Ask a Duncan fan, and there are legion, and none will have the same answer for their favorite novel. Lois Duncan-the pen name of Lois Arquette, who died on June 15 at age 82-had a canny brilliance all writers strive for: To create work that was intense and personal that also spoke to millions. Her novels revealed the small betrayals of teenage life, magnified in blood. Fear, in Duncan’s world, lurked in a school hallway, in the eyes of a friend, in the trust of a teacher. Griffin on each paperback cover, a portrait of a teenage girl with wide eyes and brown hair, haunted by something just out of sight. Duncan wrote nearly fifty novels, with titles like Summer of Fear, Stranger With My Face, and Killing Mr. If you didn’t read Lois Duncan, your friends did, and if they didn’t, their friends did. If you were an adolescent girl of a certain age-born somewhere between 19, caught between Gen X and millennial-you read Lois Duncan. Both in its end and in the general conception of the character of Faustus, the play thus differs greatly from the Faust of Goethe. Then follows a number of scenes in which the compact is executed, notable among them the calling up of Helen of Troy, where Faustus addresses Helen in the well‐known line: ‘Was this the face that launched a thousand ships…’ The anguish of mind of Faustus as the hour for the surrender of his soul draws near is poignantly depicted. Marlowe's play follows this translation in the general outline of the story, though not in the conception of the principal character, who from a mere magician becomes, under the poet's hand, a man athirst for infinite power, ambitious to be ‘great Emperor of the world’.įaustus, weary of the sciences, turns to magic and calls up Mephistopheles, with whom he makes a compact to surrender his soul to the devil in return for 24 years of life during these Mephistopheles shall attend on him and give him whatsoever he demands. The legend appeared in the Faustbuch, first published at Frankfurt in 1587, and was translated into English as The Histoire of the Damnable Life, and Deserved Death of Doctor John Faustus. The Tragicall History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, commonly referred to simply as Doctor Faustus, is a play by Christopher Marlowe, based on. It is perhaps the first dramatization of the medieval legend of a man who sold his soul to the Devil, and who became identified with a Dr Faustus, a necromancer of the 16th cent. The earliest known performance was by the Lord Admiral's men in 1594. A drama in blank verse and prose by Marlowe, published 1604 and, in a radically different version known as the ‘B‐text’, 1616. Only one catch: He doesn’t want his family to know about his stalker. When Jack’s mom gets sick, he comes home to the family’s Texas ranch to help out. But a few years back, in the wake of a family tragedy, he dropped from the public eye and went off the grid. Jack Stapleton’s a household name-captured by paparazzi on beaches the world over, famous for, among other things, rising out of the waves in all manner of clingy board shorts and glistening like a Roman deity. But the truth is, she’s an Executive Protection Agent (aka “bodyguard”), and she just got hired to protect superstar actor Jack Stapleton from his middle-aged, corgi-breeding stalker. Hannah Brooks looks more like a kindergarten teacher than somebody who could kill you with a wine bottle opener. All opinions presented here are solely mine.
