Excerpt from The Coming of Peace: A Family CatastropheA few words about the author of Friedensfest, which is here translated as The Coming of Peace, will possibly be of interest to readers. Gerhart Hauptmann, who is still a comparatively young man, is as yet little known to English readers, and wholly unknown to English play goers, except for the performance of this play under the auspices of the Stage Society on the 1 oth of June 1 900, which has given occasion for this translation. In German speaking countries he is recognised by many as the greatest modern dramatist with the single exception of Henrik Ibsen.He is certainly the only dramatist who, writing under the inspiration of the great Norwegian poet, can by any remotest possibility be considered to have advanced a step beyond his master in dramatic treatment of the inner social forces of mod em life.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Most commonly the parenting is undertaken by the biological parent of the child, although this might be an older sibling, a grandparent, a legal guardian, aunt, uncle or other family member, or a friend of the family. Parents have varying natural skills for the task, and a parent with good skills may be referred to as a good parent. Parenting styles will depend on the historical time period, race/ethnicity, social class, and other social characteristics. Books on parenting draw on experience and sociological / medical studies for guidance.And in this Book Family law deals with family issues and domestic relationships.
