Yet in its exploitation of symbolism, of techniques sometimes close to Impressionism, and in its subtle use of a changing narrative perspective, this Novelle goes beyond the essentially 'scientific' Naturalist approach: Hauptmann thus succeeds in exploring the complex interaction of suppressed social, psychological, physiological, and religious impulses far better than in any other work of this era. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis new edition has been prepared with\u003cbr\u003ethe changing needs of the today's learners and students of German in\u003cbr\u003emind.
