Gerhart Hauptmann
'De Waber' (Die Weber), a powerful drama by Gerhart Hauptmann, offers a stark portrayal of the plight of Silesian weavers in the 1840s. This seminal work of German Naturalism captures the social unrest and economic hardship faced by the working class during a time of industrial change. Hauptmann’s realistic depiction of poverty and oppression made 'De Waber' a significant contribution to social drama and cemented his place as a leading voice in German literature. The play remains a compelling exploration of class conflict and human suffering, retaining its relevance for contemporary audiences interested in social justice and historical drama.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
