Dantons Tod

Book • 1835
Written by Georg Büchner in 1835, 'Dantons Tod' is a historical drama that focuses on the final days of Georges Jacques Danton, a leader of the French Revolution.

The play is based on extensive historical research and documents from the Revolution.

It contrasts Danton, an Epicurean and melancholic figure, with Robespierre, a moral crusader and dogmatist, as they become ideological opponents.

The drama explores themes of historical fatalism, the futility of individual actions against the tide of history, and the internal conflicts within the revolutionary movement.

Despite being written over a century and a half ago, the play remains significant for its philosophical and formal innovations.
