DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Gerhart Hauptmann, Vol. 2: Social Dramas No plays of Hauptmann produce more surely the impression of having been dipped from the fullness of life. One does not feel that these men and women - Hanne Schal and Siebenhaar, old Bernd and the Flamms are called into a brief existence as foils or props of the protagonists. They led their lives before the plays began: they continue to live in the imagination long after Henschel and Rose have succumbed. How does Christopher Flamm, that excellent fellow and most breathing picture of the average man, adjust his affairs? He is fine enough to be permanently stirred by the tragedy he has caused, yet coarse enough to fall back into a merely sensuous life of meaningless pleasures. But at his side sits that exquisite moni tor his wife. The stream of their lives must flow on. And one asks how and whither? To apply such almost inevitable questions to Hauptmann's characters is to be struck at once by the exactness and largeness of his vision of men. Few other dramatists impress one with an equal sense of life's fullness and continuity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
