About This Item
New York, NY: Rinehart & Co, 1955. 3rd Printing of 1959 . Soft cover. Very Good/None as Issued. Text/Near New, showing trace margin discoloration. Yellow soft cover/NF w/faint creasings to upper/lower front corners. PO name on front cover verso. Collection of 3 plays by German writer and dramatist, early pioneer of naturalism in the German theatre, and recipient of 1912 Nobel Prize for Literature Gerhart Hauptmann (1862 - 1946). The Weavers (1892) raises social and moral issues of the misery of craftsmen as factories take over; it is the drama of a group rather than that of an individual. Hannele (1893) tells of an abused child's dying delirium, rendered in terms of her readings of fairy tales and the Bible. And, The Beaver Coat (1893) is a picaresque satire on Prussian bureaucracy in which a washerwoman discovers honest work alone is not a recipe for success in life. The three plays are preceded by Introduction, Bibliographical Note, and A Note on the Translation. Strong copy.
