This gripping historical drama by Nobel Peace Prize-winning author Fredrik Bajer tells the story of the struggle for control of Schleswig, a province in northern Germany, in the mid-19th century. As Prussia and Denmark jostle for power, local politicians and ordinary citizens are caught in the middle, with their fates hanging in the balance. The play is a masterpiece of political intrigue and suspense, and a clear warning against the dangers of nationalism and war. A must-read for anyone interested in the history of Europe and the causes of conflict.
