Twelfth Night | William Shakespeare

My January #Roll100 picks. I think I'm going to start with the tagged book, as I think my Shakespeare knowledge is lacking. Maybe I should've started a Shakespeare book club instead of the one I currently run lol. #Roll100 @PuddleJumper

PuddleJumper I like reading the comedies 6d

I found this to be a wonderful, thought-provoking play, which did take me several attempts to see the nuances but I‘m glad I kept trying.

Busting out those theatre student skills to revisit Lear before going back to Private Rites (one time I read 2-3 plays after a late night rehearsal 🙃)

When you prepare your lessons with one edition and your students receive another edition… 🙈😤🙈
This definitely an interesting play about the hovering danger of an atomic bomb in the 70ies. I don‘t think it‘s funny, as it is declared a comedy, but definitely worth reading/watching. And unfortunately, it is quite up-to-dare again.

tpixie How frustrating to have two different additions, but it may also be interesting to compare and teach them about different translations. Right now I‘m reading Les Mis and comparing the different translations has been interesting. 7d
MariaW @tpixie The thing is I prepared my lessons with my edition. 🙈 And in that case language does not matter because it is the original. But I did check different translations, like you do now with Les Miserables, with the German translation of Pride & Prejudice and some of them were not good. 😤 6d
tpixie @MariaW Yes quality of translations can really make a difference !! How frustrating. Lesson planning takes so much time!!! 🫂🫂🫂 hugs 6d

I discovered my library has the entire light novel series of The Apothecary Diaries last night. I got hooked on the manga last year. I‘m already loving the extra insight into Maomao's thoughts. She's so aloof but caring at the same time.

The Physicists: A Comedy in Two Acts | Friedrich Drrenmatt, Joel Agee

Dürrenmatt did write the 11th hour on the atomic clock directly into our memory - with satanic, ridiculous laughter.

Clare-Dragonfly Wow! I don‘t really understand what that means but it is certainly intense and evocative. 1w
MariaW @Clare-Dragonfly This play was written in the 70ies during Cold War and tries to make fun of the atomic bomb hanging over our heads like tge sword of Damocles back then. 1w

Trojan Women | Euripides

#classicschallenge 2025 @Lunakay #2025reads #narrativepoetry

Reading this for the second time, was as hard as the first. Through Hecuba‘s agony, Euripides shows the senselessness of war. Her voice is also the voice of the surviving women, and its truly awful, but I‘m still glad I read this. What stands out for me is the women‘s strength. They have been through so much and yet they are not broken.

AnishaInkspill A very young child is murdered by the Greeks, they are worried that the child, Astyanax will grow up get vengeance. Hecuba (bravely) retorts that this is not the action of a civilised society. (edited) 1w
