Produktbeschreibung

John Galsworthy's 'Strife' is a captivating play that explores themes of labor disputes and industrial struggle within a literary context of naturalism and social realism. Set in the backdrop of a Welsh tinplate works, the play offers a nuanced examination of the clash between workers and management, depicting the intricate web of power dynamics and the human cost of such conflicts. Galsworthy's use of dialogue and character development brings the tensions to life, drawing the reader into the heart of the conflict with its ethical dilemmas and emotional turmoil. John Galsworthy, a Nobel Prize-winning author known for his social commentary and keen insight into human nature, was inspired to write 'Strife' by his own observations of labor disputes and class struggles in early 20th-century Britain. His background in law and his advocacy for social reform shine through in the play's careful examination of justice, morality, and the complexities of human relationships in times of crisis. I highly recommend 'Strife' to readers interested in thought-provoking dramas that delve into social issues and the human condition. Galsworthy's masterful storytelling and insightful commentary make this play a timeless exploration of the eternal struggle for fairness and justice in a changing world.

Autorenporträt

John Galsworthy (1867-1933) was an English novelist and dramatist. Having begun to write in his twenties for his own amusement, he later adopted a more considered approach. His earlier works, published under the pseudonym John Sinjohn, were withdrawn and The Island Pharisee (1904) instated as his first important work.
The Forsyte Saga (1906-1921) is Galsworthy's most famous novel: a lengthy examination of an upper-middle class family, its scope, and impact earned Galsworthy the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1932.
Galsworthy was also renowned for his drama. His plays, often social in nature, were monuments of technical skill and execution. Justice (1910), his most famous play, examined the double standards of the English justice system and led to prison reform in the country.
