  • The Adventures of Casanova As a Young Woman
    The Adventures of Casanova as a Young Woman Ailsa Kay Le texte d'Ailsa Kay s'approprie, pour les memoires d'un sujet desirant feminin, la notoriete sexuelle de l'aventurier et "tombeur de ces dames" du dix-huitieme siecle, G.J. Casanova de Seingult. Le recit retrouve Casanova sur son chemin de retour en direction de la ville apres un sejour passe au couvent apres une peine d'amour. La ville de ses souvenirs est le paysagefami­ lier du realisme mais sur la route de gravier rien n'est ce qu'il semble etre. Tout comme les lignes de la main de Casanova, il y adu "brio et de la ruse et de l'au­ dace; crise et chagrin et amour extatique aveuglant, les lignes entrecroisees vertigineuses de possibilites." Chapter 1 After leaving the convent I learn how to gamble and make a friend. Monsieur Lupin and Mademoiselle Caron eat figs. Reflections. They're smooth and hot and small. Small as peas, smooth as the skin of Henry's hot and fevered cheek that, only five months ago, I washed in cool water from a tin cup, thinking I would die of love. I pass the small hot peb­ bles from my left hand to my right and back. I shake my closed hands in front of the stranger's face, not insolently -I have no desire to be insolent - but with the calm charm required of a gambler. I cup my hands togeth­ er and breathe into them. Shake the pebbles again. A bet. Just a small bet.

  • Stokowski and Erich Wolfgang Korngold's Music
    Stokowski and Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s Music Troy O. Dixon February 2017, revised July 2018 In his essay “Julius and Erich Wolfgang Korngold: The Father and His Wunderkind,” Otto Biba, Austrian musicologist and archival director of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna, discusses correspondence between Leopold Stokowski and Julius Korngold in 1926. The famous conductor had written the elder Korngold asking, “…who he thought was the most talented young Austrian composer with a view to including a work by him in the repertoire of the Philadelphia Orchestra.”1 Biba’s essay quotes Julius’s response in which he replies to Stokowski that the question put him in an awkward position: given his son’s talent, could Stokowski honestly expect him to suggest anyone else? Biba concludes his brief examination of this correspondence with the personal observation that, “it would be interesting to find out whether Stokowski ultimately performed any works by Erich Wolfgang Korngold.” Stokowski did, in fact, conduct Korngold’s music on several occasions, but he did so beginning more than a decade before this 1926 correspondence.2 During the years around the turn of the century and up until the outbreak of World War I, conductors in America frequently traveled to Europe during the summer months for vacation and to seek out new music as novelties for audiences in the New World. The summer of 1913 was no different for Leopold Stokowski. He sailed from America on 19 April 1913 for his villa in Herzog Park, Munich for a rest and then to begin preparing the programs for the Philadelphia Orchestra’s next season.

For more information, email [email protected] First Diversion Books edition September 2018 ISBN: 978-1-63576-504-5 William Bolitho: A Memoir by Walter Lippmann When a man of Bolitho’s quality dies in his youth it is a subtle temptation to exalt him above his works. His friends who had sat with him and talked with him and apprehended the resources of his spirit must naturally find it hard not to dwell upon his promise at the expense of his achievement. They have felt how abruptly his time was limited, and it is in the nature of their affection that they should wish others to let faith in the man fill out the uncompleted record of his writings. What affection and faith authorize, a gentle vanity quite readily exploits: I could find in my own feelings when the invitation came to me to write this memoir a disguised wish to imply that no mere reader of Bolitho can appreciate his stature, and thus to claim membership in the privileged circle of those who might truly say they understood him. This temptation to make a private cult is a strong one. For Bolitho was a radiant person. In his company ordinary things were transfigured, acquiring the glamour of mystery and great import.

Bradomín and the Ironies of Evil: A Reconsideration of Sonata de primavera Abstract Of the four novels that form Valle-Inclán's tetralogy of seasonal Sonatas, the most problematical and dissonant is the springtime segment, which is the third in the order of composition. Valle-Inclán uncharacteristically subordinates seasonal esthetics in favor of a peculiarly ironic manipulation of the theme of conflict between good and vile set in an Italian context redolent of the Renaissance and rife with religious fanaticism. The ingrained theatricality of the young Marqués de Bradomín leads him to affect the pose of a "devilish" don Juan in order to break down the defenses of a young would-be nun who seems destined for sainthood.
