Der Schwierige: Lustspiel in drei Akten by Hugo von Hofmannsthal
"Der Schwierige: Lustspiel in drei Akten" by Hugo von Hofmannsthal is a comedy written in 1921. Set in post-World War I Vienna over a single day, the play follows Count Hans Karl Bühl, a 39-year-old bachelor who finds social gatherings unbearable. Pressured to attend an evening soirée, he becomes entangled in others' romantic complications—including his nephew's affair, a friend's troubled marriage, and questions about his own feelings toward Helene Altenwyl, who has
loved him since childhood. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
