Book Synopsis Complete Works and Letters: Georg Buchner by : Walter Hinderer
Book excerpt: The works of Georg Buchner consists of only a few hundred pages written by a man who died in 1837 at the age of twenty-three, yet its influence on 20th-century literature can hardly be exaggerated. Particularly his drama, a century before Brecht, is considered an important precursor of the major trends in drama today. This edition includes the plays Danton's Death, Leonce and Lena, a reconstruction and synopsis of Woyzeck, the novella Lenz, the political essay The Hessian Messenger, and all the surviving letters.
