În pădurile Siberiei by Sylvain Tesson RO
FranceDescription:
Am înţeles la un moment dat că, de unul singur, nu voi putea schimba lumea. Aşa că nu mi-a rămas decât să mă duc undeva departe de lume, să trăiesc singur, într-o cabană. În pădurile Siberiei. Am cumpărat o izbă de lemn, pe tărâmurile nimănui, la marginea lacului Baikal. Acolo, la cinci zile de mers pe jos de prima aşezare umană, înconjurat de natura sălbatică, am încercat timp de şase luni să descopăr fericirea.
Şi cred că am reuşit. Doi câini, o vatră, nişte vreascuri de foc şi o fereastră de la care puteam privi lacul – nici n-aveam nev... continue

După primul şoc şi cea dintâi nedumerire a cititorului, chiar şi a unui erudit academician, poate după un număr de ani în care uimirea se va fi aşezat, deodată cineva va pricepe şi va ridica această carte – a Aniţei cu trei clase primare şi suflet cât o istorie naţională, de o autenticitate «stilistică» genială – şi le va aşeza, fiinţa şi cartea, la umăr... continue

A preparação do ator by Constantin Stanislavski PT
Description:
Coube a Stanislavski a importante tarefa de sistematizar os conhecimentosintuitivos dos grandes atores do passado e de explicação ao ator contemporâneo como agir no momento da criação ou da realização. O seu sistema não é uma continuação das ideias expostas nos velhos manuais. É antes uma quebra da tradicional maneira de ensinar. O trabalho do ator, segundo o sistema de Stanislavski, não equivale a um estilo de representação. É, como qualquer técnica, um meio e não uma finalidade. É o próprio Stanislavski quem diz: "Ele (seu sistema) só tem utilidade quando se transforma numa segunda natureza ... continue
