Watch On The Rhine (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781166124625)

Watch On The Rhine is a play written by Lillian Hellman. The story is set in Washington D.C. in 1940 and revolves around the arrival of the wealthy and idealistic American couple, the Farrellys, to the home of the matriarchal Fanny Farrelly's family in Europe. Fanny's husband, Kurt Muller, is a German anti-fascist who has been forced to flee his homeland due to his political beliefs. The play explores themes of patriotism, family, sacrifice, and the fight against fascism. As tensions rise and the threat of war looms, the Muller family is forced to confront their own beliefs and the sacrifices they are willing to make in the face of tyranny. Watch On The Rhine is a powerful drama that explores the complexities of morality and the human spirit in times of crisis.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
