Viac o knihe

Exploring themes of survival and resilience, the collection features four plays by Frank J. Morlock. "The Key to the Great Gate" delves into the horrors of 1942 Vienna, where a Jewish prisoner manipulates time to cope with Nazi oppression. "Heroes and Romantics of Our Times" critiques small-town corruption through a sheriff's twisted relationship. "Lady Liberty" presents a man's escape from his marriage in a sanitarium, while "The Writing Lesson" humorously tackles the challenges of writing under Stalinist censorship. Each play highlights the struggles of the underdog.
