{"product_id":"9780814312865","title":"Hugo Von Hofmannsthal : Three Plays","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince World War II Hugo von Hofmannsthal has regained his place as a classic of modern European literature. The translations collected here - Death and the Fool, Electra, and The Tower represent different periods and interests in his career as a dramatist. Yet, as the critical introduction on Hofmannsthal's tragic theater indicates, all three plays, written in different theatrical idioms, reveal a unified and developing conception of man's estate in the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHofmannsthal rejected the current fashions of the modern stage but was nonetheless a keen observer of his time. His deliberate indebtedness to the great theaters of the past allowed him to enlarge the scope of his own dramaturgy and to use a more articulate language than that afforded by the conventions of the modern realistic theater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book includes the 1927 theater version of Hofmannsthal's last great work, The Tower, available for the first time in English translation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wayne State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45394894946383,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":875.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/9174\/2287\/files\/9780814312865-1.jpg?v=1784962646","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9780814312865","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
