  huit clos: No Exit Jean-Paul Sartre, 1958 Two women and one man are locked up together for eternity in one hideous room in Hell. The windows are bricked up, there are no mirrors, the electric lights can never be turned off, and there is no exit. The irony of this Hell is that its torture is not of the rack and fire, but of the burning humiliation of each soul as it is stripped of its pretenses by the cruel curiosity of the damned. Here the soul is shorn of secrecy, and even the blackest deeds are mercilessly exposed to the fierce light of Hell. It is an eternal torment.

  huit clos: French Verbs and Idioms Trudie Maria Booth, 2005 French Verbs and Idioms is divided into 20 chapters. The preliminary chapter defines essential grammatical terms (such as conjugation, mood, elision, gender, agreement, etc.), and categorizes the verbs. Chapters 1-13 are devoted to the present indicative, past participle, pass compos , imparfait, pluperfect, pronominal verbs, the imperative, future tenses, present and past conditional, the subjunctive, present participle, infinitive, causative faire, pass simple, and the pass ant rieur. Chapters 14-17 treat impersonal verbs, incomplete verbs, direct speech, indirect speech, and the passive voice. Chapters 18-20 present those French verbs which have several meanings in English, idiomatic expressions, and problem verbs, or English verbs that have various equivalents in French and are difficult for Anglophone speakers. Extensive lists of useful idioms, proverbs, and sayings containing the verbs, tenses, and moods discussed fill the gaps in the knowledge of the advanced learner. Explanations are in English, and all verbs, examples, idioms, proverbs, and sayings (drawn from current usage) are translated into English for comparison purposes and in order to facilitate comprehension for students of any level.

  huit clos: Encyclopedia of Latin American Theater Eladio Cortés, Mirta Barrea-Marlys, 2003-12-30 Latin American culture has given birth to numerous dramatic works, though it has often been difficult to locate information about these plays and playwrights. This volume traces the history of Latin American theater, including the Nuyorican and Chicano theaters of the United States, and surveys its history from the pre-Columbian period to the present. Sections cover individual Latin American countries. Each section features alphabetically arranged entries for playwrights, independent theaters, and cultural movements. The volume begins with an overview of the development of theater in Latin America. Each of the country sections begins with an introductory survey and concludes with copious bibliographical information. The entries for playwrights provide factual information about the dramatist's life and works and place the author within the larger context of international literature. Each entry closes with a list of works by and about the playwright. A selected, general bibliography appears at the end of the volume.

  huit clos: The Drama of Fallen France Kenneth Krauss, 2012-02-01 The Drama of Fallen France examines various dramatic works written and/or produced in Paris during the four years of Nazi occupation and explains what they may have meant to their original audiences. Because of widespread financial support from the new French government at Vichy, the former French capital underwent a renaissance of theatre during this period, and both the public playhouses and the private theatres provided an amazing array of new productions and revivals. Some of the plays considered here are well known: Anouilh's Antigone, Sartre's The Flies, Claudel's The Satin Slipper. Others have remained obscure, such as Cocteau's The Typewriter, Giraudoux's The Apollo of Marsac, and Montherlant's Nobody's Son; and two—André Obey's Eight Hundred Meters and Simone Jollivet's The Princess of Ursins—have remained virtually unread since the early 1940s. In examining French culture under the Vichy regime and the Nazis, Kenneth Krauss links the politics of gender and sexuality with the more traditional political concepts of collaboration and resistance. A final chapter on Truffaut's 1980 film, The Last Métro, demonstrates how the present manages to rewrite and revision the complex and seemingly contradictory reality of the past.

  huit clos: A Magical Time Frances Atkinson, Tessa Perkins Deneault, Carole Gerson, Christine Hearn, Bill Jeffries, Francis Mansbridge, Barry Truax, Hildegard Westerkamp, Sandy Wilson, Max Wyman, Ann Cowan, 2025-03-25 Simon Fraser University went from an idea in 1963 to opening its doors in 1965, a feat that led it to be dubbed “the instant university.” This multi-authored history chronicles the excitement of that first radical decade of the arts at SFU. The 1960s were famously a decade of cultural revolution, and Simon Fraser University was a creature of its time. The counter-culture spirit infected all levels of society, but none more than the new university and its innovative arts programming. Early SFU was shaped by a vision of a new kind of university where thought was free-flowing and lines between the disciplines were blurred. The open format attracted experimental artists such as the dramatist John Juliani and the composer R. Murray Schaffer, whose avant-garde performances did much to set a revolutionary tone. In this multi-authored book, writers associated with the university such as Max Wyman, Barry Truax, Ann Cowan and Francis Mansbridge capture the excitement of that first decade of the arts at SFU. Hildegard Westercamp, Carole Gerson and Christine Hearn describe the years of ferment from the viewpoint of former SFU students, and celebrated filmmaker Sandy Wilson contributes a moving piece written specifically for this book about the beginning of her career in film as a student at SFU. Richly illustrated with ephemera and photographs from the era, A Magical Time traces how innovation in the arts shaped events over the next six decades at SFU.
