«Frühlings Erwachen» is the drama by Frank Wedekind, published by Philipp Reclam jun. Stuttgart in paperback (109 pages, in German).
Satirical drama about adolescence: a group of schoolchildren experiences sexual awakening, academic pressure and the incomprehension of adults in a repressive bourgeois society. Wedekind combines irony and social criticism, and the play became a classic of pre-expressionist theatre.
Subtitled «Eine Kindertragödie», the play was originally published in 1891 and is part of Reclams Universal-Bibliothek (no. 7951).
Can be used as school reading (Schullektüre) in upper secondary education, and also appeals to readers of theatre and German literature.
Benjamin Franklin Wedekind was a German playwright. His work, which often criticizes bourgeois attitudes, is considered to anticipate expressionism and was influential in the development of epic theatre.
