        Volpone, or The Fox

        Ben Johnson

        by David Bevington, Brian Parker, Richard Dutton, Alison Findlay, Helen Ostovich

        This is the most thoroughly investigated edition of Volpone to date, based on a wider collation of the 1607 quarto and 1616 folio versions than was previously possible. It calls into question several accepted textual conclusions. The introduction sets Volpone in the context of Jonson's career at the time of writing and introduces new material on its relation to the Reynard beast epic and the commedia dell' arte. Ambiguities in the play are discussed with reference to two Renaissance perversions of the myth of the Golden Age. Particular attention is paid to the rhythmic effects of the play in performance, especially interweavings of the main plot and subplot. Fresh suggestions are made about the play's opening and its controversial conclusion in the light of experiments that have been made in performance since Volpone 's stage revival in 1921. The modernized text is accompanied by full commentary, notes and illustrations. The appendices include a discussion by John Cutts of the original music, passages translated from the original sources and analogues, and a full record of the play's modern stage history, its many adaptations, and its transformations into opera, musical comedy, film and television. ;

        Die geheimen Waffen

        Erzählungen. Aus dem Spanischen von Rudolf Wittkopf

        by Julio Cortázar, Rudolf Wittkopf

        In diesem Band finden sich die fünf längsten Erzählungen des Autors, darunter die Meisternovelle »Der Verfolger«. Cortázar gibt eine manchmal dramatische, manchmal poetische und manchmal ironische Vision des modernen Menschen. Er zeigt beunruhigende Ambiguitäten auf: Konflikte und Extremsituationen geraten zum Spiegel menschlicher Bedingtheiten. Regelmäßig eintreffende »Briefe von Mama« werden ebenso zu einer Zwangsvorstellung wie die immer weiter ins Detail vorstoßenden Vergrößerungen eines Negativs in »Teufelsgeifer«, sei es, um ein Geschehen zu vergessen oder zu rekonstruieren. In »Die guten Dienste« begegnet Madame Francinet auf einer Party einem rätselhaft schönen jungen Mann. Wochen danach wird sie gebeten, bei der Beerdigung eines Modeschöpfers die Rolle der Mutter des Verstorbenen zu übernehmen. Als sie in dem Toten den jungen Partygast wiedererkennt, wird sie von Kummer überwältigt. »Der Verfolger« ist die Hommage Cortázars an den Jazzmusiker Charlie Parker und zugleich eine leidenschaftliche, halluzinatorische Analyse des künstlerischen Schaffens. Das Geheimnis der »Geheimen Waffen« soll dem Leser hier noch nicht verraten werden.
