Unresponsive to offers to save the estate, she allows its sale to the son of a former serf the family leaves to the sound of the cherry orchard being cut down. The play revolves around an aristocratic Russian landowner who returns to her family estate (which includes a large and well-known cherry orchard) just before it is auctioned to pay the mortgage. It is often identified as one of the three or four outstanding plays by Chekhov, along with The Seagull, Three Sisters, and Uncle Vanya. Since its first production, directors have contended with its dual nature. Chekhov described the play as a comedy, with some elements of farce, though Stanislavski treated it as a tragedy. It opened at the Moscow Art Theatre on 17 January 1904 in a production directed by Konstantin Stanislavski. Written in 1903, it was first published by Znaniye (Book Two, 1904), and came out as a separate edition later that year in Saint Petersburg, via A.F. The Cherry Orchard ( Russian: Вишнёвый сад, romanized: Vishnyovyi sad) is the last play by Russian playwright Anton Chekhov. Scene from Act 3 of the original Moscow Art Theatre production

Albert Sidney Fleischman (born Avron Zalmon Fleischman Ma– March 17, 2010) was an American author of children's books, screenplays, novels for adults, and nonfiction books about stage magic. As you’d expect, it’s another sentimental love story which, in typical Sparks style, centers on an inanimate object and the special significance it plays in bringing together two star-crossed lovers. Now joining the heartstring-pulling ranks of A Walk to Remember and Nights in Rodanthe is an adaptation of Sparks’s 2008 novel The Lucky One, directed by Scott Hicks and starring Zac Efron, Blythe Danner, and promising newcomer Taylor Schilling. Though each of the films may be more mawkish than the last, they’re still famous for their ability to transform the the most cynical cinema-goer into a blubbering wreck-as anyone who’s seen The Notebook on a long-haul flight can attest. Of the seventeen best-sellers he’s written since 1996, six have been adapted into sweeping romantic dramas. Author Nicholas Sparks is like the Stephen King of commercial modern romance novelists. They are all trying to make it, or just trying to get by, and what a mess that creates, but it’s a mess her stories embrace wholeheartedly. These 22 stories show her startling range and unwavering devotion to remaining open, refusing to judge any of her characters, whether delinquent, conniving, or alcoholic. It is a small, but worthwhile, consolation that Berlin has found a readership 10 years after her death - an imperfect and bittersweet success, not unlike many of the pieces in this latest collection. That her work went unheralded during her lifetime has numerous likely reasons: sexism, no novels (a grave sin in some publishing circles), alcoholism, and a career with smaller presses. Considered together, the two collections leave little doubt she is one of the greatest American short story writers of the 20th century. IT IS HARD to read Lucia Berlin’s Evening in Paradise: More Stories, which is every bit as generous and perceptive as A Manual for Cleaning Women, and not feel some sense of frustration or exasperation at the fact that Berlin was not more widely read during her lifetime.

The people of the settlement are part of a fundamentalist religious order which maintains that men and women must abide by their traditional roles and wear gender-appropriate clothing in order to please God and earn his blessings. Outpost takes quite a different and welcome turn, with most of the story taking place above-ground at the settlement named “Salvation.” Deuce, Fade, Stalker and Tegan are now each living with a different family in Salvation. I’m someone who avoids zombie stories at all costs, but that first book was so engrossing and by the end I started to suspect that these creatures weren’t truly zombies in the traditional sense. I was on the fence about reading this book because Enclave was a pretty intense story about humans living in small groups underground, while being pursued by these zombie-like people called freaks who kill and eat the humans. This review may contain spoilers for the first book, but not for Outpost. Outpost continues the story which began in the book Enclave, of a teenage girl named Deuce who lives in a post-apocalyptic world. |
