Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Argument of the Play of Fedora: Drama in Four Acts Alas! the first literary battle of this courageous soldier was to end in disorder. The conqueror began with defeat. La Taverne des Etudiants, a comedy in three acts of verse, was, in spite of its amusing qualities, its originality and its many fine lines, a non-success, a failure, a fiasco (we may as well say the word) of the most pronounced description; piteous baptism of fire, which retarded for several years the blossoming of the ardent hopes of the indomitable wrestler. In this plight poor Sardou, shattered but still in a fever of ambitious expectancy, was forced to stand aside and see himself passed by for the successes of that year, 1854, which remained a never to be forgotten year for him. It was then that Sardou, having entered into partnership with Paul Feval, a novelist of the gloomy order, who, in spite of many efforts had, up to that period, obtained no success in the theatre suddenly signed Le Bossu, one of the sword and cloak school of drama, and certainly one of the most charming and the best contrived since the days of Dumas pere. Sardou, when young, had the profile of Bonaparte, as he has now that of Erasmus - having made allowances for the period, he threw into the fire all the used up tricks, worn out phrases, old fashioned platitudes, and in each new work he extended his method. It was then they had Sardou in his early style; airy, amusing, ironical, as in the Pattes de mouche, the Femmes fortes, Nos Intimes and La Famille Benoitou, in the Vieux Garcons and Maison Neuve, exquisite productions, wherein one feels that the author has been the first to take delight in them. Later on he wrote Seraphine and Fernande, both of which are pieces of the first order of merit. One day, one of the brightest which has shed lustre upon Sardou´s glory, he turned his attention to the drama of Patrie, and again to La Haine, a tragedy-act at once superior, elevated and, in every way, wonderful. In both these powerful dramas Sardou has stirred up the noblest passions and the purest sentiments. They equal the efforts of the oldest matters as much by their lofty aims as by their style and conception. Then came the war, that terrible war of 1870. The revolution, which followed in its train, furnished Sardou with one of his most thrilling inspirations, Rabagas, a magnificent picture and a cruel satire; a political comedy, wherein the state of the minds, manners, hopes and follies at the moment are faithfully set forth. Patrie, La Haine, Rabagas, Theodora and Fedora are the culminating points of Sardou´s prodigious talent. Do you wish to laugh? There is l´Ecureuil, an indescribable fantaisie; there is Le Magot, a topsy-turvy folie, irresistibly contagious; there is Les Gens Nerveux; there is Les Ganuches; and there is Divorcons, a bouffonerie, containing one of the most bitterly philosophical comedies of the day.
