Gabriela Preissová born in 1862, in Kutná Hora near Prague. From childhood almost to the end of the century she lived in the Slovácko region of Moravia, where she was fascinated by the local traditions and dialect. Her first published writings were Tales from Slovácko, one of which, the Beginning of a Romance was used by Leos Janáèek as the basis for his first opera. Both her plays were also set in Slovácko, The Farmer's Woman (National Theatre, Prague 1889) and Her Stepdaughter (National Theatre, Prague 1890). Both were also turned into operas; The Farmer's Woman as Eva, by J.B. Foerster and Her Step-daughter as Jenufa by Leos Janáèek. Preissová, who died in 1946, never again achieved the success of her earlier works.

Whether I try myself here and there, or other people try me now and then, it is to this day - I swear, that is 25 years, (Vera you're getting old - a secret). Do I see things or hear them, or just feel them under my skin or above? It's not at all clear, as my life isn't crystallising either...
I have to work on that - I am not alone in this, am I?
'The worried one
makes dates
Later
the future'
I'm quoting myself there but 'it's all the same' whatever you fancy, such is your sensitivity.

Anyway, after directing Genet, Durenmatt, Picasso and Cocteau adaptations, I didn't become modest and took up residency inside myself. After I served up Tulip Doctor on the table at the Playwrights and Theatre Practitioners, I wrote Keresok (Searchers) which was published in the magazine Szinhaz (Theatre) and puzzled over at the Inter-Play in Berlin. The play Allj-ulve (Stand-sitting) was published in the periodical Theleme. Egyenesen (Straight) won the playwriting competiton of the Miskolc Theatre. Currently I am preparing for the Orkeny Istvan Playwrighting Scholarship by fighting a word and image battle - the working title is Ariel (Smoke-stripe)... my God, why don't you sigh this way a little?
I also draw comic-strips. I write poetry too. These are somehow more accepted by the people here. I don't know why.

Description de la boutique

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
