Gotthold Lessing (1729-81), playwright, critic, humanist
philosopher and polemicist was a leading figure of the German
enlightnement era. From his immense literary output two plays stand
out - The Jews and Nathan the Wise - for the passion of the writing
and the timeless urgency of the message. Though differering greatly
in form and content, both plays are eloquent pleas for human beings
to desist from mutual persecution on racial or religious grounds.
The relevance of Lessing's thinking in today's world is all too
clear. They are published here in new English versions by the
award-winning translator, Noel Clark.
"Sara, Minna von Barnhelm Two contrasting plays by the influential
German playwright and critic, Gotthold Lessing. Sara is a
compelling domestic tragedy that is as popular now as when it was
first performed in 1755. Minna von Barnhelm is a delightful
romantic comedy."
