L'Île-Rousse
L'Île-Rousse (; , , or , ; , ; ) is a commune in the Haute-Corse department of France on the island of Corsica. It was founded in 1758 by Pasquale Paoli to create a port that would not be in the hands of the Genoese (such as Calvi). As Italian was until 1848 the administrative language of Corsica, the town was originally named ''Isola Rossa'' (Red Island) from the eponymous reddish color of a rocky islet that served as a natural harbor. Along with Saint-Florent and Tox, it is one of only three communes in the département to have a French name — all the others have kept their Italian names despite the repeated demands of Corsican nationalists to change the names of all communes to their native Corsican names. History Inhabited since very ancient times (between 5000-3000 BC), l'Île-Rousse was in 1000 BC a small, prosperous town called Agilla; it was dependent on Tyre in Phoenicia. Destroyed by the Phoenician fleet of Calaris ( Galeria), Agilla came under Roman ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

L'Île De La Raison
'' L'Île de la raison (en: The Island of Reason)'' is a social comedy in three acts and in prose by French playwright Pierre de Marivaux, represented for the first time 11 September 1727 by the Comédie-Française. Analysis ''L'Île de la raison'' covers the same topics as ''L'Île des esclaves'' and develops them further. The essential defect of ''The Island of reason'' was that its representation on stage needed an impossible optical trick: in Marivaux's mind, the characters of the play are dwarfs that grow slowly and reach the size of a man as their reason increases. This effect was impossible to show to the audience, even if they were informed of the fact. They would have to imagine that individuals whose size does not vary in their eyes, are first dwarves at the beginning of the piece, and ordinary men and women at the end. Marivaux thought that he could remedy this deficiency by placing a prologue at the beginning of his comedy. Also, in the first scene, the governor ...
