, that is the essence of youth. The Sea Gull is the sharpest, the most achingly bittersweet, of Chekhov's great ...
  
  











  



  
Zoyka's Apartment: A Tragic Farce in Three Acts (Great Translations for Actors Series)1 review
Mikhail Afanasevich Bulgakov, Frank Dwyer

Smith & Kraus, 1996

Zoyka's Apartment
As an actor, I fell completely in love with Zoyka's Apartment. Bulgakov has an amazing capacity for imagery. The characters are vivid and enthralling. His sense of comedy remains unsurpassed by the writers of today. I highly recommend this hysterically ludicrous play to any fan of Bulgakov. You may also enjoy reading anything by Kurt Vonnegut, his work runs along the same lines as Bulgakov's.
  
  











  



  
The Cherry Orchard25 reviews
Anton Chekhov, Hector Elizondo, ...

L.A. Theatre Works, 2002

Quintessentially Chekov
This, Chekov's last play, is the story of Madame Ranyevskaya's family, which lost its wealth, and an estate that included a cherry orchard. The subtext carries the story and is about how not to deal with existentialist stasis -- a state of being immobilized by the fear of change, and the complexity of the denial that under lay this fear. It is this fear and the symbolism it invokes that makes the ...

The Summer People (Great Translations for Actors Series)
Maksim Gorky, Frank Dwyer, ...

Smith & Kraus, 1996

On holiday in an idyllic forest retreat, Gorky's "summer people" ebb and flow, arguing, flirting, laughing, gossiping, complaining - until it becomes all too clear that they can't ever really get away from the frantic bustle of modern city life. Though they fish, play chess, picnic, get drunk, put on amateur theatricals, fall in love, even shoot themselves - the arguing is the main thing and it never ends. What they argue about is ...
