Hauptmann's Three Plays
About This Novel
This book includes German writer Hauptmann's representative dramas "The Weaver", "Beaver Coat" and "Rat". "The Weavers" is based on the 1844 textile workers' uprising in Silesia, Germany. It breaks the tradition of not putting proletarians on the stage in German dramas, effectively reflects the reality of class opposition in German society, and is a masterpiece of critical realism literature. The comedy "Beaver Coat" satirizes and criticizes the stupidity and incompetence of the Prussian state bureaucracy, and portrays the distinctive character of the "thief" Aunt Wolf. "Rat" focuses on a tragedy at the bottom of Germany's society, revealing the corrupt nature of the German Empire, which is strong on the outside and incompetent on the inside, and the situation before the building is about to collapse.
