Family Distress or Self-Immolation: A Play, in Three Acts is a dramatic work written by August von Kotzebue and originally published in 1799. The play explores the themes of love, betrayal, and self-sacrifice within a family torn apart by secrets and lies. The story centers around the character of Countess von Walstein, who is in love with her husband's best friend, Baron von Schmerz. As their affair becomes more passionate, the Countess's husband, Count von Walstein, becomes increasingly suspicious and jealous. Meanwhile, the Count's sister, the virtuous and selfless Amalia, tries to keep the family together and protect the Countess's reputation. However, as the tension builds and the truth is revealed, the characters are forced to confront their deepest fears and desires, leading to a dramatic and tragic conclusion. Through its exploration of complex moral dilemmas and psychological conflicts, Family Distress or Self-Immolation remains a powerful and thought-provoking work of drama.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
