![]() » 6 mehr Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. ![]() ![]() A genuinely funny Elizabethan comedy, Volpone takes a cynical look at people trying to become the sole heirs of the rich, childless, Volpone who appears to be on his deathbed. Volpone is, however, only pretending to be dying in order to laugh at the efforts to win his favor. I read this prior to attending a performance, in German, of Volpone at Munich's Volkstheater. The German version was written by Stefan Zweig but was not a real translation of the original by Ben Johnson. Apparently Zweig had wanted to translate the work while on vacation in France but realized when he arrived that he had not brought a copy with him. So, he created the German version from memory and ended up creating a new work. For those that read German, the Zweig version is very much recommended. This Revels Student Edition, with a carefully modernized text, presents new material about "Volpone" 's debt to the popular Reynard beast epic and Italian "commedia dell 'art" and discusses its mockery of greed in relation to two Renaissance perversions of the myth of a Golden Age. Referring to famous productions, it pays particular attention to decisions that must be made whenever the play is performed. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
