Book Excerpt: 
. . .Judge as He.
But man with frailty is allay'd by birth;
Consummate purity ne'er dwelt on earth:
[16] Thro' all the soul tho' virtue holds the rein,
Beats at the heart, and springs in ev'ry vein:
Yet ever from the clearest source have ran
Some gross allay, some tincture of the man.
But who is he——deep-musing——in his mind,
He seems to weigh, in reason's scales, mankind;
Fix'd contemplation holds his steady eyes——
I know the sage[3]; the wisest of the wise.
Blest with all man could wish, or prince obtain,
Yet his great heart pronounc'd those blessings vain.
And lo! bright glitt'ring in his sacred hands,
In miniature the glorious temple stands.
Effulgent frame! stupendous to behold!
Gold the strong valves, the roof of burnish'd gold.
The wand'ring ark, in that bright dome enshrin'd,
Spreads the strong light, eternal, unconfin'd!

"Po niekoľkých reprízach Moliére našiel doma list. Akýsi Neuf-Villenaine mu napísal, že keď videl jeho Domnelého paroháča, tak veľmi sa mu tá komédia zapáčila, že vidieť ju len raz nestačilo, bol na nej šesťkrát. Takýto začiatok listu vyvolal na Moliérovej tvári rumenec spokojnosti. V poslednom čase

The weakest part of many biographies is the opening. After all, Shakespeare and Lincoln were not actually distinguished by their birth -- or even the first few years of their lives. But you know that this book will be different when it opens with Bulgakov addressing Moliere's midwife, across three c

I must confess that I read this only because of my ongoing obsession with Mikhail Bulgakov and my curiosity as to why he felt such a kinship with fellow playwright Molière that he would write a book and a play about him, too. But I’m glad I read it, for its skillful immersion of the reader in the Fr

Ένας συγγραφέας που γράφει για τη ζωή ενός άλλου συγγραφέα. Μια υπέροχη μυθιστορηματική βιογραφία του Μολιέρου που διαβάζεται σαν παραμύθι με πολλές και ενδιαφέρουσες πληροφορίες για το βίο και την πολιτεία του μεγάλου θεατρικού συγγραφέα, αλλά και γενικότερα για τη ζωή των ηθοποιών στη Γαλλία του 1

un text simpatic, fara forta scriiturii magnifice a lui bulgakov, ci mai degraba un omagiu adus marelui dramaturg.
romanul este aproape o dare de seama, cronologie impletita cu fictiune, un docu-roman, care lumineaza viata lui moliere.

3 e mezzo.
Di solito, per approcciarsi all'autore, si incomincia con Cuore di Cane oppure con Il Maestro e Margherita, ma purtroppo questa non è stata una mia scelta. Da poco ho scoperto la passione per le biografie (sì, mi piace farmi gli affari degli altri). Bulgakov ci presenta la vita di Jean-Bap
