A WARNING FROM THE PAST, ABOUT THE PRESENT DANGER OF ISLAMO-FASCISM.......2006-03-25
Max Frish wrote this book after WW-II, about how his countrymen ignored Hitler until it was too late. It is presented in the metaphor of an arsonist in the neighborhood who comes to live in a house of a certain Mr. Biedermann, who is so concerned about "not appearing unlikeable", he refuses to believe the new tenant of being the arsonist, in spite of him reeking of gasoline, and storing gasoline in the attic of the house where he stays, and the arsonist's provocative words and behavior. The arsonist continues asking everyone were he can get gasoline, fuses, matches, etc., saying "you don't really believe I would do such a thing, do you?" while homes go up in flames -- but Biedermann is in denial, and so in the end, his home is filled with barrels of gasoline, and the arsonist asks him for matches... which are freely given. Valid today also, regarding Islam in the West. Europe is in full-tilt denial about the dangers of Islam, and every tiny security measure is treated as an "offense" and so nobody wants to appear "impolite". Handing over the ports to Dubai, and now the latest news, giving a Chinese company owned by high-up CP officials the job of nuclear security examination of cargoe. Goodness, we don't wish to upset anyone by suggesting, they might do something bad! Too many Biedermann's in high-up government postions, and in the mass-media, apologetically ignoring even the guys who reek of gasoline...
Really cool!.......1999-11-26
I really liked this book. It is a dark drama, one that is frightening to hear. I acted in this play and I decided to pick up the book since I liked it so much. It's about a man named Biederman. Despite the warnings of "firebugs," or what we would call more-commonly arsonists, he invited a man into his house. A large, burly man that he couldn't say no to. He gave him home in the attic of his own house. His wife objected, of course, because she didn't want anyone who may be a pyromaniac living in her home. In the morning she promised herself she would get rid of the man in a perfectly polite manner. Instead, the man gave her the sad story of his youth and Frau Biederman allowed him into her house because she felt sorry for the man. So, the man invited a friend of his, without consulting Herr Biederman, by the name of Eisenring. Together they collected sawdust and oil barrels in the attic, and even promised Herr Biederman that they were the firebugs of the city and that they were going to burn the house down. But because it is his house, Gottlieb Biederman does not dismiss the two from his house. This is the story of a man who refuses to believe, and then blames all his mistakes on fate. I really enjoyed this creepy book. I think people who respect a drama such as his will, too.
This is an enjoyable, quick read--and there's no moral!.......1998-07-20
I received this as a present, waited a few months, and then read it in the course of a single day. This short play is about a middle-class businessman whose biggest anxiety revolves around the Firebugs, men in the city who are responsible for a recent rash of arsons. They enter homes as guests and, after staying the night or dining, take advantage of their hosts' hospitality and trust and burn down their homes. The protagonist, at the height of such crimes, allows a couple of young men to spend the night at his house and refuses to believe (because of pride or trust or some other variable) that the sawdust, matches, and gasoline that they bring into his attic could have anything to do with malicious intents. Frisch prevents the reader from really feeling sorry for the protagonist, who is humorously pathetic. The most interesting part, to me, is that what seems at first glance to be a caricature of human nature is, in fact, so close to reality.

A Play for Modernity.......2006-09-12
Barry Unsworth's short novel "Morality Play" (1995) is a murder-mystery set in 14th century England, but it is much more. It is a story that explores the changing boundaries between the medieval and the modern and that illuminates the power of drama to help people understand their experiences.
The narrator of the book is a 23-year old priest, Nicholas Barber, who becomes restless with his calling, runs away, has a brief affair with a married woman, and meets a group of itinerant players who are burying one of their number. Nicholas joins the troupe which heads to a small village where they decide to make a play of the fresh murder of a 12-year old boy, Thomas Wells, in the community. A young deaf and dumb woman is being held for the murder. The troupe is compelled to perform their play for the local baron, Sir Richard de Guise (in a scene that reminded me of Hamlet's performance for Claudius). They come closer to the truth of the murder than they realize.
There are vivid pictures in this book of English medieval life, of corrupt monks and priests, plagues, dusty towns, jousting, knights, the life of wandering actors and performers called joungleurs, and much else. And the mystery itself is abosrbing. Nevertheless, in my reading I found these features of the book secondary.
I found "Morality Play" most intriguing in the character development of Nicholas and in the attendant picture of a rising modernity. Nicholas is dissatisfied in his budding life as a cleric and ultimately decides that the life of a clergyman is not for him. "The impulse to run away had not been folly but the wisdom of the heart," (p. 206) he concludes. There is a turn to secularization in Nicholas's story, and to finding and following one's own star in life.
Many other features of the novel illustrate the move to and nature of the modern temprament. The players initially object to performing a play based upon the murder of young Thomas Wells in part because the story is not biblically-based and the meaning of it in the divine plan is not revealed (unlike, say, the Fall, or the story of Cain and Abel.) But as a member of the troupe observes, "Men can give meanings to things. That is no sin because our meanings are only for the time, they can be changed." (pp.74-75)
The troupe decides to perform its story of Thomas Wells to make money, a distinctively modern motivation. The members of the troupe investigate the circumstances surrounding the murder, and their play suggests how art and science are means of approaching the truth. Ultimately the murder is solved by an investigator sent by the King, and the story has something to say about the relationship between a rising central government and medieval feudalism. Finally, a young woman of easy virtue, Margaret, has been accompaning the troupe as the mistress of one of the players. She also does a great deal of value for the troupe and contributes towards preparation of the play about Thomas Wells. Yet, the troupe does not consider her as one of their number due to her gender. She becomes highly angry with this and leaves the players to make her way on her own.
Thus, I think this book has a great deal to say about the growth of secularism and the rise of views of personal growth and personal identity, naturalism in art, strong civil government, gender issues, and other matters that move the story forward from the medieval time in which it is set. The "Play of Thomas Wells" is itself a drama that tells a story of our modern world and of the factors which have led to its development.

'All the world's a stage..'.......2006-07-09
I wasn't sure about this book in the beginning, but I love historical mysteries, so I tried it out. The narrator, Nicholas Barber, is a former priest who walked away from his place and joined a group of travelling players--remarkable for a time when you were born to a social station and stayed there all your life. That is, in fact, a recurring theme--being trapped in a role, escaping from it, choosing the part you play in your own life.
The mystery, which centers around the murder of a young boy, is interesting--true mystery lovers will probably figure out the ending long before the narrator does. But the surrounding story of Nicholas's development as a person and of the accused goat girl was interesting enough to keep me reading. Overall, it was a satisfying book.
A Fine Tale........2005-09-21
The major selling point of this novel is that it has a very interesting and engrossing storyline. Neither does the author digress into inconsequential sideplots nor does he use the book as an excuse to show off his vocabulary i.e. no boring lifeless descriptions of the scenery or alleged insights into how the human mind works. This focus implies that it's possible to read the book in just one sitting without noticibly perturbing your daily routine.
The plot is set in England in the middle ages and is about a drama troupe that goes from town to town performing plays. Apparently, in those times the only kind of plays they performed were the ones that were based on stories from the bible. Competition in the shape of some other more complelling form of entertainment forces our troupe, when they enter a town, to adapt. While there, in that town, there is much controversy about the murder of a young boy in very mysterious circumstances. The debonair leader of the troupe, despite opposition from other troupe members who are troubled by this break from tradition, decides to 'play the murder'! To say more would be to give away too much but suffice it to say that the troupe's performance has unexpected ramifications.
review for Morality Play by Barry Unsworth.......2005-06-10
This story was set in the medieval times in the fourteenth century. A priest named, Nicholas Barber, was caught during a death incident. The death was upon a crew member of a group preparing a play. Witnessing the death of this member, the priest was forced to take his place, to prepare a performance of their lives. There are many characters in this story. The main characters were, the priest as the narrator and his fellow performance members who went through a journey of performing arts, yet entering a dark world of intrigue that may prove their undoing. Some characters are gifted and talented and that we may connect those talents in our lives or finding a character that may represents you the most. This book may be suitable for mature or talented readers because the words were put together with talent. Many medieval dictions and can be read like a poem at the same time. In conclusion, this book was written with rare talents and be read by mature readers.
Terrible Book.......2004-09-20
I was extremely disapointed in "Morality Play". I had never read any of Mr. Unsworth's novels before, but I was looking forward to this book, both because of the subnect matter and since it had gotten such great reviews both here and in the NY Times. Unfortunately I found this novel to be derivative, stilted, poorly written and seemed more like a first draft than a finished work. The "foreshadowing" in the book is laughable: Mr. Unsworth seems to believe that having the main character repeat the phrase "if we knew then what we know now" at the end of every chapter will add suspense. The characters- even the narrator- are poorly drawn. The author misses several opportunities to expand on their personalities. The "murder mystery" is both easily predicted and baffling, and what's worse, since the characters are such cyphers, the reader is never really given an opportunity to care. The ending is abrupt and arbitrary, and left me shrugging and saying "so what". The author has done a reasonable job setting the medieval scene, but ultimately that goes to waste. This felt like a preliminary draft for a longer and more involved book that never got written. There was a lot of potential here that was never realized. There are much better books out there- don't waste your time or your money.

Book Description
In 45 minutes, prime-time television can present viewers with a crime (often a murder), introduce all the suspects and their motives, and then solve the mystery. Through moral boundaries that have become stereotypical over the years, the show's hero is able to tie up all the loose ends and ensure that justice is served. This study explores how these morally-charged stereotypes are used in place of either logical reasoning or common sense in television crime dramas from the late 1960s to the present. Also examined is the role these shows have played in the creation and reinforcement of social stereotypes in society as a whole.

The Happy Hour Revisited.......2001-02-23
The title of this book is misleading. For all his philosophical ramblings in the first chapter, the author fails to accomplish what he thinks and says he has set out to do. What we have ended up with is his bad attempt to psychoanalyze TV cop shows and detective series he really doen't know anything about. Buying this book is a good waste of money...

Beautifully Written Morality Play.......2005-09-07
Please ignore the ignorant reviews casting Everyman off as boring and in need of serious revision. You must understand the history behind the play. It came out of a period when plays were written to reform the audience, and were largely theological. You must notice the allegorical way of thinking derived from the medeival faith which believed everything in the world had a moral meaning. When you look at it from the standpoint of a medeival audience it is a delightful way to learn important messages. However, diadactic plays can sometimes be tedious to a modern audience. Do not let that push you away. Enjoy a piece of history that has a great deal to teach its modern audience.
Is Everyman for everyman?.......2005-06-12
as many of you who will buy this book most likely have already read it. Whether the story of a man attempting redemption sparks your interest or not will probably sway you away from this book. This piece was written circa de 1485, that's a 500 year gap so obviously the allegories used won't probably make you automatically relate. But the pure idea that this story has survived so long and is still being praised today is quite an achievement. This is for anyone who wishes to have a basic edition of Everyman, for anyone who wishes to delve into one of the best examples of a morality play. Do not take it for what it is, open your mind to ideas then the whole concept of Everyman will expand. To fully grasp this book you will need to read and think about it, it's best when taught in a highschool or college forum. Also do not be quick to slap on christian beliefs on this, true that it IS a christian morality play, it is better to think of the elements in a universal way. But once again, outdated allegories, dictated religoius beliefs, and the modern day imagination will probably sway most readers away, and i'm glad, they wouldn't have understood all the big words anyways. :) Recommended for ages 16+
Very absorbing to read........1999-09-10
I found the play to be quite absorbing to read. Everyman is the explanation of medieval norms-this morality play does not work as a universal moral story. As such, this play is valuable to any historian studying the moral code of the middle ages.
Everyman is redundant and self-evident, did I mention boring.......1999-03-26
Okay Mr. "I love Everyman", I also am an AP High school student and am portraying Everyman in our High School production of the Everyman and trust me, the story is reptitious, boring, anti-climatic and fails to actually captivate an audience unless drastic revisions are incorporated. The morals are good, but the lines are superficial.
Book Description
This comprehensive anthology brings together a diverse collection of dramatic writing from the late fourteenth century to the onset of the Renaissance. The volume presents for the first time the key plays of the period in their entirety, alongside more unusual selections, covering religious narrative, religion and conscience, and politics and morality.The first section focuses on Biblical plays, including coherent sequences of the narrative Cycle plays from York and N-Town and supporting pageants from Chester and Wakefield. This approach allows a clear narrative line to develop, and permits the comparison of the treatment of key stories between the Cycles. The selected material demonstrates how the drama of the towns and cities of East Anglia and the North of England mediated religious culture to a heterodox urban audience, and explored biblical events in an intensely contemporary setting.In the second and third sections, the attention turns to secular drama, and the Moral Plays and Interludes. The featured texts illustrate the range of themes and issues covered, from the salvation of the individual human soul to the renovation of the political nation, and the variety of settings and audiences for which the plays were designed. The flexibility of the Interlude form is explored, as are the ways in which it was utilised by playwrights and their patrons to address issues of direct political and social concern to them and their audiences.Medieval Drama: An Anthology is an indispensable guide to the breadth and depth of dramatic activity in medieval Britain.

The Most comprehensive anthology of medieval drama ever!.......2001-04-20
Most collections of medieval plays offer just a small selection of texts, usually concentrating on just one kind of drama (religious, secular, comic, historical, etc.) But this anthology really does have a comprehensive selection of all the best plays and pageants from the Mystery Plays to the Interludes of the mid-sixteenth century. It's even got David Lindsay's brilliant 'Satire of the Three estates' (in full!). It's very clearly laid out, and well-edited and glossed. By far the best volume I've read.

Through close observation of an Inuit child, psychological anthropologist Jean Briggs shows how cultural messages are transmitted in that society. Her riveting narrative not only opens a window into the world and development of this youngster but also offers a new theory of the relationship between individuality and culture.
Customer Reviews:
Great Book!.......2000-08-28
I actually met and spent some time with one of the elders that this book is about. We tend to over analyze cultures and look at them through a certain "gaze", possibly an anthropological one. However, when we do this we overlook the brilliance in some of the aspects in cultures and specifically books, we must read against the grain. If you've never spent any time in the north or with Inuit people, it is easy to misundertsand a lot of things. It's easy for a person to write a review strictly on the book and decide from one certain perspective that it doesn't meet their needs. I think this book is great and it must be noted that some understanding of Inuit culture might help you in looking at things in a slightly different context.
Lessons in micro-analysis.......2000-05-11
Jean Briggs' doctoral dissertation, _Never In Anger_ (1970), became one of the great classics of psychological anthropology, both for its incredible wealth of data on how individuals are drawn into cultural patterns (even in such apparently "biological" or "private" matters as emotions), and also for the impressive fieldwork itself (Briggs spent nearly two years in small tents or igloos, where in winter she had to warm up the interior sufficiently for the ink in her typewriter to unfreeze, with an unruly and undisciplined three-year-old). The first book has been cited as charter for an entire generation of researchers in the cross-cultural study of emotions. Unfortunately, this book was not worth the 27-year wait since its predecessor. It contains valuable information, as well as the condensed reflections of Briggs' career on the cultural patterning of emotions, but the style is somewhat repetitive, and the book should probably should have remained as the articles from which it was expanded.
Briggs does make a number of arguments about enculturation/socialization which seem accurate. Interactions are redundant (in that the same message will be given in multiple contexts on multiple occasions), overdetermined (in that many different messages or motives within them will push towards the same socialization outcome), polysemous (in that there are multiple, and sometimes quite complicated or conflicting messages within each drama), that adults and children are not both seeing all the levels (in fact, Briggs argues that this is one point of much of the interactions with children -- to get them to see the adult messages as well), and that in terms of symbolic associations to possible culturally relevant meanings, the system is fairly open. Finally, as she repeats again and again, each individual will obviously experience a different series of enculturating interactions. Different members of a culture will end up with similar, but not identical, profiles.
There is much here to suggest further studies, and specialists in this area would do well at least to browse through the analyses of childhood dramas. However, the book is frustrating. Briggs remains eclectic in her theoretical standpoint, which is puzzling from someone who has spent three decades examining these issues (a less charitable reader might say that she refuses to develop a systematic theory). The chapters are meant to build, but to a large degree they merely repeat each other with minor variations in theme. There is relatively little ethnographic context, and readers wanting to know more about the Inuit would be better advised to read _Never in Anger_. All in all, a somewhat disappointing book from an otherwise great ethnographer.

Book Description
"I love you according to my bond," says Cordelia to her father in King Lear. As the play turns out, Cordelia proves to be an exemplary and loving daughter. A bond is both a legal or financial obligation, and a connection of mutual love. How are these things connected? In As You Like It, Shakespeare describes marriage as a "blessed bond of board and bed": the emotional, religious, and sexual sides of marriage cannot be detached from its status as a legal and economic contract. These examples are the pith of Frederick Turner's fascinating new book. Based on the proven maxim that "money makes the world go round," this engaging study draws from Shakespeare's texts to present a lexicon of common words, as well as a variety of familiar familial and cultural situations, in an economic context. Making constant recourse to well-known material from Shakespeare's plays, Turner demonstrates that the terms of money and value permeate our minds and lives even in our most mundane moments. His book offers a new, humane, evolutionary economics that fully expresses the moral, spiritual, and aesthetic relationships among persons, and between humans and nature. Playful and incisive, Turner's book offers a way to engage the wisdom of Shakespeare in everyday life in a trenchant prose that is accessible to lovers of Shakespeare at all levels.

Business as the core of a Culture of Hope.......2001-11-19
If you are trying to "Escape from Modernism," to transcend the ironical postmodern culture of despair with a "Culture of Hope," this book will enchant you. If you believe that the world is drenched in racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia, not to mention US imperialism, then this book may teach you a lesson. In "Shakespeare" Turner finds it intriguing that business uses words like "bond" "trust" "interest" and "honor" that are used in social discourse to describe moral and social obligations. Could it be that business is a moral and social endeavor that holds its participants to the highest standards and not a criminal conspiracy of robber barons? Here's another interesting topic that Turner examines: when businessmen sign a contract, they condemn themselves to break it. For no contract can include every detail or foresee every contingency. That pound of flesh, for instance, did it include blood spillage, or not? So how do you deal with broken contracts? With give and take--with mercy--that's how. You know: "the quality of mercy is not strained..." It's a radical notion, isn't it, that a culture of contract forces people to be merciful even as others are merciful unto them. And Shakespeare, according to Turner, figured it all out 400 years ago.
New Economy Utopia meets Bardolotry.......2001-01-03
This is one of the shoddiest books on Shakespeare I have ever read. Its basic approach is to assert some facile generalities about how free market economies help everybody and then find them in Shakespeare by means of very selective quotation. In effect, the book attempts to use the prestige of The Bard's Universal Spirit to prove or lend legitimacy to free market ideas. Its readings of Shakespeare are uninteresting. It waves away 200 years of more careful scholarship as mistaken without taking the time to provide anything like a sustained alternative reading. Worst of all, in discussing markets and economies (and nature) it consistently ignores the fact that there are sometimes losers who may not think the game has been so grand.
