{"product_id":"the-notebook-of-trigorin-tennessee-williams-9780811213622","title":"The Notebook of Trigorin: A Free Adaptation of Chechkov's the Sea Gull","description":"From the master twentieth-century playwright Tennessee Williams-an adaptation of Chekhov's \u003ci\u003eThe Sea Gull\u003c\/i\u003e, never before available to the general trade. \u003ci\u003eThe Notebook of Trigorin\u003c\/i\u003e is faithful to Chekhov's story of longing and unrequited love. Set on a provincial Russian Estate, its peaceful environs offer stark contrast to the turbulent lives of its characters. Constantine, a young writer, must compete for the attention of his mother, a self-obsessed, often comical aging actress, Madame Arkadina, and his romantic ideal, Nina. His rival for both women is Trigorin, an established author bound to Arkadina by her patronage of his work, and attracted to Nina by her beauty. Trigorin cannot keep himself from consuming everything of value in Constantine's life. Only in the final scenes do all discover that the price for love and fragility can be horribly high. But if the words in \u003ci\u003eThe Notebook of Trigorin\u003c\/i\u003e are essentially Chekhov's, the voice belongs firmly to Tennessee Williams. The dialogue resonates with echoes of the themes Williams developed as his signatures-compassion for the artistic soul and its vulnerability in the face of the world's successfully practiced duplicity (Act I).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tennessee Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0811213625\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811213622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.97h x 5.19w x 0.33d","brand":"Tennessee Williams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980580421887,"sku":"9780811213622","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f6438bf-0c2f-48ba-9f58-973394075c70.jpg?v=1683250713","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-notebook-of-trigorin-tennessee-williams-9780811213622","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
