Book Overview
""The Lawyers: A Drama, In Five Acts"" is a play written by August Wilhelm Iffland and first published in 1799. The play tells the story of two lawyers, Baron von Rehlingen and Dr. Strahl, who are both vying for the same position as president of the court. The two men are very different in their personalities and styles, with Baron von Rehlingen being more reserved and traditional, while Dr. Strahl is more outgoing and innovative. As they compete for the position, they also find themselves competing for the affections of the same woman, Sophie. The play explores themes of ambition, love, and the corrupting influence of power. It is a classic example of German romantic drama and has been performed and adapted numerous times since its original publication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
