Toller's main character Karl Thomas, a participant in the failed Communist revolution of 1919, has spent eight years in a mental hospital. Released into the much-changed Germany of 1927, Thomas encounters each of his former comrades in a world where all of the lessons of the first World War and the revolution seem to have been forgotten. Building to a powerful and tragic climax, Toller’s play has lost none of its power to shock, provoke, and awaken readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003e86 pages\u003cbr\u003eBerlinica Publishing, 2019\u003cbr\u003e5 x 8 inches\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9783960260424\u003cbr\u003eTheater\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53307216560296,"sku":"9783960260424","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/files\/Hoppla_We_re_Alive_by_Ernst_Toller.jpg?v=1754150452","url":"https:\/\/neue-galerie-design-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/hoppla-were-alive","provider":"Neue Galerie Design Shop \u0026 Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
