This title features three plays of adolescence: "Goodnight Children Everywhere"; "Franny's Way"; and, "Madame Melville". "Goodnight Children Everywhere": this play won Olivier Award for Best Play, 2000. "Exile - both literal and emotional - has been a haunting preoccupation for this dramatist. And with all themes of displacement and loss comes the yearning for a sense of place, for those attachments we cannot always rationalize but know as home. In "Goodnight Children Everywhere", the safe harbor of home has been dynamited by war...A disturbing and lovely domestic drama about the loss of childhood". ("New York Observer"). "Franny's Way": "Boundaries warp and melt in the dense urban heat that pervades Franny's Way, Nelson's sensitively drawn portrait of love in the age of J.D.Salinger. The lines between childhood and adulthood blur disorientatingly for the three generations of characters gathered in a cramped apartment in Greenwich Village at the height of the summer in the 1950's...Nelson continues to give compassionate and insightful life to such erotic waywardness". ("New York Times"). "It moves with the breathless haste of a horny teen on prom night". ("Time Out New York"). "Madame Melville": "A memory play of wonderful delicacy, tenderness and humour...I left the theatre elated at having discovered such a terrific new play. An exquisite reminder of lost love, innocence and youth". ("Daily Telegraph"). "An elegant, tender, beguiling play". ("Guardian").

Harley Granville Barker, the most influential theatre-maker of his time, finds himself adrift in America during the Great War. Estranged from the theatre, and with his spirit almost broken by an acrimonious divorce, he seeks refuge in the relative obscurity of a quiet, backwater, Williamstown, Massachusetts. He finds comfort in the congeniality of his fellow refugees and in the courtesy of strangers - and gradually begins to regain his faith in humanity and his belief in the central role of Theatre in the civilised community.

Economic Development as a Learning Process: Variation Across Sectoral Systems

Until recently, economists studying economic development have tended to consider it as a universal process, or focused their attention on common aspects. This book originates from the growing recognition of significant sectoral differences in economic development and examines the catching-up process in five different economic sectors: pharmaceuticals, telecommunications equipment, semiconductors, software, and agro-food industries. Each of these sector studies explore the learning and catch-up processes in various developing countries, in order to identify both the common features, and those which differ significantly across sectors and nations. The authors pay particular attention to China, India, Brazil, Korea and Taiwan. Edited by two of the leading scholars in the field, this book will prove to be invaluable for academics and postgraduate students interested in economic and technological development, and evolutionary economics. Contributors include: J.O. Adeoti, S. Athreye, A.C. Castro, R. Diaz, S. Gu, S. Guennif, X.-X. Kong, K. Lee, Y. Lin, F. Malerba, S. Mani, Q. Mu, R.R. Nelson, J. Niosi, J. Orozco, S.V. Ramani, R.

Three Sisters (English Version By Richard Nelson)

ANTON CHEKHOV

<p>A Count's valet prepares to marry the Countess' chambermaid until it becomes clear the Count wishes to revive an old law that will allow him to take advantage of the bride before the wedding. The valet's schemes to thwart the Count show the growing French endorsement of an aristocracy of merit and wits rather than birth, in Pierre Beaumarchais' 1784 play. "... the very talented American playwright Richard Nelson [has undertaken] a new and emphatically idiomatic adaptation ... Nelson's dialogue proves resolutely contemporary." --Clive Barnes, New York Post "The Beaumarchais/Nelson/Serban FIGARO is a pleasure to see, to talk about, to remember." --Julius Novick, The Village Voice</p>
