His reputation rests largely on the four plays in this collection, which he called Volksstucke (popular plays), although he had no desire to embrace this tradition uncritically. Reflected in these plays is the sympathy for the situation of the exploited classes, as well as the concern for the way language is used for deception and self-deception. The hollow characters come across as potentially receptive to fascism. A latent brutality is unmasked, a lack of genuine feeling—all lying hidden under a veneer of facile sentimentality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003e243 pages\u003cbr\u003eAriadne Press, 2002\u003cbr\u003e5.75 x 0.75 x 8.75 inches\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9781572411081\u003cbr\u003eLiterature, Theatre\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41609552756904,"sku":"9781572411081","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/products\/Tales_From_the_Vienna_Woods_and_Other_Plays_Odon-Von-Horvath.jpg?v=1639933154","url":"https:\/\/neue-galerie-design-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/tales-from-the-vienna-woods-other-plays","provider":"Neue Galerie Design Shop \u0026 Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
