The genesis and fortunes of each work are fully charted and reinterpreted, with lavish quotations from the original texts, in light of the author's 40-year research into Dürrenmatt's art.

Summary/Abstract |
Mother Courage and Her Children is a classic in the repertory of Western theater. Written in response to the outbreak of World War II, this "chronicle play" of the Thirty Years War follows one of Brecht's most enduring characters, Courage, as she trails the armies across Europe, selling provisions from her canteen wagon. However, Courage pays the highest price of all. One by one, her children are devoured by violence, but she will not give up her livelihood-the wagon and the war.

Summary/Abstract |
One of the most daring innovators in modern fiction, Hesse wrote in the existentialist tradition of Nietzsche and Dostoevsky. One of the first writers to utilise the theories of Sigmund Freud, he added his own far-reaching speculations of the supernatural. A fascinating study of the disease in man's soul and a scathing indictment of modern bourgeoise society.

Summary/Abstract |
A once prosperous town of Guellen, located somewhere in Europe, has been turned into poverty and its citizens are struggling to get by. The opening scene of this play shows us a decrepit train station decorated for a special occasion: the town is expecting the return of Claire Zachanassian -- a millionaire who had left the town of Guellen decades earlier with hardly a penny in her pocket. The mayor and the townspeople hope that Claire is returning to give them money to renovate the town's factory and to bring the town back into prosperity. This is clearly the only motivation for the special welcome as it soon becomes clear that nobody really remembers her or has thought of her during her absence.
