Book ID/图书代码: 12580015B82044
English Summary/英文概要: What happens when an idealist volunteers to introduce Shakespeare to a group of unruly kids? Bedlam. Tears. And hard lessons learned. Convinced that children can relate to Shakespeare’s themes power, revenge, love Mel Ryane launches The Shakespeare Club at a public school. TEACHING WILL is a riotous cautionary tale of high hopes and goodwill crashing into the realities of classroom chaos.
Every week Mel encounters unexpected comedy and drama as she and the children struggle toward staging a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Woven through this fish-out-of-water tale is Mel’s own story of her childhood aspirations, her acting identity, and the heartbreaking end of her onstage career.
In the schoolyard, Mel finds herself embroiled in jealousy and betrayal worthy of Shakespeare’s plots. Fits of laughter alternate with wiping noses as she and the kids discover a surprising truth: they need each other if they want to face an audience and triumph. TEACHING WILL is an uplifting story of empowerment for dreamers and realists alike.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 试想一名理想主义者自愿向一群毫无章法可言的孩子们教授莎士比亚的情景?场面有些混乱,哭笑不得,以及好一次深刻的教训。梅尔•芮妮坚信孩子们也可以感受到莎翁笔下那些主题的力量,感受到复仇与爱,于是她在一所公立学校成立了一间莎士比亚俱乐部。
《教魂》是一个有些闹腾同时充满教育意义的故事,崇高的期待与良好的愿望都在现实教室的噪杂声中遭遇了车祸。每一周,当梅尔和孩子们挣扎着想要在舞台上表演仲夏夜之梦的时候,她就会遭遇各种意料之外的戏剧情节。而这一整个艰难故事的背后其实交织着梅尔自己童年的远大志向,她的演艺之梦,以及其登台梦想的最终破碎。
在校园里,梅尔发现自己深陷宛如莎士比亚故事情节中一样的嫉妒与背叛之中。然而不时出现的嘲笑以及羞辱却让她与孩子们发现了一个真理:如果他们想要有观众并获得最终的生理,那么他们需要并肩向前。《教魂》是一个振奋人心的故事,可以让梦想家和现实主义者们都一样因他而倍感鼓舞。(DC)
