The Storm Komrade Sokrates centers on aging radicals who were
leaders in German student revolution of 1848. The main characters
are Dr. Hartmeyer, a Dentist and Dr. Marcuse, the local Rabbi.
After their arrests, they were sent to the Eastern border of
Germany to live a life in quasi exile. These leaders, and the other
former revolutionaries, are now attempting to pass their ideals
liberty, equality and justice] on to their sons, but fail
miserably. Their sons are not interested the aspirations of the
previous generation and, instead, one of the Dentist's sons
declares his desire to gain wealth and social status, and the
other, in the spirit of Bismarck's nationalism, joins the student
military corps. The Rabbi's son takes the opposite point of view.
He fails to see any future in a society where anti-Semitism is on
the rise and is looking for a way out. When the play was produced
in 1903, the author was threatened with imprisonment because the
script was viewed as an attack on the monarchy and the noble class.
This is the first English edition of the play.
