The works written in his first phase show the influence of several individual artists and movements. The greatest impression came perhaps from Strindberg. He had translated some of his plays, for example The Father and even adapted The Ghost Sonata and The Pelican; for his career, however, A Dream Play was the most important work of the Swedish dramatist on whom he wrote a monograph published in It shows Adamov as a perceptive critic; clearly he understood this giant of Northern literature exceptionally well.
The works of several Russian authors like Chekhov, Gogol, Leskov, Dostoyevsky and Gorky made also a great impact on him and he made several adaptations and translations of their work. In his plays there are no personalities in the real sense of the word, there is no tragedy or comedy; for life is way too complex for that; tragedy and comedy fuse incessantly in our world. In the mid-fifties Adamov, after being for several years one of the leading exponents of the Theatre of the Absurd, has felt a change of heart.
He declared that his former world view was now rejected by him, that he considered many of his former plays worthless, and said that a dramatist should commit himself to the depiction of social reality. The Absurdists considered social plays superficial, because they only touch the surface of real life unlike Absurd drama where a deeper reality appears with the aid of metaphors. Several avant-garde plays of the fifties are in fact more realistic and they tell more about politics than the political propaganda plays which repeat simply Marxist or, for that matter, right-wing doctrines.
One of the early plays of Adamov, Tous contre tous illustrates this point fairly well. The play is about a workman, Jean Rist, who loses his girl to a not particularly attractive refugee. For a while he enjoys a successful political career, but after a change in power he is forced 1 Esslin, Martin: The Theater of the Absurd, p. The persecutions begin again. The actuality of the theme can be perceived easily. Although the parallels with the persecution of the Jews by the Nazis were at hand at the time of the first performance and they cannot be overlooked now, the refugees are nowhere identified in the text as Jews.
The social disorder and the racial persecution are problems of today. In the play, however, the events are not linked to any definite place or time, the social background and the possible causes of the persecution remain obscured. Thus the message is every participant of the conflict is more or less culpable, although the refugees are almost always depicted as honest people suffering innocently, and the organizers of the persecution are without exception wrong uns.
The individual is shown as helpless against the repressive state power. Tous Contre Tous was already the sixth play of Adamov. Man is victim and persecutor at the same time; the metaphysical and the political powers are the main evil influences on our destiny. From Germany to U.
