| Zusammenfassung: | A Couple of Soles is a classic comedic romance by the seventeenth-century playwright Li Yu. Tan Chuyu, a poor young scholar, falls in love with the beautiful actress Liu Miaogu. He joins her family’s acting troupe, and, in plays within the play, romance ensues. After Liu’s family attempts to marry her off to a local country squire, she performs a famous scene in which a heroine drowns herself—and then jumps off the stage into a river, followed by Tan. The local river deity rescues the lovers from death by transforming them into a pair of soles. Li balances their romance with the adventures of a retired upright official involving banditry, bribery, and mistaken identity—and who nets and shelters the two fish when they regain human form.Written at a time when China was beginning to recover from the cataclysmic Ming-Qing dynastic transition, A Couple of Soles displays Li’s biting wit as well as his reflections on the concerns of his age, including the dangers of administrative service and the role of theater in society. The play combines witty wordplay and caustic satire with a strong emphasis on traditional moral values. The first major comedy from late imperial China to appear in English translation, A Couple of Soles provides an unparalleled view of the theater in seventeenth-century China. A general introduction and a detailed appendix shed further light on the play and its context |

Dez 2019) A Couple of Soles is a classic comedic romance by the seventeenth-century playwright Li Yu. Tan Chuyu, a poor young scholar, falls in love with the beautiful actress Liu Miaogu. He joins her family’s acting troupe, and, in plays within the play, romance ensues. After Liu’s family attempts to marry her off to a local country squire, she performs a famous scene in which a heroine drowns herself—and then jumps off the stage into a river, followed by Tan. The local river deity rescues the lovers from death by transforming them into a pair of soles. Li balances their romance with the adventures of a retired upright official involving banditry, bribery, and mistaken identity—and who nets and shelters the two fish when they regain human form.Written at a time when China was beginning to recover from the cataclysmic Ming-Qing dynastic transition, A Couple of Soles displays Li’s biting wit as well as his reflections on the concerns of his age, including the dangers of administrative service and the role of theater in society. The play combines witty wordplay and caustic satire with a strong emphasis on traditional moral values. The first major comedy from late imperial China to appear in English translation, A Couple of Soles provides an unparalleled view of the theater in seventeenth-century China. A general introduction and a detailed appendix shed further light on the play and its context Text englisch Li, Yu 1611-1680 (DE-588)118779850 gnd rswk-swf DRAMA / Asian / General bisacsh Übersetzung (DE-588)4061418-9 gnd rswk-swf Komödie (DE-588)4031952-0 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf China (DE-588)4009937-4 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4304080-9 Theaterstück gnd-content China (DE-588)4009937-4 g Li, Yu 1611-1680 (DE-588)118779850 p Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Komödie (DE-588)4031952-0 s Übersetzung (DE-588)4061418-9 s Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 s DE-604 Hegel, Robert E. 1943- (DE-588)138586667 trl Shen, Jing 1967- (DE-588)143396277 trl Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 9780231193542 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 9780231193559 https://doi.org/10.7312/li-19354 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
