Sobre El Autor
In December 1965 Peter Weiss's Marat/Sade (1964), in a presentation by Britain's Royal Shakespeare Company, stormed the Broadway stage, captivating audience and critic alike. The assumption that the play about the murder of Marat by Charlotte Corday might have been one of the many dramatic pieces mostrar más written by Sade---and enacted by his fellow inmates for "therapeutic" reasons during the Marquis's confinement at Charenton---provided Weiss (who maintained that "every word I put down is political") with his framework for the "confrontation of the revolutionary Marat as the apostle of social improvement and the cynical individualist, the Marquis de Sade" (N.Y. Times). The Investigation (1965), which Weiss considered his best play, was first presented in 20 theaters in East and West Germany; Ingmar Bergman (see Vol. 3) was its Swedish director. It was staged in New York in 1966. Taken almost entirely from the actual proceedings of the 1965 Frankfurt War Crimes Tribunal on Auschwitz, The Investigation is a "harrowing but insistently commanding experience" (Walter Kerr, N.Y. Times). The audience, in effect, reenacts the role of the original courtroom spectators in this shattering, true account of man's depravity. Weiss received the Buchner Prize in 1982.

- Peter Weiss was born in Nowawes, near Berlin, Germany. His parents were Franziska Frieda and Eugen "Jenö" Weiss, a Hungarian Jew who converted to Christianity, and he had four siblings. After World War I and the break-up of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, his father became a Czech citizen and Peter acquired his father's nationality. He began training as a painter as a teenager. In 1935, after persecution by the Nazi regime, the family moved to the UK. Weiss studied photography at the Polytechnic Regent Street (now the University of Westminster) in London. In 1936, the family moved to Czechoslovakia, where Weiss attended the Prague Art Academy. After Nazi Germany's invasion in 1938, the family moved to Sweden, while Weiss was in Switzerland visiting Hermann Hesse. He rejoined his family the following year in Stockholm, where he lived for the rest of his life. He painted and made experimental films influenced by the Surrealists. Later he became a prolific novelist, playwright, and nonfiction writer, originally in Swedish, but by 1950 in German. He gained international acclaim for his 1963 play Marat/Sade, the Broadway production of which won the 1966 Tony Award for Best Play, and its 1967 film adaptation. In the 1960s, Weiss became increasingly left-wing politically. In 1968, he joined the Swedish Left Communist Party (VPK). He opposed U.S. involvement in the Vietnam war, and visited North Vietnam, later publishing a book about his trip. He wrote three autobiographical novels: Der Schatten des Körpers des Kutschers (The Shadow of the Body of the Coachman, 1960), Abschied von den Eltern (The Leave-taking, 1961), and Fluchtpunkt (Exile, 1962). His monumental three-part novel The Aesthetics of Resistance appeared in 1975–1981. Weiss received numerous prestigious awards, including the highest German literary award, the Georg Büchner Prize in 1982.
