mile Zola Le Naturalisme au th tre: Le naturalisme correspond un type de mise en sc ne et d'interpr tation des acteurs, cherchant reproduire la nature humaine au plus pr s de sa v rit scientifique. Le public se lassera vite des pi ces naturalistes, mais la notion du r le cr ateur du metteur en sc ne introduite par Antoine va marquer le si cle qui s'annonce. Au th tre, l' cole naturaliste a conserv de nombreux repr sentants depuis la fondation du Th tre-Libre en 1887 par Andr Antoine, qui fit d couvrir en France Strindberg et Ibsen. Ce th tre devient vite le refuge des auteurs rejet s par les grandes sc nes parisiennes et, par cons quent, se transforme en laboratoire de ce type de dramaturgie exp rimentale. Le style de mise en sc ne ou d'interpr tation naturaliste, qui s'oppose au jeu expressionniste, est devenu peu peu un des plus fr quemment utilis au th tre et surtout depuis l'av nement du cin ma. La M thode enseign e l'Actor's Studio tient, quant elle, plus d velopper un jeu r aliste plus qu'un jeu naturaliste; l'objet n' tant plus de singer la v rit mais d'en tirer l'essence et donc le sens profond dans le cadre dramaturgique, ce dont le naturalisme tend se passer. mile Zola, en critique avis des arts de son temps (on lui doit aussi un remarquable essai sur le roman exp rimental), produit ici une oeuvre in dite et magistrale sur un genre th tral sous-estim , r dit e ici en version int grale augment e.

The sparsely populated southern Interior of British Columbia was rich in resources and ripe for settlement in the late 1800s. The agricultural lands of the Okanagan and Nicola valleys, and the precious metals and coal of the Kootenays, lay largely unused or undiscovered: the challenges was getting to these places.
Transportation was the key that opened the way to these riches, providing hope for the future for stout-hearted settlerspeople for whom hope was the greatest of treasures. In this final book of his bestselling Carving the Western Path series, former Deputy Minister of Highways and Public Works R.G. Harvey tells the stories of the road through the Okanagan Valley, the highway alongside Kootenay Lake and the Crows Nest Railway. He also looks at how the challenge of moving people and cars over water was met, from river ferries running on human power or the force of currents to the 1,000-hp ferries on interior lakes.
Harvey's stories about BC's fascinating transportation history speaks of technical matters, but also of human resolution and determination in meeting nature's challenges.
