Clean, tight, unmarked; light wear to edges of covers; age tanned; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; Translated from the German by Alexander Gode and Sue Ellen Wright; Kraus's iconic WWI drama is a satirical indictment of the glory of war. Presented here in English for the first time, in an abridged version that preserves the essence of the 800-page original. Its influence on Brecht, Ionesco, and other playwrights is acknowledged. Mingling actual quotations, news reports, and government orders with Kraus's own satiric dialogue, this immense drama (never meant to be performed) offers a vast fresco of events at the front and at home during, as it prophesied, the last days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Indeed, Kraus anticipated the development of atomic warfare and its threat to all mankind. Very Good Soft cover Frederick Unger 1974 New York, NY
