«Arcadia» is the play by Tom Stoppard published in paperback (169 pages, in Catalan).
The play alternates between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: some characters investigate a romantic, scientific and literary mystery of the past, while others try to reconstruct it from the present. Stoppard reflects on truth, the passage of time, the clash between the classical and romantic temperaments and the disruptive influence of desire.
Originally written in English, this Catalan edition was published in 1999 under the title «Arcàdia».
Sir Tom Stoppard was a British playwright and screenwriter. He wrote for film, radio, stage, and television, finding prominence with plays. His work covered the themes of human rights, censorship, and political freedom, often delving into the deeper philosophical bases of society. Stoppard, a playwright of the Royal National Theatre, was one of the most internationally performed dramatists of his generation and was critically compared with William Shakespeare and George Bernard Shaw. He was knighted for his contribution to theatre in 1997 and awarded the Order of Merit in 2000.
