Life is no more than the repeated fulfilling of a permanent desire. The soul is merely the vestal handmaid whose task is to keep the sacred flame of love burning.

For actresses, dying onstage commonly meant dying pathetically and prettily. To that end, many women performers availed themselves of a time-tested assortment of gestures, postures, vocalities, costumes, and cosmetics in order to aestheticize the deaths of their characters.

Memories from a time long ago. These two are to date the best Marguerite and Armand I have ever seen. This collection of pictures contain the website banner for the performance, some official stage photos and some screencaps I took from the official trailer.

Beautiful Isabelle Huppert in La storia vera della signora dalle camelie (1981), a story of Alphonsine Plessis, who inspired Alexandre Dumas fils to write his La Dame aux camélias which in its turn inspired Verdi to compose La Traviata.

This book has become one of my favorite classics.

I think THE LADY OF THE CAMELLIAS by Alexandre Dumas Fils, might be one of the most intense books I've ever read. And that I was about to leave it a few pages after starting! However, the author realizes this in time, and he tells us to our faces so that we are completely hooked on his story! A story that made me have to stop in the middle to be able to BREATHE, because the love of Marguerite and Armand is obsessive and, even so, capable of making us reflect on prostitution, love (what does it mean to love someone? love has to put conditions? How much of us have to sacrifice for love? Is that sacrifice worth it?), materialism and death (or rather wait for death), among many other issues. And that has a devastating ending like few others.

Although I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, for me it has been worth EVERY FUCKING PAGE, and I already want to buy a good physical edition that does it justice, because it will not only enter my top best reads of the year, but also in my lists of favorite classics.

MARVELOUS.
