The Coming of Peace: A Family Catastrophe is a novel written by Gerhart Hauptmann and published in 1900. The story revolves around the life of a family in Germany during the late 19th century. The head of the family, a wealthy businessman named Augustus Matzke, is deeply involved in the military-industrial complex of the country and is a strong supporter of the German Empire.However, his son, Paul, is a pacifist who opposes his father's views and beliefs. Paul's girlfriend, Clara, is also a pacifist and shares his views. The family is torn apart by their conflicting beliefs and the impending threat of war. As tensions rise and war becomes inevitable, the Matzke family must come to terms with their differences and find a way to reconcile their beliefs in the face of the catastrophic events that are about to unfold.The Coming of Peace is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that explores the themes of war, peace, family, and personal beliefs. It is a timeless work that continues to resonate with readers today, as we continue to grapple with the devastating consequences of war and the importance of finding common ground and working towards peace.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
