Articles about Entertaiment
Entertainment is a culturally recognised and broadly accessible form of activity. Despite the rise of new technology that has altered the availability, cost and speed of entertainment products for the public, the content of many forms remains recognisably similar to those used in earlier centuries. The famous story of Scheherazade, from the Persian professional storytelling tradition, is an example – it inspired composers such as Rimsky-Korsakov, Ravel and Szymanowski; director Pasolini made a film adaptation and there are innovative video games that retell it.
