Description
This is a translation of Der Weltverbesserer, a play penned by Thomas Bernhard (1931-1989) in 1979. The translation decisions were based on the idea that the play is a satire on the ideas, personality, and legend of the Austrian-born philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951), who appears throughout Bernhard's oeuvre.
