Мартин Эсслин - Театр абсурда

• Название: Театр абсурда
• Автор: Мартин Эсслин
• Издательство: Балтийские сезоны
• Жанр: Культурология
• Год: 2010
• ISBN: 978-5-903368-40-2

Уже в конце 1950-х выражение "театр абсурда" превратилось в броское клише. Об этом Мартин Эсслин пишет на первой странице своей книги о новых путях театра. Этот фундаментальный труд, вышедший полвека назад и дополненный в последующих изданиях, актуален и сегодня. Театр абсурда противостоит некоммуникативному миру, в котором человек, оторван от традиционных религиозных и метафизических корней.

Труд Мартина Эсслина — научное изыскание и захватывающее чтение, классика жанра. Впервые переведенная на русский язык, книга предназначена практикам, теоретикам литературы и театра, студентам-гуманитариям, а также всем, кто интересуется современным искусством.
