Comedies of Words and Other Plays is a collection of plays written by the Austrian playwright Arthur Schnitzler and first published in 1917. The collection features six plays, including the titular Comedies of Words, as well as The Green Cockatoo, The Last Masks, The Vast Domain, The Lonely Way, and The Guardian Angel. Schnitzler's plays are known for their exploration of the human psyche and their emphasis on the complexities of human relationships. Comedies of Words and Other Plays is no exception, as each play delves into the intricacies of human interaction and the various ways in which we deceive ourselves and others.In The Green Cockatoo, for example, Schnitzler explores the themes of jealousy and betrayal as a group of friends gather at a nightclub and their relationships are put to the test. In The Last Masks, he examines the nature of identity and the masks we wear in order to hide our true selves. The collection also includes The Vast Domain, a play that explores the power dynamics between men and women, and The Lonely Way, which examines the themes of love and desire. Finally, in The Guardian Angel, Schnitzler explores the concept of fate and the ways in which our actions can have unforeseen consequences.Overall, Comedies of Words and Other Plays is a thought-provoking collection of plays that offers a glimpse into the complexities of the human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
