Heimat

While Sudermann has taken his place among the foremost German novelists, it must be said that his greatest success has been achieved through his plays. As dramatist he is now one of the chief literary figures in the eyes of Europe, and he has won international fame. Most of his novels and some of his dramas have been translated into several languages. His popu larity is undoubtedly due to the fact, that in each of his works living questions are sharply defined. He has the power of putting them in concise and concrete dramatic form. His bold and positive utterances have awakened a ringing echo, because they have imperatively called the attention of the world to social and intellectual undercurrents of extraordinary persistency and unknown power.
