Manuel Tamayo Y Baus
Manuel Tamayo y Baus (15 September 1829 – 20 June 1898) was a Spanish dramatist. Life He was born at Madrid, into a family connected with the theatre, his mother being the eminent actress Joaquina Baus. She appeared as Geneviève de Brabant in an arrangement from the French made by Tamayo when he was in his twelfth year. Through the influence of his uncle, Antonio Gil y Zárate, minister of education, Tamayo's independence was secured by his nomination to a post in a government office. The earliest of his printed pieces, ''Juana de Arco'' (1847), is an arrangement from Schiller, and ''Una Aventura de Richelieu'', which the author has not cared to preserve, is said to be an imitation of Alexandre Dumas, père. The general idea of his ''Angela'' (1852) was derived from Schillers ''Kabale und Liebe'', but the atmosphere is Spanish, the situations are original, and the phrasing is Tamayos own. His first great success was ''Virginia'' (1853), a dramatic essay in Vittorio Alfieri, Alf ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Carlists
Carlism ( eu, Karlismo; ca, Carlisme; ; ) is a Traditionalist and Legitimist political movement in Spain aimed at establishing an alternative branch of the Bourbon dynasty – one descended from Don Carlos, Count of Molina (1788–1855) – on the Spanish throne. The movement was founded in consequence of a dispute over the succession laws and widespread dissatisfaction with the Alfonsine line of the House of Bourbon. It was at its strongest in the 1830s but experienced a revival following Spain's defeat in the Spanish–American War in 1898, when Spain lost its last remaining significant overseas territories of the Philippines, Cuba, Guam, and Puerto Rico to the United States. Carlism was a significant force in Spanish politics from 1833 until the end of the Francoist regime in 1975. In this capacity, it was the cause of the Carlist Wars of the 19th century and an important factor in the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s. Today, Carlists are a minor party. Origins The dy ...

Writers From Madrid
A writer is a person who uses written words in different writing styles and techniques to communicate ideas. Writers produce different forms of literary art and creative writing such as novels, short stories, books, poetry, travelogues, plays, screenplays, teleplays, songs, and essays as well as other reports and news articles that may be of interest to the general public. Writers' texts are published across a wide range of media. Skilled writers who are able to use language to express ideas well, often contribute significantly to the cultural content of a society. The term "writer" is also used elsewhere in the arts and music, such as songwriter or a screenwriter, but also a stand-alone "writer" typically refers to the creation of written language.

National Library
A national library is a library established by a government as a country's preeminent repository of information. Unlike public library, public libraries, these rarely allow citizens to borrow books. Often, they include numerous rare, valuable, or significant works. A national library is that library which has the duty of collecting and preserving the literature of the nation within and outside the country. Thus, national libraries are those libraries whose community is the nation at large. Examples include the British Library, and the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris.Line, Maurice B.; Line, J.

Théodore Barrière
Théodore Barrière (1823 – 16 October 1877), French playwright, was born in Paris. He belonged to a family of map engravers which had long been connected with the war department, and spent nine years in that service himself. The success of a vaudeville he had performed at the Beaumarchais and which was immediately snapped up for the repertory of the Palais Royal, showed him his real vocation. During the next thirty years he signed, alone or in collaboration, over a hundred plays; among the most successful were: *''La Vie de bohème'' (1849), adapted from Henri Murger’s book with the novelist's help *''Manon Lescaut'' (1851) *''Les Filles de marbre'' (1853) (subsequently adapted into English as ''The Marble Heart'' by Charles Selby)(27 May 1854)Dramatic - Adelphi ''The Musical World'', Vol. 32, No. 21, p. 352 *''Les Faux Bonshommes'' (1856) with Ernest Capendu *''L’Héritage de Monsieur Plumet'' (1858) *''Les Gens nerveux'' (1860), with Victorien Sardou Victorien ...

Henri Murger
Louis-Henri Murger, also known as Henri Murger and Henry Murger (27 March 1822 – 28 January 1861), was a French novelist and poet. He is chiefly distinguished as the author of the 1851 book ''Scènes de la vie de bohème'' (Scenes of Bohemian Life), which is based on his own experiences as a desperately poor writer living in a Parisian garret (the top floor of buildings, where artists often lived) and as a member of a loose club of friends who called themselves "the water drinkers" (because they were too poor to afford wine). In his writing he combines instinct with pathos, humour, and sadness. The book is the basis for the 1896 opera ''La bohème'' by Puccini, Leoncavallo's opera of the same name, and, at greater removes, the zarzuela '' Bohemios'' (Amadeu Vives), the 1930 operetta ''Das Veilchen vom Montmartre'' (Kálmán), and the 1996 Broadway musical ''Rent''. He wrote lyrics as well as novels and stories, the chief being ''La Chanson de Musette,'' "a tear," says Gaut ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
