Every time you open your mouth on stage you are trying to persuade somebody of something. Sometimes referred to as 'the art of persuasion', rhetoric means using language to communicate your ideas and intentions to other people – and to make sure you are heard, understood and believed. This clear and concise guide explains how it works in plays, and how actors can use it to bring their performances to life on stage. Drawing on her decades of experience working with actors on major productions, including as Head of Voice at the National Theatre, Jeannette Nelson introduces all the major rhetorical techniques and devices that playwrights use. She offers fascinating breakdowns of dialogue and speeches from across the theatrical canon – from Shakespeare and Ibsen, to Tennessee Williams, Lorraine Hansberry and Arthur Miller, right up to contemporary playwrights such as Helen Edmundson and Tanika Gupta. Each chapter also includes a series of practical exercises which combine spoken word with physical action to help you explore and understand these techniques, and harness their power in performance. Whether you're an actor, a director or a drama teacher, Keeping It Active will empower you with a greater understanding of the ways that language underpins all dramatic works, and will give you the tools you need to unlock the text, understand characters, connect with the audience, and perform with greater confidence, focus and authenticity. 'As this excellent book outlines, rhetoric is everywhere. It's not simply in the parliament, the press conference and the court; it's in the workplace, the home and the family. There's no argument, classical or modern, in a play that isn't informed and helped by Jeannette's work' Josie Rourke, from her Foreword 'A great resource for actors and directors' Ralph Fiennes 'Jeannette Nelson's revelatory relationship to language is, quite simply, life-changing' Simon Godwin 'Jeannette taught me so much... I felt like I could persuade anybody to do anything' Sophie Okonedo

Winner of the EBRD Literature Prize 2019 On New Years' Eve 1938, the writer Abdulla Qodiriy is taken from his home by the Soviet secret police and thrown into a Tashkent prison. There, to distract himself from the physical and psychological torment of beatings and mindless interrogations, he attempts to mentally reconstruct the novel he was writing at the time of his arrest – based on the tragic life of the Uzbek poet-queen Oyhon, married to three khans in succession, and living as Abdulla now does, with the threat of execution hanging over her. As he gets to know his cellmates, Abdulla discovers that the Great Game of Oyhon's time, when English and Russian spies infiltrated the courts of Central Asia, has echoes in the 1930s present, but as his identification with his protagonist increases and past and present overlap it seems that Abdulla's inability to tell fact from fiction will be his undoing. The Devils' Dance brings to life the extraordinary culture of 19th century Turkestan, a world of lavish poetry recitals, brutal polo matches, and a cosmopolitan and culturally diverse Islam rarely described in western literature. Hamid Ismailov's virtuosic prose recreates this multilingual milieu in a digressive, intricately structured novel, dense with allusion, studded with quotes and sayings, and threaded through with modern and classical poetry. With this poignant, loving resurrection of both a culture and a literary canon brutally suppressed by a dictatorship which continues today, Ismailov demonstrates yet again his masterful marriage of contemporary international fiction and the Central Asian literary traditions, and his deserved position in the pantheon of both.

El enfoque y esfuerzo fundamental del libro está orientado a descubrir cómo la teología en torno a Jesús de Nazaret tomó un giro extraordinario luego de la experiencia de la resurrección. Una vez se difundió la noticia de que la muerte de Jesús no había finalizado con las expectativas mesiánicas de sus seguidores, la resurrección de Cristo toma dimensión nueva. Este libro explora la cristología del Nuevo Testamento. Y esa vertiente teológica analiza la figura de Cristo, según se revela en los evangelios canónicos, la literatura epistolar y en las revelaciones apocalípticas y visiones de Juan. Esa tradición cristológica en torno a Jesús se revela inclusive al finalizar el canon del Nuevo Testamento. El vidente Juan, al comenzar la redacción de la revelación divina, afirma de manera categórica la importancia de la revelación de Jesucristo. Nuestro estudio en torno a Jesucristo el Señor explorará el desarrollo de la teología referente al Cristo de Dios, desde la resurrección hasta las revelaciones de Juan en el Apocalipsis. Además, estudiaremos los títulos cristológicos, los himnos de las iglesias primitivas y varias reflexiones pastorales que se incorporan en las cartas del apóstol Pablo y sus seguidores. La finalidad es identificar y analizar el contenido teológico de esa gran declaración de fe para explorar sus implicaciones contemporáneas. El libro Jesucristo es el Señor, Cristología del Nuevo Testamento, de Samuel Pagán intenta identificar, analizar y explicar las afirmaciones teológicas neotestamentarias en torno a la vida y las acciones del Jesús de los evangelios canónicos, que nos permiten comprender la importante profesión de fe que declara sin inhibición que "Jesucristo es el Señor".

Pauvre Johnny Spinoza, il fallait y penser avant. Tu le savais : Cunégonde sort la nuit. Elle passe par la fenêtre et ne revient qu'au petit jour. Mais tu croyais délicat de ne pas être indiscret. Jusqu'au jour où le petit matin t'a trouvé seul et sans réponses. <br> <br>Où est-elle ? Qu'allait-elle bricoler là dehors ? L'a-t-on enlevée ? S'est-elle simplement volatilisée ? Peut-être qu'on peut se dissoudre dans la nuit... <br> <br>Pauvre Johnny. Que faire ? Fouiller dans le passé de la belle, retourner ses tiroirs pour y trouver l'accroche d'un indice ? Ou plonger à ton tour dans les ténèbres ? Commence pour toi un ballet de silhouettes et de néons qui transforme la ville en un théâtre d'ombre. La nuit est un monde à part. <br> <br>Les immeubles prennent des proportions, les rues s'enfoncent entre les lampadaires. Des êtres différents, aux préoccupations différentes de ceux du jour, sortent de leur tanière. Il faut croire que Cunégonde était des leurs. Tu commences à comprendre, Johnny, ce que « secrétaire » signifie : non pas juste dactylographe ou archiviste. Cunégonde gardait des « secrets », et le faisait si bien. Trop bien peut-être... <br> <br>EXTRAIT <br> <br>- Il y a quelqu'un ? <br>Sur la commode, j'attrapai mon revolver. Était-il chargé ? Je n'ai même pas pris la peine de le vérifier. Sans doute que non. De toutes façons, je ne sais jamais où j'ai fourré mes balles. <br>A pas lents, hésitants, je m'approchai de son bureau comme un convalescent. Je tournai la poignée et ouvris d'un coup, canon pointé. <br>Au fond, le lit vide, à demi noyé dans l'obscurité. La lumière qui l'éclaboussait venait du dehors. Les rideaux, les volets n'étaient pas fermés. C'est l'un d'eux qui cognait. Par la fenêtre ouverte, je le voyais battre sa mesure désordonnée, au gré du vent. <br>Ce rectangle livide me glaça les sangs. <br>C'est comme ça que j'appris que Cunégonde aimait faire le mur. <br> <br>CE QU'EN PENSE LA CRITIQUE <br> <br>Une belle aventure pour tous les âges, où les rebondissements surgissent au fil des chapitres, jusqu'au point final. - <b>Chantal, <i>Babelio</i></b> <br> <br>Un très bon moment, plein d'humour, écrit fort élégamment et avec talent, des images ciselées, un vrai récit à suspense.
