Ben Jonson Poradie kníh (chronologicky)
Benjamin Jonson bol anglický renesančný dramatik, básnik a herec. Súčasník Williama Shakespeara, je najlepšie známy svojimi satirickými hrami, najmä dielami Volpone, The Alchemist a Bartholomew Fair, ktoré sú považované za jeho najlepšie, a svojimi lyrickými básňami. Jonson, muž s rozsiahlym vzdelaním a zdanlivo nenasytnou chuťou k polemikám, mal bezkonkurenčný vplyv na jakobínskych a karolínskych dramatikov a básnikov.

Much-studied and frequently performed, these comedies by the great Elizabethan playwright Ben Jonson satirize the greed, mendacity, gullibility, and pretension of seventeenth-century London society. Both plays abound in colorful characters, ingenious plotting, biting wit, and sharp insight into human nature.In Volpone (1605), a crafty rich man attempts to augment his wealth by feigning a mortal illness. His wealthy neighbors, spying the opportunity for an inheritance, vie with each other in courting the “dying” man’s favor. The Alchemist (1610) comprises a likewise avaricious cast, headed by a butler and prostitute who join forces with a swindler claiming to possess the philosopher's stone. The trio hosts a parade of eager victims whose hypocrisy and greed place them on a moral footing similar to that of the tricksters. Both plays offer sparkling examples of their author's novel approach to satire and his distinctive blend of savagery, humor, moralism, and a powerful sense of the absurd.
A quintesstential selection of the dramatic work of Ben Jonson, this edition features the plays Poetaster, Sejanus, The Devil is an Ass, and New Inn. Jonson's work is renowned for its wit and biting religions and social commentary these four plays are no exception. The plays featured in this edition have been freshly edited from the earliest printed texts. The introduction focuses on the interaction between poet and state authority, and the need for new productions of these rarely performed classics from our dramatic heritage.

Il dottor Sottile, l'alchimista
- 98 stránok

Uno dei capolavori assoluti di Jonson e del teatro comico di tutti i tempi, L'Alchimista è nota come la commedia dell'intreccio più perfetto che mai sia stato escogitato. Siamo nell'Inghilterra del seicento, la peste è alle porte, chi può scappa, Londra è nelle mani dei servi, dei delinquenti. Tra questi il noto Facciatosta incaricato dal suo padrone di controllare la casa durante la sua fuga, approfitta dello smarrimento generale e stringendo un patto con un suo pari, il famoso Dottor Sottile, "alchimista-mago-truffatore in grande stile" e della sua degna comare Dora attirano nella casa abbandonata uomini e donne di ogni rango e di ogni età, ingannandoli con oroscopi e carte astrali, profetizzando fortune, vincite al gioco e amori senza fine. Fonti di questa commedia sono il Poenolus e la Mostellaria di Plauto. Ciò che questa regia tende maggiormente a sottolineare è la capacità a delinquere di alcuni personaggi e la masochistica predisposizione ad essere raggirati di altri. Non sarà difficile ad una platea moderna riconoscere, pur se in abiti e in un contesto secentesco alcuni ciarlatani con i quali quotidianamente ci si imbatte sugli schermi televisivi e sulle pagine dei giornali. Infine l'Alchimista presenta una incredibile serie di personaggi a partire da Facciatosta spietata figura di truffatore fino al Dott. Sottile, personalità dalle mille sfumature, di forte presa sul pubblico tanto da entrare nel linguaggio comune.
