Lenz, Georg Büchner’s visionary exploration of an 18th century playwright’s descent into madness, grew in part out of Alsatian pastor Oberlin’s journal, which is translated here in its entirety for the first time. Lenzis a dispassionate account on the nervous system of a schizophrenic, perhaps the first third-person text ever written from the “inside” of insanity. At his death at the age of 23 in 1837, Georg Büchner also left behind Leonce and Lena, Woyzeck, and Danton’s Death—-psychologically and politically acute plays well ahead of their time.Richard Sieburth’s translations include Friedrich Holderlin’s Hymns and Fragments, Walter Benjamin’s Moscow Diary, Gerard de Nerval’s Selected Writingsand Henri Michaux’s Emergences/Resurgences. His English edition of the Nerval won the 2000 PEN Book-of-the-Month-Club Translation Prize.

'I want to move and be moved. Everything about music is moving'; these are the words in which Wolfgang Rihm once stated his musical credo. His chamber opera Jakob Lenz has in the meantime become one of the most frequently performed works in the 20thcentury German opera repertoire. Based on Georg Bchner's novella about the poet Jakob Lenz's unavoidable decline into madness, Wolfgang Rihm builds a highly charged atmosphere that leads us compellingly to a dramatic denouement. As a result of the we

Collected in this volume are powerful dramas and psychological fiction by the nineteenth-century iconoclast now recognized as a major figure of world literature. Also included are selections from Büchner's letters and philosophical writings.

Georg Biichner is the only German dramatist of his period whose plays have not only survived both as theater and as literature, but have grown more important, more relevant with the passage of time, observes Michael Hamburger. Biichner, who died in 1837 at the age of twenty-three, shared less with the Romantic and Neoclassic elements of his own day than with the Sturm und Drang of the 1770s - and through it with the example of Shakespeare. Biichner was a forerunner of the Naturalist school and of the Theatre of the Absurd. His position as a political revolutionary, more radical in his thinking about society than his liberal friends or colleagues, had a great deal to do with his originality as an imaginative writer. The two plays and one short story translated here by Mr. Hamburger exhibit Biichner's preoccupation with the dilemma of freedom and determinism; each of the works illustrates the problem in a different way. Con- structed within a comic, fairy-tale framework, Leonce and Lena investigates the limits on human freedom imposed by social and moral conventions. In this work Biichner displays a satiric wit and a talent for comic dialogue reminiscent of Shakespeare. Woyzeck, the in- spiration for Berg's opera, also deals with convention buf, in a bleak atmosphere of human frailty and tragedy. The short story, "Lenz, " delves deep into the mind of the brilliant, troubled Sturm und Drang writer, J. M. B. Lenz, and reveals his persistent battles with madness. MICHAEL HAMBLBGER is a noted poet, translator, critic, and lecturer, and has published widely.

Siegfried Lenz is one of Germany's foremost writers, ranking in popularity as well as critical esteem with Günter Grass and Heinrich Böll. In the United States, his stature is based on his novel The German Lesson, but he is also considered one of the best short story writers of the postwar generation. These twenty-six stories make up the first comprehensive collection of his short works to appear in English.

Text: English, German (translation)

Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz (1751-1792) is, after Goethe, the most important writer of the German Sturm und Drang. Crucial in the reinvention of German literature through the reception of Shakespeare, his works contain a scathing critique of the ethical, political, and sexual regimes then prevailing in German and Eastern European territories. Both aesthetically and politically, Lenz strongly influenced later German writers-most notably Georg Büchner and Bertolt Brecht. In Germany, Lenz is still widely read and performed. Given his importance and lasting reception, it is surprising that many of his texts are not available in English. While his best-known dramas have been translated, many of his essays have not, and none of his stories or poems have been. This is especially astonishing given the growth of English-language Lenz scholarship over recent decades. This volume contains new - and, in many cases, first - English translations of Lenz's most important plays, stories, poems, and essays. It is the first representative English collection of Lenz's works. Providing reliable translations of Lenz's key writings and succinct glosses of historical and literary references, this book is a valuable resource for classroom use or for anyone interested in German literature, the European Enlightenment, and the theory and practice of theater.

The second installment in Tavares s acclaimed Kingdom series.

A Runaway Horse by Martin Walser revolves around two friends, long separated, who meet on vacation. One is an idle teacher; the other an optimistic go-getter. The teacher discovers that one cannot avoid dealing head-on with life any better than one can reason with a runaway horse. Peter Schneider's Lenz, which takes its title from the melancholy novella by Georg Bnchner, is about the life of a young intellectual in 1960s East Germany. This is its first publication in English. The Sunday I Became World Champion, by F. C. Delius, portrays a postwar German village through the eyes of a preacher's son--a boy whose stutter is helped by the success of the national soccer team.

The complete collection of Büchner's plays in one volumeBüchner was acknowledged by figures as divergent as Antonin Artaud and Bertolt Brecht to be the forefather of modern theatre. On his death at the age of 23, he left behind some outstanding dramatic works: his historical drama, Danton's Death, 'the most remarkable first play in European culture' (Guardian), translated here by Howard Brenton and Jane Fry; the innovatory tragedy, Woyzeck, translated by John Mackendrick; and the absurdist comedy, Leonce and Lena, translated by Anthony Meech. He also left a powerful short story, Lenz, an important account of his research into cranial nerves, and his revolutionary pamphlet, The Hessian Courier. All these are collected in this one volume and supplemented with a selection of his remarkable letters.
