'A Streetcar Named Desire shows a turbulent confrontation between traditional values in the American South - an old-world graciousness and beauty running decoratively to seed - set against the rough-edged, aggressive materialism of the new world. Through the vividly characterised figures of Southern belle Blanche Dubois, seeking refuge from physical ugliness in decayed gentility, and her brutal brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski, Tennessee Williams dramatises his sense of the South''s past as still active and often destructive in modern America. In addition to the full text of the play, this edition contains a chronology of the playwright''s life and work; an introduction giving the background to the play, a discussion of the various interpretations; notes on individual words and phrases as well as photographs from stage productions.'

Un libro carico di spunti di riflessione. Tanto dolcemente malinconico, quanto spietato.
Perfetta la parte di commento e di riassunto degli atti.
Consigliato!

5.0 out of 5 stars livre sur kindle

Sur kindle, c'est toujours bien.
Ce qui est dommage, c'est qu'il n'y a pas de numero de pages comme pour la version papier. Donc, pour quelqu'un qui travaille en littérature et qui a besoin de référencer certains passages, ce n'est pas évident.
