Three plays : The weavers ; Hannele ; the beaver coat by Gerhart Hauptmann ( Book )
13 editions published between 1977 and 2010 in English and German and held by 478 libraries worldwide
The Weavers, Hannele, and The Beaver Coat, belong to the early and dramatically most important period of Hauptmann's creative life. They show his great versatility, for only a versatile mind like Hauptmann's could produce a tragedy, a dream play, and a comedy in the same year.... It is characteristic of all three plays in this collection that Hauptmann does not give a definite conclusion to his conflict. More than once, he has pointed out that true drama has no ending and that a decision is often imposed upon a playwright who finds no clear-cut ending in life, who always sees new variations, new possibilities for breaking off the action. -Introd.
