The Mystic in the Theatre: Eleonora Duse

Eva Le Gallienne

4.9/5 (30733 ratings)

Description:Eva Le Gallienne was herself a young star when, at the age of twenty-four, she first saw Duse play. 'Suddenly, I saw it happen - this thing I had always dreamed of. I saw the stage take on an added dimension. I felt the vast audience grow still and sit as though mesmerized in the presence of a frail, worn woman who, with no apparent effort, through the sheer beauty of the truth within her... reached out to each one of us and held us all enthralled.'In this book Miss Le Gallienne succeeds in capturing the very essence of Duse's acting - her individual technique, the effect she had on audiences and the means by which she achieved the effect. She shows that this art was the product of very hard work, of suffering, and of the mystic's philosophy.The book also has much fascination as a personal memoir. Miss Le Callienne met Duse for the first time in New York on the nerve-racking day of the opening of The Swan. Duse, who was to open in The Lady from the Sea four days later, sensed the suffering of the younger actress, whom she had corresponded with but never met, and sent for her. At this memorable meeting, she dispelled the young star's fear and tenseness and The Swan was a triumph. Not many months later, on tour in Pittsburgh, Eleonora Duse died of pneumonia.There have been many books on Duse, but none by a fellow artist with Miss Le Gallienne's sensitivity as a writer, experience in the theatre, and intimate knowledge of the subject.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
