TOM STOPPARD - GEBRAUCHT ARCADIA (HORS CATALOGU...

Arcadia takes us back and forth between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries  ranging over
the nature of truth and time  the difference between the Classical and the Romantic temperament
and the disruptive influence of sex on our orbits in life. Focusing on the mysteries--romantic
scientific  literary--that engage the minds and hearts of characters whose passions and lives
intersect across scientific planes and centuries  it is Stoppard's richest  most ravishing
comedy to date  a play of wit  intellect  language  brio and . . . emotion. It's like a dream
of levitation: you're instantaneously aloft  soaring  banking  doing loop-the-loops and then 
when you think you're about to plummet to earth  swooping to a gentle touchdown of not easily
described sweetness and sorrow . . . Exhilarating (Vincent Canby  The New York Times).
