Jean Benedetti (1930–2012)

life of French serial killer

Benedetti's work provides an excellent foundation in which to examine Stanislavski's art and works. It has helped me to understand 'the system' as, rather than a rigid structure, a malleable tool that Stanislavski used as a stepping stone. His triumphs and failures artistically and in writing his teachings have been meticulously detailed in order to create a frame to help keep his ideas fresh and relateable.

2130 The Real Bluebeard, by Jean Benedetti (read 20 Feb 1988) Gilles de Rais was born in 1404 and executed 26 Oct 1440. He was a right hand to St, Joan of Arc, but beginning in 1433 began killing children, after doing evil with them. I don't know how accurate this book is, but it purports to be based on actual records though it lacks footnotes, etc. I did not like the book--it says St. Joan was probably a witch. Honestly! It is kind of a pulp book, and was not worth reading.
