Más información sobre el libro
Nestroy's three comedies will acquaint the English-speaking public with the colorful nineteenth-century Viennese dramatist and actor, whom they may know only through Thornton Wilder's adaptation of a Nestroy play as The Matchmaker, which ultimately became the popular musical Hello, Dolly! Nestroy is still widely played in Germany, Switzerland, and especially in Austria. The comedies included here are among his best and have already been performed by drama groups in the United States. The translation successfully overcomes the formidable challenge of Nestroy's wide use of wordplay and the Viennese idiom and offers the reader a sparkling version of the three comedies. In their introduction the translators tell how and why they undertook the task.
