Описание: 'There is something interesting and intriguing to be found on almost every page' Guardian 'A father . . .
is a necessary evil.' Stephen Dedalus in Ulysses____________________________________In Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know Colm Toibin turns his incisive gaze to three of Ireland's greatest writers, Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats and James Joyce, and their earliest influences: their fathers. From Wilde's doctor father, a brilliant statistician and amateur archaeologist, who was taken to court by an obsessed lover in a strange premonition of what would happen to his son; to Yeats' father, an impoverished artist and brilliant letter-writer who could never finish apainting; to John Stanislus Joyce, a singer, drinker and story-teller, a man unwilling to provide for his large family, whom his son James memorialised in his work.
Colm Toibin illuminates not only the complex relationships between three of the greatest writers in the English language and their fathers, but also illustrates the surprising ways they surface in their work___________________________________'Toibin has a hawk-like eye for literary subtleties, and a generosity towards his subjects that is warm and unacademic.'

Описание:
Jack Worthington is an upstanding gentleman in Victorian society. He just has one secret--he tells everyone that he has a brother named Earnest, when, in reality, Earnest is his alter ego. This allows him a certain duality; he can go out and party as Earnest, but have a sterling reputation as Jack. However, he must merge the two when Jack discovers that his lover, Gwendolyn, will only marry a man named Earnest. Meanwhile, Algernon, a family friend, discovers Jack's secret and (much to Jack's dismay) becomes increasingly interested in Jack's ward, Cecily. After inviting himself to Jack's home and introducing himself as Earnest, Algernon quickly gains the attention of Cecily. Believing that he was the fictious Earnest Worthington, Cecily considered herself already to be engaged to him, as it is also her dream to be married to a man named Earnest. Chaos unravels as the men then find themselves with two matters of grave importance: Gwendolyn and Cecily can not both marry Earnest Worthington, and Jack and Algernon can not let them know that Earnest never existed in the first place.
When first released, The Importance of Being Earnest was dubbed as a "trivial comedy for serious people".

Описание: Brimming with the counter-intuitive wit with which Wilde`s name is synonymous, the play follows two young men, Algernon and Jack, as they come to grips with one another`s lies, which spiral out of control and culminate in a hauntingly brilliant scene with a cast of characters dripping with satire, a lost manuscript and an unforgettable handbag.
