Bernhard's Satirical Drama Trilogy
by I
About This Novel
Paying attention to life and social reality in a critical way reveals absurdities and paradoxes that are different from Kafka's; using the ironclad spirit of intellectuals, he becomes the gadfly of society and the people. Classic plays by Thomas Bernhard, winner of the Lille Patzer Prize, the Austrian State Prize for Literature, the Büchner Prize, the Free Hanseatic City Bremen Prize, the Julius Camper Prize, the Anton Wildgans Prize, and the Franz Theodor Jockol Literary Prize. "The President": Bernhard's classic drama; a mockery of the madness of the world; behind the world is a solid and complex stage mechanism. "Heroesplatz": Bernhard's last play; a play that shocked the world and turned the whole of Austria into a stage. The Force of Habit: Bernhard's first comedy; Hannover Theater Prize, Best Play of the Year in Contemporary Theater; In a world without tolerance, every word is a mantra.
