English The Joy of Living (Es lebe das Leben): A Play in Five Acts Produced by Charles Bowen, from page scans provided by the Web Archive "The Joy of Living (Es lebe das Leben): A Play in Five Acts" by Hermann Sudermann is a dramatic work written in the late 19th century. The play revolves around Count Michael von Kellinghausen and his wife, Beata, as they navigate the complexities of personal and political relationships amidst an election campaign. The narrative explores themes of ambition, sacrifice, and the intricacies of love and duty. At the start of the play, we are introduced to the drawing-room of Count Kellinghausen's house in Berlin, where various characters—politicians, family members, and friends—gather to discuss the recent elections. Tensions rise as Beata expresses her concern about her husband's political ambitions and the implications for their family. The interplay between personal affection and public duty is highlighted, particularly in the conversations surrounding the ramifications of an election where Michael has withdrawn to support Barón Richard von Völkerlingk. The opening sets the stage for the emotional and political conflicts that will unfold throughout the narrative. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 86.8 (6th grade).
