Woyzeck

Book • 1837
Written by Georg Büchner between July and October 1836, 'Woyzeck' is an unfinished play that delves into the life of Franz Woyzeck, a soldier struggling to provide for his family and maintain his sanity.

The narrative is set in a provincial German town where Woyzeck is exploited by his superiors, including the Captain and the Doctor, who subject him to cruel treatment and medical experiments.

As Woyzeck's mental health deteriorates, he becomes increasingly paranoid about his mistress Marie's infidelity with a drum major, leading to a tragic confrontation.

The play is a poignant examination of alienation, social oppression, and the desperate quest for dignity in a harsh environment.
