Автор:Plautus Год: 2008 Издание:Oxford University Press Страниц: 288 ISBN: 9780199540563 Plautus was the single greatest influence on Western comedy. In fact, Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors and Moliere's the Miser are two subsequent classics directly based on Plautine originals. Plautus himself borrowed from the Greeks, but his jokes, rapid dialogue, bawdy humor, and irreverent characterizations are the original work of an undisputed genius. The comedies printed here show him at his best, and Professor Segal's translations keep their fast, rollicking pace intact, making these the most readable and actable versions available. This volume includes The Braggart Soldier, e Brothers Menaechmus, The Haunted House, and The Pot of Gold.
