Fires of St. John: A Drama in Four Acts is a play written by Hermann Sudermann and published in 1904. The story takes place in a small German town during the annual St. John’s Day festival, where the townspeople gather to celebrate the summer solstice. The play explores themes of love, jealousy, and betrayal as it follows the relationships between several characters, including a young couple who are engaged to be married, a wealthy businessman who is in love with the bride-to-be, and a jealous ex-lover who seeks revenge. As tensions rise and secrets are revealed, the festival takes a dark turn and the fires of St. John become a symbol of both celebration and destruction. Sudermann’s play is a powerful exploration of human nature and the complex emotions that drive us to both love and hate.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
