Prince and Plays By Henry Gregor [Prince Starhemberg], Translated by Harvey I. Dunkle
The author has written literary works in a variety of forms — radio plays, short stories, poetry, essays, and a novel — and in two languages, German and Spanish. The plays selected for inclusion here are: Dieguito and The Trilogy of Freedom comprised of The Third Death, The Spanish Cape, and Freedom! Freedom!. The Trilogy treats the theme of resistance to all forms of tyranny.
The author's autobiographical sketch "And Now ... May I Introduce Myself" describes his life, growing up in Chile as an exile. This fragment of Starhemberg's life story also presents an exciting mosaic of his experiences in various situations and countries. The author's refreshing humor and self-irony show the engaging human being behind the writer, actor, and director.
