Book description
This early work, originally published in 1922, is both expensive and
hard to find in its first edition. Written by the German dramatist Georg
Kaiser, one the most successful Expressionist dramatists of his age.
This play, among the most frequently performed German Expressionist
works, charts the life of a cashier who steals money from the bank and
flees to Berlin. The un-named protagonist's bid to escape his middle
class daily life is ultimately frustrated. Many of the earliest books,
particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now
extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these
classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the
original text and artwork.
