«Woyzeck» is the unfinished play by Georg Büchner, published by Reclam Philipp Jun. in paperback, in German.
Woyzeck, a common soldier, lives crushed by misery and the abuse of his superiors: the captain despises him and a doctor uses him as a guinea pig. Plunged into jealousy and despair, his sanity begins to crack. The drama, which Büchner left unfinished, denounces social oppression and the loss of humanity.
Part of the Reclam XL Text und Kontext series; an edition with commentary and supplementary materials for studying the text.
A study edition with text and context, intended for students of German literature and readers who want to explore Büchner's drama in depth.
Karl Georg Büchner was a German dramatist and writer of poetry and prose, considered part of the Young Germany movement. He was also a revolutionary and the brother of physician and philosopher Ludwig Büchner. His literary achievements, though limited by his death at age 23, are generally held in great esteem in Germany. Despite his brief career, his plays profoundly influenced naturalism, expressionism, and later developments in European theater.
