Nelly Furman

Recenzje

In this long-awaited and definitive study, Nelly Furman presents the Carmen story as the central myth of modernity DL not of its founding but of its simultaneous unfounding, in which the femme fatale emerges as a projection of anxieties of race, gender, and other 'others.' As readable as it is refined, this wise and wonderful book teaches us not only about opera, film, literature, and language, but about ourselves.
