La scelta di Julie (eLit)

Autore: Cara Connelly

Numero di pagine: 109

Julie è una agente immobiliare decisamente particolare, infatti la sua specialità è trovare la casa dei sogni alle coppie che la consultano, quindi, quando si presenta alla sua porta un single, è decisa a rifiutare l'incarico, soprattutto quando scopre che Cody è un dottore del pronto soccorso. E lei con i dottori non vuole avere nulla a che fare! Per lui, però, è stato il classico colpo di fulmine e non ha nessuna intenzione di farsi mollare sulla porta di casa. Complice l'atmosfera natalizia e il suo accento strascicato, Cody riesce a intrufolarsi in casa di Julie, deciso a far breccia nel suo cuore.

Julie Andrews

Julie Andrews

Autore: Richard Stirling

Numero di pagine: 393

An “intelligent and engrossing” biography of the incomparable star of stage and screen, revealing the determination she brought to bear over every obstacle (Mail on Sunday). In My Fair Lady, Julie Andrews had the biggest hit on Broadway. As the title character in Mary Poppins, she won an Academy Award. And, in 1965, The Sound of Music made her the most famous woman in the world and rescued Twentieth Century Fox from bankruptcy. Three years later, the disastrous Star! almost put the studio back under, and the leading lady of both films fell as spectacularly as she had risen. Her movie career seemed to be over. Yet Julie Andrews survived, with what Moss Hart, director of My Fair Lady, called “that terrible British strength that makes you wonder why they lost India.” Victor/Victoria, directed by her second husband, Blake Edwards, reinvented her screen image—but its stage version in 1997 led to the devastating loss of her defining talent, her singing voice. Against all odds, she fought back again, with roles in The Princess Diaries, Bridgerton, and other productions. The real story of bandy-legged little Julia Wells from Walton-on-Thames is even more extraordinary; fresh...

Julie

Julie

Autore: Ida Almesù

Numero di pagine: 389

Francia, 1686. Sulle scale di rue de la Grosse Margot, nei quartieri popolari di Parigi, vengono rinvenuti i cadaveri di due guardie del re. La Reynie, il luogotenente della polizia, non ha dubbi su chi sia il colpevole: la sedicenne Julie d'Aubigny. Orecchio assoluto, ribattezzata l'Angelo della Morte, «forte come un uomo e bella come una donna», veste panni maschili ed è anche una spadaccina infallibile, perché il padre l'ha educata come un ragazzo. Cresciuta alla corte del potente Conte d'Armagnac, che ne fa prima il suo giullare e poi la sua amante, Julie si ribella agli obblighi di un matrimonio di convenienza e fugge nella notte, per vivere alla giornata con il complice Séranne. Braccata da La Reynie, perseguitata dal Conte e respinta dall'alta società - a cui pure appartiene per nascita -, Julie si imbarca in un avventuroso viaggio verso la libertà, durante il quale conoscerà i suoi due grandi amori: Madeleine, ragazza destinata al convento, e la musica lirica. Prendendo spunto dalla figura realmente esistita di Julie d'Aubigny, che a sua volta ha ispirato la saga di Lady Oscar, Ida Amlesù mette in scena un personaggio travolgente, spregiudicato e al tempo stesso...

Julie

Autore: August Strindberg

Numero di pagine: 108

In the oppressive heat of Midsummer's Eve, Julie, daughter of the lord, is drawn into a dangerous tryst with her father's butler. As the night wears on, the couple, from opposite ends of the social spectrum, dance, flirt and fight towards an explosive conclusion that will shake the existing order to its core.

The play premiered at Platform, Easterhouse, in a National Theatre of Scotland Ensemble production in September 2006.

Miss Julie

Miss Julie

Autore: Neil Labute , August Strindberg

Numero di pagine: 68

Against a glittering jazz-age backdrop, mistress of the house Julie and ambitious servant John face off in a gripping, night-long encounter. As the balance of power shifts often and dangerously—-sometimes with exquisite subtlety, sometimes stark brutality-—LaBute masterfully reinterprets Strindberg’s timeless erotic struggle between a man and a woman. This thrilling, essential Miss Julie, which had its world premiere at the Geffen Playhouse in 2013 with Lily Rabe as Julie, Logan Marshall-Green as John, and Laura Heisler as Kristine, superbly embodies both the passionate spirit of the original and the unflinching style of Neil LaBute.

A Critical Companion to Julie Taymor

Autore: Adam Barkman , Matthew Hodge , Antonio Sanna

Numero di pagine: 275

A Critical Companion to Julie Taymor is the most updated and holistic volume on the director currently published. Situating Taymor’s work within the intersections of story and spectacle, contributors to this collection examine issues of creativity, gender, sexuality, and adaptation by focusing on themes from Taymor’s oeuvre including martyrdom, musicality, fidelity, postmodern representations, feminism and queerness, identity, desire, trauma, revenge, hybridity, and obscenity. The result reveals Julie Taymor to be a globally-influenced American director who exhibits and exemplifies the authentic artistry of ingenious storytelling and deserves scholarly attention. This work will be of particular interest to scholars of film, philosophy, popular culture, gender, feminisms, and queer identities.

Julie & Julia

Julie & Julia

Autore: Julie Powell

Numero di pagine: 290

Chi non ha provato, almeno una volta nella vita, l'opprimente sensazione di essere finito in un vicolo cieco? È quel che capita a Julie, newyorchese per scelta e segretaria per sbaglio, che ha rinunciato alle velleità di attrice per via di una fastidiosa allergia alla parola "provino". Nonostante tre gatti e un marito amorevole, Julie prova qualcosa di simile a un disperante vuoto allo stomaco. Come colmarlo? La risposta non potrà che arrivare dalle pagine di un libro... di cucina. Per la precisione, un logoro ricettario degli anni Cinquanta, ritrovato per caso nella credenza di mamma: Imparare l'arte della cucina francese di Julia Child, la donna che introdusse la burrosa raffinatezza di Francia sulle tavole americane. Sedotta dal fascino della bonaria ma autorevole maestra e dalla semplicità ormai fuori moda dei suoi piatti, Julie decide di mettersi alla prova, e s'imbarca in un'impresa folle: realizzare in un anno tutte le ricette di questa monumentale bibbia del palato. Così, tra panna fin troppo montata e sventurate stragi di crostacei, la storia vera, ironica e spesso esilarante che Julie Powell ci racconta si insaporisce di noce moscata e pepe verde, incontri...

Butterfly - un romanzo di Julie O'Yang

Autore: Julie Oyang

Numero di pagine: 242

Una tormentata storia d'amore alla Romeo e Giulietta in Oriente. Un amore che non può esistere, ma che crescerà durante la guerra più devastante della storia. Ambientata sullo sfondo della Seconda Guerra Mondiale e della guerra Sino-Giapponese (1931-1945), la storia è incentrata intorno all'amore fatale tra una donna cinese sposata e un giovane soldato giapponese. Tuttavia, il racconto fantastico non è così semplice come suggerisce la trama. Siamo negli anni ‘40 del Ventesimo secolo: in un giorno d'estate, sulla riva del magico ed eterno fiume Yangtze, una donna incontra un giovane straniero e se ne innamora. Lui nasconde un segreto e non può ricambiarla; lei non se ne sarebbe innamorata se avesse saputo la ragione che lo aveva portato fin là per trovarla e quali crimini crudeli il giovane avesse commesso ... Butterfly è una fiaba moderna che esplora la passione al di là di ogni confine proibito e l'amore, messo alla prova fino al limite, fino a sfidare la morte. Provando a raccontare delicate questioni storiche e sociali, come lo Stupro di Nanchino, il romanzo si pone delle domande. Cos’è l'amore? Dov’è la salvezza in mezzo alla crudeltà del genere umano? Siamo ...

Sartre and Psychoanalysis

Sartre and Psychoanalysis

Autore: Betty Cannon

Numero di pagine: 424

Betty Cannon is the first to explore the implications of Sartrean philosophy for the Freudian psychoanalytic tradition. Drawing upon Sartre's work as well as her own experiences as a practicing therapist, she shows that Sartre was a "fellow traveler" who appreciated Freud's psychoanalytic achievements but rebelled against the determinism of his metatheory. The mind, Sartre argued, cannot be reduced to a collection of drives and structures, nor is it enslaved to its past as Freud's work suggested. Sartre advocated an existentialist psychoanalysis based on human freedom and the self's ability to reshape its own meaning and value. Through the Sartrean approach Cannon offers a resolution to the crisis in psychoanalytic metatheory created by the current emphasis on relational needs. By comparing Sartre with Freud and influential post-Freudians like Melanie Klein, Otto Kernber, Margaret Mahler, D.W. Winnicott, Heinz Kohut, Harry Stack Sullivan, and Jacques Lacan, she demonstrates why the Sartrean model transcends the limitations of traditional Freudian metatheory. In the process, she adds a new dimension to our understanding of Sartre and his place in twentieth-century philosophy.
