A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

They would hardly have been written had it not been for the war, although only one of them is concerned with that subject. To his other responsibilities the Kaiser now adds this volume. For these plays were not the work of a professional writer, but the recreation of a (temporary) professional soldier. Play-writing is a luxury to a journalist, as insidious as golf and much more expensive in time and money. When an article is written, the financial reward (and we may as well live as not) is a matter of certainty. A novelist, too, even if he is not in the front rank but I never heard of one who wasnt can at least be sure of publication. But when a play is written, there is no certainty of anything save disillusionment. To write a play, then, while I was a journalist seemed to me a depraved proceeding, almost as bad as going to Lord sin the morning.
