Woyzeck by Georg Büchner

"Woyzeck" by Georg Büchner is a dramatic fragment written between July and October 1836. Left unfinished at the author's death in 1837, this groundbreaking work follows a poor soldier exploited by those above him. Based on the true case of a man who murdered his lover, the play explores themes of poverty, mental deterioration, and social injustice. Its fragmented structure and episodic scenes revolutionized dramatic form, making it one of the most performed and influential works in German literature.
