![]() ![]() While Argent’s translation is faithful to Racine’s text and tone, his overriding intent has been to translate a work of French literature into a work of English literature, substituting for Racine’s rhymed alexandrines (hexameters) the English mode of rhymed iambic pentameters, a verse form particularly well suited to the highly charged urgency of Racine’s drama and the coiled strength of his verse.Ĭomplementing the translation are the illuminating Discussion, intended as much to provoke discussion as to provide it, and the extensive Notes and Commentary, which clarify obscure references, explicate the occasional gnarled conceit, and offer their own fresh and thought-provoking insights.īajazet, Racine’s seventh play, first given in 1672, is based on events that had taken place in the Sultan’s palace in Istanbul a mere thirty years earlier. For this new translation, Geoffrey Alan Argent has taken a fresh approach: he has rendered these plays in rhymed “heroic” couplets. ![]() This is the second volume of a projected translation into English of all twelve of Jean Racine’s plays-only the third time such a project has been undertaken in the three hundred years since Racine’s death. ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 rankings on The New York Times' best-seller list during his lifetime.

In Beatrice Prior’s dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue-Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). So get set to discover which faction you belong to and get ready to read the Divergent series. The reading order of the Divergent books is actually pretty straightforward. This best selling series is a dystopian series that is so full of action and intrigue.

Thus began a tumultuous and passionate relationship that deeply influenced one of the most exceptional artists of our time. During the years before his death at the age of 27, he shared his life with his lover and muse, Suzanne Mallouk.Ī runaway from an unhappy home in Canada, Suzanne first met Jean-Michel in a bar on the Lower East Side in 1980.

A hotbed for hip hop, underground culture, and unmatched creative energy, it spawned some of the most significant art of the 20th century.

Still, I cannot deny that King’s characters and monsters are an indelible part of my memory. Since then, other than Hearts in Atlantis (which did nothing to convince me I should start reading his books again), I haven’t read any of King’s books. ![]() In effect, it made me discount even the books I’d already read and enjoyed. I felt that King was spinning his wheels. Sure, those two novels were meant to be similar - that was part of their marketing, with covers that blended together - but I also felt that the characters blended with so many of King’s other characters, that the monsters felt like King’s other monsters. In 1996 I was coming off the high of his serial novel The Green Mile and rushed out to purchase both Desperation and The Regulators when he published them at the same time in September 1996. A quarter century ago I read pretty much everything Stephen King had written. ![]() ![]() ![]() Gita: It took me about 2 ½ years from inception to querying. Tell us about your experience writing Enchantée. Gita: Exciting! But unfamiliar, like moving from behind the camera to standing in front of it. A MONTH! Here’s the scoop.įirst of all, how does it feel to be interviewed for The Winged Pen instead of writing a post? Gita is too modest to tell you this herself, but when she queried Enchantée, she rocked it! She had an 80% request rate, got her first offer after 16 days, received one request from an agent who’d heard about her novel through the rumor mill, and ended up with offers from six agents. ![]() It’s full of magic and romance, struggles to get by, and the excesses of Versailles. ![]() Gita Trelease’s Enchantée (Flatiron/Macmillan, 2019) is a gorgeously-written YA historical fantasy set in pre-revolutionary Paris.

His only reference to the time in the fictive world is in a distinction between the epic and tragic forms:Įpic poetry agrees with Tragedy in so far as it is an imitation in verse of characters of a higher type. For a thing whose presence or absence makes no visible difference, is not an organic part of the whole. ![]() Now, according to our definition, Tragedy is an imitation of an action that is complete, and whole, and of a certain magnitude … As therefore, in the other imitative arts, the imitation is one when the object imitated is one, so the plot, being an imitation of an action, must imitate one action and that a whole, the structural union of the parts being such that, if any one of them is displaced or removed, the whole will be disjointed and disturbed.
