"Por que não olhaste para mim, Iocanaan? Tu me amarias, se olhasses para mim. Bem sei que terias me amado; o mistério do amor é maior que o mistério da morte. Só o amor deve ser meditado." I support women’s rights but also I support women’s wrongs

Non ho la possibilità di fare molte cose culturali dove vivo ora, e forse una delle cose che più mi manca del vivere a Verona è l’andare a teatro o a vedere l’opera. E’ un’esperienza che cambia completamente il modo in cui il testo viene letto, ovviamente, soprattutto quando l’espressività del cast e le decisioni della direzione teatrale manipolano il brano di matrice.
Leggere il testo di Salomé mi ha lasciata con un pugno di mosche in mano e un senso di amarezza per non averlo potuto vedere dal vivo in nessuna della sue forme. Il rating quindi non riflette altro che queste sensazioni. Spero di poter vedere la pièce esibita un giorno, e di cambiare parere sulla piattezza che mi ha ispirato nella lettura.

Un avis mitigé sur cette pièce
J'aime toujours autant la plume d'oscar wilde, la verve dont il a doté ses personnages, l'ambiance créée. Mais l'histoire en elle même m'a laissée de glace.

The illustrations in this version are very beautiful. The physical product of this book oozes charm with the unique page folds and embossing on the cover.
As for the play itself, I get why some people like it. It's tragedy to a T. I like the play's discussion of gender and sexuality, and Salome knows how to command a room. There's a fair amount of discomfort within the play too, considering Herod's ogling of his daughter (/niece) and Salome's role in getting Iokanaan (John the Baptist) killed.
The writing is interesting and I appreciated the introduction, but good God does this remind me that Wilde was an antisemite.
