Hans Henny Jahnn (17 December 1894, Stellingen – 29 November 1959, Hamburg) was a German playwright, novelist, and organ-builder. As a playwright, he wrote: ''Pastor Ephraim Magnus'' (1917), which ''The Cambridge Guide to Theatre'' describes as a nihilistic, Expressionist play "stuffed with perversities and sado-masochistic motifs"; ''Coronation of Richard III'' (1922; "equally lurid");〔Banham (1998, 553).〕 and a version of ''Medea'' (1926). Later works include the novel ''Perrudja,'' an unfinished trilogy of novels ''River without Banks'' (''Fluss ohne Ufer''), the drama ''Thomas Chatterton'' (1955; staged by Gustaf Gründgens in 1956),〔 and the novella ''The Night of Lead''. Erwin Piscator staged Jahnn's ''The Dusty Rainbow'' (''Der staubige Regenbogen'') in 1961.〔 Jahnn was also a music publisher, focusing on 17th-century organ music. He was a contemporary of organ-builder Rudolf von Beckerath. ==Personal life== He met Gottlieb Friedrich Harms, with whom he was united in a "mystical wedding" in 1913, at a secondary school (the St. Pauli ''Realschule'') which they both attended, and they lived together between 1914 and 1918.〔Jan Bürger, 2003. ''Der gestrandete Wal. Das maßlose Leben des Hans Henny Jahnn. Die Jahre 1894–1935''. Berlin: Aufbau-Verlag. ISBN 3-351-02552-1.〕 They met Ellinor Philips in 1918. In 1919, Jahnn founded the community of Ugrino with a sculptor, Franz Buse.〔Jochen Hengst und Heinrich Lewinski, 1991. ''Hanns Henny Jahnn: Ugrino''. Hannover: Revonnah Verlag. ISBN 3-927715-08-5〕 In 1926, Jahnn married Ellinor, and Harms married Sybille Philips, Ellinor's sister, in 1928. Jahnn's bisexuality, well-documented in his life, appears as well throughout his literary work. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hans Henny Jahnn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
