Amsterdam; XVII secolo. Rembrandt van Rijn; allrsquo;apice della sua fama; trasloca nel quartiere piugrave; elegante delle cittagrave;. Egrave; il pittore del momento: la nobiltagrave; lo osanna; i ricchi borghesi fanno la fila alla sua porta per farsi ritrarre. Tutto sembra andare per il meglio; ma la morte di tre figli appena nati sconvolge la vita dellrsquo;artista e della moglie Saskia. Per il dolore la donna si ammala e trascorre quasi tutto il tempo a letto; assistita dallrsquo;infermiera Agneta Budde. Rimasta di nuovo incinta; Saskia mette al mondo Titus; che sfuggiragrave; alla maledizione che grava sulla famiglia van Rijn. Ma la catena di lutti non egrave; finita percheacute; la donna; minata dalla tubercolosi; si spegne a soli trentrsquo;anni. Su consiglio di Agneta; il pittore prende una balia per Titus; la giovane vedova Geertje. Fra i due si accende una passione; destinata a durare poco percheacute; Rembrandt srsquo;invaghisce presto di Hendrickje; una governante appena assunta. Per qualche tempo lrsquo;artista e le sue amanti daranno vita a un insolito meacute;nage a trois. Agneta intanto continua a seguire da lontano le vicende di casa van Rijn e a nascondere un inquietante segreto che finiragrave; per influire sulla vita del pittore e delle sue donne.

I can literally say; it is best book about actingBy Omer OcakI read lots of books about acting but none of them was concise; up to the point and real summary. This book byitself is enough to give you all the information about the acting. It explains a great technique which really helps a lot on the stage. It also explains how to apply this technique in different conditions; with different directors; actors; methods. It has also troubleshooting page for many different use cases/scenarios. It should be really "under the pillow" book for anyone who is into acting0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Highly recommended for someone serious about the language of theater and film. How to make a deeper connection to the heart of a great story. This book explores the difference between those who think acting is pretending to look like a person who is feeling something -- and those who feel the job is based in real actions.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I love this handbook; great tips!!By NeheahI truly enjoyed this beauty; it packs a lot of tips; wisdom; advice; etc... within an seemingly small text. Of course; you should also pay close attention to your other resources (i.e. your instincts; prior training) but this is great if you cant get to certain resources; or pay for this; whatever. As many other reviewers has mentioned this book does break down constant techniques and turn them from complicated to understandable. Im relatively new to the "acting realm" mainly because Im just now getting back into auditions; monologues and what accompanies that. Im more of the jack-of-all-trades kind of girl; because I love to write; create music; sing; produce; direct; and of course acting; but through it all when I wasnt getting any auditions; blah; blah I ended up just sliding away from acting; but still having that same love for it. I needed something else quick; that I could afford and could keep with me on regular while learning more than what I originally knew with having some sensible tips on issue I was suffering on. This book was it; I suggest you read it; because itll definitely come in high regard.
