Description

In his most famous book, An Actor Prepares, Stanislavski dealt with the imaginative processes. In the second book, Building a Character,he deals with the physical realisation of character on the stage,expressions, movement and speech etc. It is a book in which everytheory is inextricably bound up with practice - a perfect handbook tothe physical art of acting. The work of Stanislavski has inspired generations of actors andtrainers. This edition, now reprinted with a new cover at a moreaccessible price, has stood the test of time for actors all over theworld and was the original English language translation. A classic textfor every actors library. "An Actor must work all his life, cultivate his mind, train histalents systematically, develop his character; he may never despair andnever relinquish this main pupose - to love his art with all hisstrength and love it unselfishly." (Constantin Stanislavski)
