Photographs of breasts are everywhere: in museums, on book covers, in fashion ads, and on posters. Alluring symbols of womanhood, breasts have fascinated generations of image makers. Here, for the first time between two covers, is the breast in photography: the titillating breast, the maternal breast, the aging breast, and the symbolic breast.

Das ist Fo's 400seitiges Hauptwerk, seine höchst fröhliche Wissenschaft vom Theater, eine kenntnis- und materialreiche Theatergeschichte ebenso wie eine Schule der Komödianten, entstanden aus den Traditionen und Travestien eines universellen kulturellen Erbes - eine Summe seines politisch-moralischen wie innovativ-unterhaltsamen Werkes. Mit einem Beitrag von Franca Rame.

Die Geschichte einer Tigerin hebt das Positive hervor und betont die Hoffnung, besonders in Zeiten, die als hoffnungslos und negativ empfunden werden.

Vzpomínky držitele Nobelovy ceny za literaturu na léta dětství a dospívání. Nejde o klasickou memoárovou literaturu, ale spíše o soubor příběhů a historek, které autor prožil nebo jichž se stal svědkem. Jsou to příběhy často neuvěřitelné, ale pravdivé. Všechny spojuje svérázný, neopakovatelný Foův smysl pro humor; i v těch nejsmutnějších vzpomínkách autor dokáže nalézt veselé, směšné momenty, čímž nikterak neshazuje závažnost líčených událostí, ale dodává jim tragikomický přídech. Spolu s Foem poznáváme malá městečka v severní Itálii, v oblasti Lago di Garda, a jejich typické obyvatele.

Vengono qui pubblicate opere di Dario Fo appartenenti ad un periodo determinante della sua formazione di autore, regista, attore: le farse che, a partire dal 1958, egli venne via via elaborando, mettendo così a punto il suo personalissimo linguaggio. Farsa in chiave classica, farsa per clown, farsa gialla, farsa alla maniera della commedia dell'arte: questi i sottotitoli di alcuni dei testi del volume, comprendente le commedie più immediatamente usufruibili, a livello di divertimento e piacevolezza, di invenzione e intelligente sollecitazione, di un interprete d'eccezione. Leggerle oggi vuol dire riscoprire ancora una volta l'inaudita, inesuperabile vitalità del teatro comico italiano.
