Bellezza invece di cenere
by Gabriel AgboUna delle virtù che hanno eternamente e sempre incoraggiato i credenti ad aggrapparsi tenacemente a Dio, anche di fronte ad un apparente estremo sconforto e disperazione, è la Sua capacità di trasformare le condizioni più sgradevoli in testimonianze positive. Questa la chiamo trasmutazione divina! Sì, la si può chiamare come si vuole. Ma, credo che capiate di cosa sto parlando. Può darsi che abbiate fatto tutto ciò che era umanamente possibile per uscire da una particolare situazione e tutto inutilmente. Purtroppo, dopo tutti i vostri sforzi, tutto ciò che sembra che vi sia rimasto sono: tristezza, dolore, rimpianti, lutto, vergogna e lacrime. Ed è come se foste tentati di mettere in discussione l'amore e persino l'esistenza di Dio. Prima di continuare, vorrei che comprendessimo le implicazioni del titolo di questo libro. Quando parliamo di cenere, parliamo della qualità più svilita di una sostanza, che non ha alcun valore. Questo è quando la gloria è stata completamente rimossa. D'altra parte, la bellezza parla di piacere, di delizia, di estetica, ecc. Così, quando parliamo di Dio che vi dà la bellezza al posto della cenere, e parliamo anche della trasmutazione divina, tutto quello che diciamo è che c'è una mano Onnipotente che può trasformare ogni disgrazia in testimonianza, afflizione in gioia, disperazione in lode, miseria in opulenza, vergogna in onore, ecc. Nella Bibbia, la cenere è sempre usata per rappresentare un'esperienza umiliante, senza speranza, dolorosa, svilente o vergognosa. Non c'è mai stato un caso in cui la cenere sia stata usata per descrivere una circostanza positiva o piacevole. Si leggerà sempre - "e indossava un sacco di tela e si copriva di cenere". Tuttavia, resta comunque qualcosa di vero: tutti coloro che sono passati attraverso esperienze umilianti, affidandosi a Dio nella Bibbia, alla fine sono stati da Lui guidati e premiati. Sì!

Ben Hecht's Theatre of Jewish Protest
by Garrett EislerBen Hecht is most remembered as a famous Hollywood screenwriter and Broadway playwright, but only recently has his extensive Jewish activism during the Holocaust and its aftermath received scholarly attention. Unlike other, more expansive Hecht biographies, this book focuses in depth on his Jewish political theatre, drawing on extensive archival research of four dramas: We Will Never Die (1943), A Jewish Fairy Tale (1944), A Flag Is Born (1946), and The Terrorist (1947). Garrett Eisler's readings of these little-known (and out of print) texts reclaim them as pivotal to the history of Jewish American drama, being among the first works of U.S. theatre to address the Holocaust. The full texts of all four works are republished here for the first time, along with production details and full performance histories. Hecht also introduced a new heroic Jewish identity to the American stage, one that challenged popular stereotypes of villainy or weakness. This powerful and (still) controversial body of work stands as a striking testament to the power of theatre to rise to the moment. In Hecht's use of the stage to aggressively engage with history as it was happening, his story is a compelling case of an artist who made a difference.
Ben Hecht: Fighting Words, Moving Pictures (Jewish Lives)
by Adina HoffmanA vibrant portrait of one of the most accomplished and prolific American screenwriters, by an award-winning biographer and essayistHe was, according to Pauline Kael, “the greatest American screenwriter.” Jean-Luc Godard called him “a genius” who “invented 80 percent of what is used in Hollywood movies today.” Besides tossing off dozens of now-classic scripts—including Scarface,Twentieth Century, and Notorious—Ben Hecht was known in his day as ace reporter, celebrated playwright, taboo-busting novelist, and the most quick-witted of provocateurs. During World War II, he also emerged as an outspoken crusader for the imperiled Jews of Europe, and later he became a fierce propagandist for pre-1948 Palestine’s Jewish terrorist underground. Whatever the outrage he stirred, this self-declared “child of the century” came to embody much that defined America—especially Jewish America—in his time. Hecht's fame has dimmed with the decades, but Adina Hoffman’s vivid portrait brings this charismatic and contradictory figure back to life on the page. Hecht was a renaissance man of dazzling sorts, and Hoffman—critically acclaimed biographer, former film critic, and eloquent commentator on Middle Eastern culture and politics—is uniquely suited to capture him in all his modes.
