Das Liebeskonzil: Eine Himmels-Tragödie in fünf Aufzügen

Oskar Panizza

1853–1921

A trained psychiatrist who became one of German literature’s great provocateurs, he wrote fierce, darkly comic works that challenged religious authority and social hypocrisy. Best known for Das Liebeskonzil, he paid for that boldness with censorship, scandal, and prison.
