Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This edition includes four plays and one libretto, covering more than twenty years of the dramatist's career: The Palace of Truth (1870), Sweethearts (1874), Princess Toto (1876), Engaged (1877) and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (1891).
