Book Overview

""Doktor Wespe: Lustspiel In Funf Aufzugen"" is a German play written by Roderich Benedix and first published in 1888. The play is a comedy that follows the story of Dr. Wespe, a physician who is known for his unconventional methods and eccentric behavior. He is also known for his love of women and his tendency to fall in love easily. The play is divided into five acts, and each act presents a different situation in which Dr. Wespe finds himself in trouble due to his love affairs. In the first act, he falls in love with a young woman who is already engaged to someone else. In the second act, he tries to woo a married woman and ends up getting caught by her husband. In the third act, he falls in love with a woman who turns out to be a thief. In the fourth act, he tries to seduce a woman who is already in love with someone else. And in the final act, he is forced to confront the consequences of his actions and make amends with the people he has hurt.The play is a humorous and lighthearted look at the romantic escapades of a man who can't seem to control his own desires. It is a commentary on the social norms of the time and the double standards that existed for men and women when it came to love and relationships. Despite its age, the play remains relevant today, as it explores themes that are still prevalent in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
