Aubrey Beardsley Libri

Apostolo dell’estetismo di Ruskin e di Pater, squisito imitatore dei melodiosi preziosismi di Gautier (ma anche di Hugo, Flaubert e Huysmans), Oscar Wilde ancora oggi incanta e conquista soprattutto per il prodigioso scintillio della sua prosa, specie lì dove si fa paradossale ironia nel ritrarre spietatamente la società del suo tempo. In questi aforismi sulle donne e sull'amore tornano all'orecchio le irresistibili battute di personaggi celeberrimi creati dallo scrittore, soprattutto "eroine delle sue commedie, da lady Windermere alla "zia Augusta Bracknell" di The Importance of Being Earnest, in un pirotecnico susseguirsi di motti di spirito.

According to Wikipedia: "True History or True Story is a travel tale by the Greek-speaking Syrian author Lucian of Samosata, the earliest known fiction about travelling to outer space, alien life-forms and interplanetary warfare. Written in the 2nd century, the novel has been referred to as "the first known text that could be called science fiction". The work was intended by Lucian as a satire against contemporary and ancient sources, which quote fantastic and mythical events as truth... Lucian of Samosata (Greek: Λουκιανός ὁ Σαμοσατεύς, Latin: Lucianus Samosatensis; c. A.D. 125 – after A.D. 180) was a rhetorician, and satirist who wrote in the Greek language.

In den 236 Zeichnungen dieses Bandes offenbart sich die geniale graphische Begabung des Engländers Aubrey Vincent Beardsley (1872-1898). Bereits als Zwanzigjähriger entwickelte er einen Sinn für die unter der prüden Oberfläche schlummenrnde Stimmung seiner Zeit und gab diese in vielen eleganten und auch gewagten Zeichnungen wieder, die die viktorianische Gesellschaft schockten und Berdsley zum berüchtigsten Maler seiner Zeit machten. Die Zeichnungen des jungen Mannes kamen in Mode. Dies war durchaus Beardsleys Ziel, da er aufgrund einer schweren Krankheit wusste, dass ihm keine Zeit blieb, auf großen Ruhm zu warten. Beardsley illustrierte u. a. "Morte d'Arthur„ und Oscar Wildes Skansalstück “Salome„, außerdem war er als Kunstredakteur der Zeitschrift “The Yellow Press" tätig. Seine sensationellen Schwarz-Weiß-Zeichnungen, Titelseiten und Cover machten ihn endgültig einer breiten Öffentlichkeit bekannt. Beardsley starb am 16. März 1898 im Alter von nur 25 Jahren an Tuberkolose. Seine Werke jedoch beeinflussten viele ihm nachfolgende Künstler der Art Nouveau wie Pape, Mucha und Clarke.

L'azione prende avvio all'alba: Lisistrata convoca le ateniesi, ma anche spartane, corinzie e beote, per comunicare il suo piano di portata panellenica, quello di non concedersi più ai mariti fino alla cessazione delle ostilità che durano ormai da troppo tempo. Le donne piangono e tremano al pensiero, ma infine giurano di astenersi dal sesso con i mariti. Nel frattempo le più anziane hanno preso l'Acropoli e si sono rinchiuse dentro. Qui, dopo un primo tentativo fallimentare di reduci e veterani ateniesi di riprendere il cuore della vita politica, arriva un Probulo, rappresentante del potere oligarchico, circondato da scherani, che ingaggia un corpo a corpo prima simbolico e poi fisico con Lisistrata stessa e le sue compagne che lo vedrà miseramente soccombere. Ma l'astinenza fa breccia negli uomini. C'è un patto fra tutte le donne greche sul fatto di mettere fine alla guerra e di chiamare da Sparta e da Atene i massimi ambasciatori con pieni poteri. Una volta convenuti ad Atene, questi ascolteranno le parole della protagonista, che rivendicherà il primato della saggezza femminile su quella maschile nel condurre le cose del mondo, ricorderà l'antica amicizia antipersiana fra ateniesi e spartani e farà scoppiare la pace che coinciderà con la riconciliazione tra uomini e donne in una grande festa finale.
