The Stranger Or Misanthropy And Repentance: A Drama, In Five Acts (1798) is a play written by August Von Kotzebue. The story revolves around the character of the Stranger, who arrives in a small town and is immediately met with suspicion and hostility. As the play progresses, the Stranger's past is revealed, and it becomes clear that he has a tragic history that has led him to isolate himself from society. The play explores themes of loneliness, forgiveness, and redemption, as the Stranger's interactions with the townspeople force him to confront his own misanthropy and ultimately seek repentance for his past actions. The play is a powerful exploration of the human condition and the consequences of our actions, and remains a classic of German literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
