Review
"The outstanding, burning, controversial drama of...[the] postwar years."--'New Yorker' "Extraordinary...A devastating experience."--'San Francisco Chronicle' "A cry from the mind as well as the heart...Its ambition is deeper, its scope wider, its ferocity more sustained than those of any other play written since the war."--'New Leader' "Quite possibly the most important Christian document to develop from the abysmal tragedy of World War II...It brings home with the sharpness of a scalpel, as no history, no film, and no news report can do, the utter horror of the Nazis' 'final solution'...No one who reads this will fail to be stirred by it."--'Los Angeles Times' "Shattering...powerful impact...one of the scarring moral parables of our age."--'New York Post' "Immense scope and power...Nothing has been produced since the war to set beside its profundity, its compassion, its understanding."--'London Daily Mail'
About the Author
Rolf Hochhuth was born in Germany in 1931. After working as an editor for a German publisher, he went to Rome in 1959 to begin his first draft of 'The Deputy'. A shortened stage version of the play was first produced by Erwin Piscator in Berlin on February 23, 1963, and the complete text of the book was published on the same day. The play won the Young Generation Playwright Award of the 1963 Berliner Kunstpreis, and it shared the Gerhard Hauptmann Prize of 1962. Hochhuth is currently a freelance writer living in Basel, Switzerland.
