From Morn to Midnight: A Play in Seven Scenes (1922)

From Morn to Midnight is a play in seven scenes written by Georg Kaiser and first published in 1922. The play tells the story of a bank clerk who becomes disillusioned with his mundane existence and embarks on a wild and reckless journey through the city, seeking to escape the monotony of his life. Along the way, he encounters a variety of characters, including a prostitute, a thief, and a millionaire, each of whom offers him a glimpse of a different world. As the clerk's journey becomes increasingly desperate and dangerous, he begins to lose touch with reality, leading to a shocking and tragic conclusion. With its innovative use of expressionist techniques and themes of alienation and despair, From Morn to Midnight is considered one of the most important plays of the German Expressionist movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
