Product Description
Originally a stage monologue premiered in Italy in 1998, "Francis, The Holy Jester" is a thought-provoking and politically charged book with many parallels for contemporary society and politics. At its simplest level, it is a comedy in which the humble yet wily Francis uses the power of words to oppose the authorities, but on re-reading, the novella emerges as a little masterpiece. The story is made up of five sections. In the first part, Francis addresses the people of Bologna, to begin with appealing to their warlike pride then cunningly twisting things round, sending them running to sign for peace with their enemies. In the second, he's seen going against his class to join rampaging townsfolk as they oust the elite and tear down their towers. In the third, he talks a wolf into making peace with people...and later realises who the real animals are. In the fourth, Francis tells a story from the Gospel at a wedding, meets the Pope, preaches to pigs and birds, and finally manages to reach humans. And in the final part, he is ill and fading, and chooses to die in the little ragged church he so loves.Dario Fo draws on his own artistic sources and the Commedia dell'Arte tradition he so admires to produce a portrait of St Francis which is at once modern, challenging and memorable. The novella has been translated by Fo's long-term collaborator, Mario Pirovano, who will perform in the world premier of the English language version in 2009. ... Read more

Extrait : Dario Fo (né le 24 mars 1926 à Sangiano, près de Varèse, en Lombardie, Italie) est un écrivain italien, dramaturge, metteur en scène et acteur, ce qui en fait un « homme de théâtre complet. » Connu pour ses engagements politiques, Dario Fo est l'un des dramaturges italiens les plus représentés dans le monde avec Goldoni. Dario Fo a une admiration sans bornes pour un dramaturge vénitien du siècle, Angelo Beolco, dit Ruzzante, qu'il considère comme son « plus grand maître avec Molière. » Dans le discours pour la réception du prix Nobel de littérature qu'il prononça à Stockholm en 1997, il rendit un hommage appuyé à « un extraordinaire homme de théâtre de ma t...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Excerpt: Sabrina Salerno (born Norma Sabrina Salerno, 15 March 1968, Genoa, Italy) otherwise better known in her singing career as Sabrina is an Italian singer, television hostess, model, actress, and record producer. After winning a beauty contest in her native region, Liguria, Sabrina started modeling, and in 1985 made her television debut in the Italian prime time show Premiatissima on Canale 5. The following year, her debut single "Sexy Girl" , sung in English, was released. Produced by Claudio Cecchetto, it became a Top 20 hit in her native Italy as well as in Germany. In late 1987, she released her first album, Sabrina, which was entirely sung in English. In addition to "Sexy Girl", the album included Sabrina's international top five hit "Boys (Summertime Love)", which has sold more than 1.5 million copies to date worldwide, and "Hot Girl", a top 20 hit in some European countries. Initially in the UK the BBC banned the video for "Boys" until it was edited.
