Horváth enjoyed immediate success with his folk comedy Tales from the Vienna Woods , which premiered in Berlin in 1931, and also assured his legacy, for it remains to this day among the most frequently staged plays in German-language theater. The volume traces the complex genesis of Tales from the Vienna Woods from early preliminary work through five drafts up to the two final versions.
