Abbé Faria
Abbé Faria (), or Abbé (Abbot) (born José Custódio de Faria; 31 May 1756 – 20 September 1819), was a Luso-Goan Catholic monk who was one of the pioneers of the scientific study of hypnotism, following on from the work of Franz Mesmer. Unlike Mesmer, who claimed that hypnosis was mediated by "animal magnetism", Faria understood that it worked purely by the power of suggestion. In the early 19th century, Abbé Faria introduced oriental hypnosis to Paris. He was one of the first to depart from the theory of the "magnetic fluid", to place in relief the importance of suggestion, and to demonstrate the existence of "autosuggestion"; he also established that what he termed ''nervous sleep'' belongs to the natural order. From his earliest magnetizing séances, in 1814, he boldly developed his doctrine. Nothing comes from the magnetizer; everything comes from the subject and takes place in his imagination generated from within the mind. Magnetism is only a form of sleep. Althou ...

The Entertainer (play)
''The Entertainer'' is a three-act play by John Osborne, first produced in 1957. His first play, ''Look Back in Anger'', had attracted mixed notices but a great deal of publicity. Having depicted an " angry young man" in the earlier play, Osborne wrote at Laurence Olivier's request about an angry middle-aged man in ''The Entertainer''. Its main character is Archie Rice, a failing music-hall performer. Years later, Tony Richardson, who directed ''The Entertainer'''s premiere season, described Archie as "the embodiment of a national mood ... Archie was the future, the decline, the sourness, the ashes of old glory, where Britain was heading". The first performance was given on 10 April 1957 at the Royal Court Theatre, London. This theatre was well-known for its commitment to new and non-traditional drama, and the inclusion of a West End star such as Olivier in the cast caused much interest. Synopsis The play is in three acts, sub-divided into thirteen scenes. Some are set i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
