La doncella de Orléans By Irene Maciá

Interesante e intensa obra a pesar de su brevedad, de la que me quedo con la siguiente frase: ¿De qué sirve la fuerza del cuerpo si cae la resistencia del alma? 1076643957 ESPAÑOL: Original obrita de teatro en nueve escenas sobre la vida de Juana de Arco. Se supone que uno de los valedores de Juana (Robert de Baudricourt) declara como testigo en su favor durante el juicio en el que la condenaron a muerte. Su declaración se transforma en una serie de imágenes de momentos cruciales de su vida (las siete escenas intermedias), en las que sólo participan cinco actores, que representan a Juana, Baudricourt, los dos caballeros del séquito de Juana, y el Delfín. La última escena vuelve al juicio y presenta las conclusiones del testigo.

Por supuesto, todos sabemos que a ninguno de los testigos en favor de Juana se le permitió participar en el juicio, y que si lo hubiera hecho habría puesto en grave peligro su vida. Pero como marco de una serie de imágenes de la vida de Juana es un buen artificio teatral, y me repito, es original.

ENGLISH: Original short play in nine scenes about the life of Joan of Arc. One of Joan's supporters (Robert de Baudricourt) is supposed to testify as a witness on her behalf during the trial in which she was sentenced to death. His declaration is transformed into a series of images of crucial moments in her life (the seven intermediate scenes), with the participation of just five actors: Joan, Baudricourt, the two knights of Joan's entourage, and the Dolphin. The last scene returns to the trial and presents the witness's conclusions.

Of course, we all know that none of the witnesses on Joan's behalf were allowed to participate in the trial, and that if they had done it they would have seriously endangered their life. But as a frame for a series of images of Joan's life, this is a good theatrical device, and I say it again, it is original.

Ruan, Francia. Año 1431. En esta ciudad se está celebrando el juicio inquisitorial contra Juana De Arco, la mística y heroína de la Guerra de los Cien Años. Cuando Robert de Baudricourt, comandante del ejército francés y mano derecha del rey Carlos VII, es llamado a declarar como testigo, éste procede a relatar los hechos más sorprendentes de la vida de la joven: desde sus primeros llamados celestiales hasta la majestuosa coronación del Delfín en la catedral de Reims, pasando por sus milagros en Chinon y el triunfo en el asedio de Orléans. Drama histórico en un solo acto sobre uno de los personajes más sorprendentes y revolucionarios de la Edad Media. La doncella de Orléans

Reseña 163. En esta ocasión voy a reseñar la que creo que es mi primera obra puramente histórica. El título ya señala sobre que personaje histórico va esta obra literaria, la conocida Juana de Arco.

En menos de 40 páginas la autora escribe las palabras de dichas páginas como si se tratase de una obra teatral donde nos explica los entresijos que rodearon la existencia de la doncella de Orléans. Con un lenguaje sencillo, sin florituras innecesarias, nos refleja que hechos influyeron en la vida de la joven mística a la vez que nos lleva a la Guerra de los Cien Años.

Al ser una obra tan corta, los personajes no están extensamente desarrollados, siendo Juana de Arco la mejor descrita, cosa lógica siendo la protagonista. A parte de ella, cuatro personajes más tienen su parte de protagonismo en la trama, pero son brevemente descritos ya que el espacio no da para más.

Al terminar el libro pensé que algo faltaba. Pronto me di cuenta de lo que era: si el posible lector le gusta profundizar en la historia que rodea a Juana de Arco sentirá en falta tres o cuatros líneas biografícas de los personajes principales que sirvan como complemento de la lectura de la obra.

Pero, quitando ese pequeño detalle, se trata de una obra interesante y que me gustaría ver representada en las tablas de un teatro. Espero verlo algún día. 1076643957 Cuando abrí este libro solo sabía de él que iba sobre Juana de Arco. No sabía lo cortito que era (si he tardado más en leerlo es porque me fui de viaje a la mitad, pero podría haberlo terminado perfectamente en una tarde), ni sabía que está escrito como una obra de teatro.
La doncella de Orléans es un relato sencillo de los hitos más destacados de la vida de Juana de Arco. Ella es la protagonista y el único personaje del que recordaré el nombre dentro de una semana: precisamente porque la obra es tan corta, y debido a mi profundo desconocimiento de la biografía y contexto de este personaje histórico, el resto de voces se mezclan en mi cabeza y apenas me han quedado claros dos o tres de los hechos representados.
Es sin embargo una forma amena y original de acercarnos a la vida de Juana de Arco, y me gustaría mucho poder ver, algún día, la obra representada por alguna compañía. 1076643957 Ladies and gentlemen. I promised this criticism on Thursday, but because of a laziness attack I don't know if I'll have it ready within the agreed deadline.
This book has a curious story while having in mind the criticism ofGiant Steps https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... together with my friend Jorge Sáez Criado https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... the author and I talked, and told me about the existence of this book of hers. Actually, a play she wrote in honor of St. Joan of Arc, which is one of my favorite saints (also). The one who had dedicated great novels. The two best areAn Army of Angels: A Novel of Joan of Arcby Pamela Marcantel https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... in my humble opinion one of the best historical novels, which I have had the honor of reading (I discovered it in a collection of historical novels that had as its subject the theme the Middle Ages). This novel would be among a top 50 or top 25 best books I've ever read. In my opinion it is the best novel ever written of the saint, giving it a very earthly character. Pamela Marcantel is given the termplaster saints about novels that speak of saints and are unbelievable. Another novel that dealt with St. Joan of Arc was that of the excellent, and in my view the unjustly undervalued German-Hungarian-Austrian writer Louis of Wohl https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
Santa Juana: The Soldier Girl
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... if De Wohl wrote this play is sure to be worth it. Louis de Wohl is one of the few writers who can shade that Finnish colosso named Mika Waltari https://www.goodreads.com/author/show.... However, it would be very unfair to value only a work by Louis de Wohl. Just as Balzac Louis de Wohl is a writer to be valued for his ensemble work, not for his individual novels. Louis de Wohl set himself a laudable goal of not disclosing the history of the Church and its saints. With a practical purpose is to look for an alternative model of positive figures who opposed the icons of Nazism who misplaced so many young people from their country. However, the version that reached popularity, although it is much lower than that of Pamela Marcantel is the version of a writer not rogue as is Mark Twain
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8... It is curious Twain who was an irreverent, irreligious person enormously hostile to the Catholic Church as seen in a A Yankee in the Court of King Arthur or who mocks the genesis https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... (by the way more interesting than this book I recommend the tribute that my friend Manuel Alfonseca does the search for the Holy Grail in the interesting Sir Karel's Adventure of Northumbria https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...). The paradox of Mark Twain despite what we have previously described this was his favorite novel of all that he wrote. Even if she did not write any novel by Joan of Arc she succumbed to her charm Robert Louis Stevenson in the fantastic The Black Arrow it is impossible not to appreciate in the half orange of Dick Shelton Joan Sedwley/John Matcham the elongated shadow of the maiden of Lorena https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... Despite being a novel of the son of Charles VII Louis XI Sir Walter Scott is also forced by the old Crawford Orleans in Quentin Durward https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... it is impossible not to see in Eowyn the daughter of Eomund, sister of Eomer scudera of Rohan apart from the influence of McBeth the trait of the French saint. Yet the author of this wonderful drama had a contact of the most popular saint through film adaptations he suspected more than the adaptation of Victor Fleming (that of the Wizard of Oz, and one of the Directors of Gone with the Wind) with Ingrid Bergman (of Scar) although José Ferrer will win for making the capricious Charles VII https://www.filmaffinity.com/es/film9... . I think it was more influenced by the wonderful adaptation made by the cycle of great stories of historical characters and that Christian Dugay performed with one of my favorite actresses Lelee Sobieski (descendant of the great Polish king who saved Vienna from the Turks, and that apart from her Polish, French, Swiss, and Jewish ancestry), for me it was a tragedy the premature withdrawal of this actress from the world of cinema was supported by actors such as Powers Boothe, Peter Strauss, Robert Loggia, Peter O'Toole, Maximilian Schell, Olimpia Dukakis, Neil Patrick Harris, Jacqueline Bisset https://www.filmaffinity.com/es/film8... (hopefully Luc Besson's nefarious adaptation with Milla Jovovich didn't have much influence: She also told me that she was influenced by the wonderful strategy game Ages of Empires II that I played. It is worth taking into account when you read this play, if you are lucky enough to read it. You must understand that it has been written by a 17-20 year old girl, who is very short, and who has suppressed characters, and situations. Because there is nothing more complicated than using multiple characters and not knowing what to do with them, or that they are here of ornaments while some are very developed, and in others it has hardly deepened. I don't have much experience as a writer, but there was a time when I was playing a networked role-playing game, and I had to write stories to delve into my character, and some of them left me undeveloped, being mere sets. That limitation must therefore be forgiven of the author. To put it, to be written by a girl so young, that she is not a historian has left a work resulting, and wonderfully well written. I believe, as a teacher told a friend of mine that I love very much we are the fruit of our fantasies and I think, the author has something of her protagonist. I wanted to say it in the Giant Steps review, but I had no courage. I really liked the structure that Irene Maciá used without being Racine https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... her scenery, or the structure of scenes or paintings reminded me of Paul Claudel https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... or Karel Capek rival Jaroslav Durych https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... who is a specialist in scenes and paintings. Irene Maciá's prose is very inspired, and it has the epic tone that a drama like this requires, but what I liked most was the enormous religiosity that the lines of dialogue perspire. It is not easy to write theatre, but the soliloquies of the future saint are very well written, and he has captured the psychology of the character. Within its limitations has caught a few scenes the miracle of Vaucoleaurs, where he convinces a skeptic and howly Robert Baudriacourt, that because there are so few characters they go out in too much (I would say even in the soup), due to the limitations is forced to use it excessively, even though it is likely that he was still in Vaucoleaurs wondering with the face of pasmo as Santa Juana got his hens to lay eggs again. I liked the addition of Jean de Metz who is one of my favorite characters, and of Betrand Poulengy, although he missed John the future bastard Dunois, La Hire, the evil Gilles of Rais, the brothers, and the parents of Joan of Arc, Pasquerel, Tremouille, De Gaucourt, De Alencon (it is worth recognizing that in contrast to the Jean-Jean-Duke of Alen-on and Gilles of Rais. Robert Nye already immortalized the process to Gilles de Rais prosecuted for witchcraft https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... so was the naturalist writer Joris Karl Huysmans https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... it would have been an interesting counterpoint to confront Joan's holiness with the future Satanism of Gilles de Rais, which Pamela Marcantel also did). The few scenes are very well chosen. I would have liked more scenes of the trial, because joan of Arc's story with her legendary origin, which was prophesied by Merlin, and was the fruit of a prophecy that one woman Elizabeth of Bavaria would destroy France, and another would save her our saint (who would have doubts whether she was French, or German, because Domremy was at the border). I would have liked to see more scenes of the trial, too. The only thing, which unfortunately we have is the testimony of Baudricaourt, and the truth is that in the trial there are notarized characters from the vengeful Cauchon, to the inquisitor Le Maistre, but also great priests in the field of holiness like the faithful Martin Ladvenu. . In the first part Joan becomes a heroine, a mythical character for a country, but it is in the second part of her life during her unfair process (another detail more of the negative that is the intrusion of secular power into ecclesiastical decisions and as corrupting the holiness of the institution). It is in this second part where Juana gets her holiness, which also reveals Dona Irene Maciá. The English are like in the movie Dunkerke don't come out, but they're like a threat, that rounds the play we don't see either Glasdale, Talbot, John of Bedford, or Warwick (Richard Beaucamp), but you can see that they are there swarming in the atmosphere, that danish director Carl Theodor Dreyer (author of that masterpiece called Ordet https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... written by the Protestant pastor and member of the Danish resistance Kaj Munk https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... ) https://www.filmaffinity.com/es/film7... https://www.filmaffinity.com/es/film7... ) or as Robert Bresson did in his trial to Joan of Arc https://www.filmaffinity.com/es/film7... It would have been more interesting to have put the focus more than on the process against Joan of Arc in his appeal, which was much more interesting, and in which intervened a countryman of the author (and one of my favorite popes I have to say) the Valencian Calixto III and Xativa. The first of the Borgia family. Perhaps, despite his notable faults, a family over-punished by black legend. With everything about Calixtus III, I'd like to keep the best of him. That he was a great humanist, a man who could for slowing Muslim expansion, and who knew how to repair a mistake as was an unjust condemnation. The final reparation would already come with Benedict XV who gave Joan a deserved award to be revered as a saint by Catholics around the world. Of course not everyone agreed William Shakespeare in his nefarious drama first part of Henry VI treated her as a heretic (he even advances the Arras pact between Charles VII and Philip the Good burgundy, that in the matter of Joan of Arc rather was the bad one) and to make her father curse her https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (in honor of the bard we will say that then the second and third part of Henry VI are very good) Joseph Pearce himself will say that even in the sixteenth century they will see Joan as a heretic https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... so he saw the nemesis of our dear G.K. Chesterton https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... George Bernard Shaw who in Holy Joan the Irish heterodox thought that the Church had no choice but to burn Joan of Arc https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... and that the process was well done. It is possible that Graham Greene is a great lover and film critic, as well as a screenwriter in Otto Preminger's film version will soften the anti-anti-catholicism and heterodoxy of Irish https://www.filmaffinity.com/es/film3... (The Scene of Stomgumble regretting burning it is beautiful). If well made the figure of the hesitant, hesitant, and selfish King Charles VII, who is destined despite his moral felders to occupy the throne. I believe, that Mrs. Irene faithful to the story. Not Santa Juana is the only interesting character That Charles VII had in his court. Let us hope that history will soon be as generous to Jacques Coeur Treasurer of Charles VII, as it was with Joan of Arc. Jacques Coeur resigned from the treasury because of his religiosity, and sold his assets to organize a crusade to rid Constantinople of the Turks (because as the West was on its way to prosper, this was done in exchange for the east of Europe succumbing to the power of the crescent at the same time that Charles VII defeats Chatillon Mehmet II conquers that bastion of Christianity called Byzantium in the same year). This story was told by Thomas B. Costain in his novel The Moneyman https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... In short, and to end in spite of his brevity, and the suppression of remarkable facts. An inspired drama and a beautiful tribute to the French Saint, which I hope will continue from the sky to continue to watch over France and the West from the skies Pd. It is certainly much better than the abominations perpetrated by Voltaire and Anatole France https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5... https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8... hopefully time will relegate such blasphemies to oblivion. In the foreword to mark Twain's edition of Joan of Arc, other novels by Joan of Arc that I could not quote such as that of Andrew Lang, Robert Southey, Sven Stolpe, and more modern ones by Malpurgo and McCarthy.
1076643957 Qué gusto da el leer una obra sencilla y profunda!!!!!! Enhorabuena!!!!!! Estoy cansado de complicaciones y rebuscamientos . Esta obra de teatro, que espero ver algún dia representada, es un descanso para el alma. Gracias Irene y sigue así. Al final siempre triunfan los pequeños como en el caso de Santa Juana.
1076643957 La verdad, hacía mucho tiempo que no leía teatro, y creo que lo echaba un poco de menos. Empecé a leer esta obra sin muchas expectativas, pero poco a poco me fui animando. Empezando con el prólogo, con el que de hecho me puedo sentir muy identificado, que da mucha perspectiva acerca de la autora y de sus motivaciones a la hora de escribir el guión. El lenguaje es impecable, ideal para una obra histórica, y las anotaciones acerca de la escenografía, vestuario y matices para los actores están muy bien cuidados. Es una lectura muy rápida y amena que me ha dejado un muy buen sabor de boca. Si tuviera que encontrarle una pega, quizá es que no me parece demasiado realista como obra de teatro, porque las escenas son demasiado breves. Pero dejando eso de lado, me ha gustado mucho! 1076643957
