DescriptionIt seemed a simple enough idea at the outset: to assemble a team of 11 men to play cricket on each of the seven continents of the globe - except that's not a simple idea at all. And when you throw in incompetent airline officials, cunning Bajan drug dealers, overzealous American anti-terrorist police, idiotic Welshmen dressed as Santa Claus, and whole armies of pitch-invading penguins, you quickly arrive at a lot more than you bargained for. Harry Thompson's hilarious book tells the story of one of those great madcap enterprises that only an Englishman could have dreamed up, and only a bunch of Englishmen could possibly have wished to carry out.
DescriptionFrances Angel, drunk and disgruntled, arrives in Italy to attend the I Zingari Art School, leaving behind her dazzling career as a successful theatrical impresario and returning to a distant and painful past. She falls into an eclectic group of performance artists, ex-soldiers and a housewife who really just wants to paint something to match her settee. In the village a scale replica of the La Scala opera house becomes the setting for the great drama of Frances' past to be played out on the world's smallest stage. Frances expected to find some answers but what she didn't expect was romance and quite so much farce.
DescriptionEl contrabajo, "Los banos publicos", "La dama del perrito", "Borrachera continua", "El vengador", "El marido", "La suerte femenina". Anton Chejov, hijo de un tendero fracasado y nieto de un siervo, comenzo a escribir historias humoristicas como medio de sostenerse y continuar sus estudios medicos. En esas historias breves, ya se nota al inmenso dramaturgo naturalista, que profundizo en la psicologia de sus personajes y creo situaciones humanas, que en medio de su aparente ligereza, son de gran profundidad. Cuentos como La dama del perrito, muestran un entendimiento unico de situaciones, que presenta con aparente trivialidad pero que son dibujos maestros de una realidad.
