Three Plays
Author: Gerhart Hauptmann
Publisher: Waveland Press
ISBN: 1478608935
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
In English translation. Three plays representative of an important period in twentieth-century drama! A good part of modern drama owes its techniques and its intense awareness of social and psychological problems to the German playwright who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1912. Hauptmanns achievements had great influence on many outstanding writers, among them Eugene ONeill, who felt a special indebtedness to the European master. These three plays are superb examples of Hauptmanns wide range and offer students an opportunity to become acquainted with the work of a supremely accomplished writer. The Weavers, perhaps his most famous play, reveals the bitter lives of the wretched handweavers of the 1840s and their abortive rebellion. Hannele centers on an abused, motherless child, abandoned to a poorhouse, who creates her own fantasy world of dreams and legends. The Beaver Coat is a delightful satire about a washerwoman who quickly learns that she cannot advance very far through honest labor alone, and proceeds accordingly.

Independence
Author: Leena Telén
Publisher: Troubador Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 1805149938
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
Independence is a story in three parts, named for three passionate women – Aino, Salme and Leena – who struggle to achieve independence, whether from a war, a lover or a domineering father. It’s a family story, as well as the story of Finland, a small European nation fighting to be born from the savage civil war of 1918. The author’s grandmother Aino was imprisoned aged 19, during the civil war, for the crime of feeding the ‘wrong’ fighters. Aino’s daughter Salme fell in love with an ambitious athlete – charismatic, domineering and frankly mad – and endured a catastrophic divorce. Their daughter – Leena – became a teenage Finnish swimming champion but rebelled against a gruelling training regime and ran away from home in search of freedom. It is a story of survival, but also of joy and eventually, forgiveness.
