Hauptmann H. Weavers : a drama from the forties [Electronic copy] / Gerhart Hauptmann ; translated from the German by Mykhailo Pavlyk ; [introductory note] by I. Franko: Druk. Nauk. Shevchenko Publishing House, 1898. 102 p.
"The Weavers" is a historical drama by German playwright Gerhart Hauptmann (1862-1946), which brought the author fame and recognition in the literary world and caused a great public outcry not only in Germany but also in other European countries.
The story is set in Silesia during the economic and social tensions of 1844. For the first time on the German stage, social conflict became the basis of the play's storyline, and the people were not the background, but the main character, the active force that was forced to confront the exploitation of factory owners and production crises. This was Hauptmann's innovation as a playwright.
Through the prism of the heroic efforts of ordinary workers, the author highlights the themes of social justice, labour discipline and the struggle for a decent life. Hauptman successfully combines realism with symbolism, creating vivid, vivid images of characters who face moral and ethical dilemmas in a harsh capitalist society.
"Weavers reflects the deep conflicts and contradictions inherent in the working class and its relationship with power and capital. This drama leaves a deep mark on the hearts of readers, raising questions of justice and humanity in a world where exploitation and the struggle for survival are often intertwined.
