Context paragraphs:
The Rats (play): The Rats is a stage drama in five acts by Gerhart Hauptmann, which premiered in 1911, one year before the author received the Nobel Prize for Literature.  Unlike other Hauptmann plays, such as "The Weavers" (1892) and "The Assumption of Hannele" (1893), this one does not seem ever to have been performed on Broadway.

The Conflagration: The Conflagration (German: "Der rote Hahn" , 1901) is a German play written by Gerhart Hauptmann (1862–1946).  Like Henrik Ibsen, Hauptmann focuses attention on social issues.  Unlike "The Weavers" (1892) and "The Assumption of Hannele" (1893), it does not seem to have ever been performed on Broadway; however, it was adapted as a German film in 1962, directed by John Olden and starring Rudolf Platte as Schuhmachermeister Fielitz and Inge Meysel as Frau Fielitz.

The Father Hunt: The Father Hunt is a Nero Wolfe detective novel by Rex Stout, published by the Viking Press in 1968.  "This is the first Nero Wolfe novel in nearly two years," the front flap of the dust jacket reads, "an unusual interval for the productive Rex Stout, who celebrated his eightieth birthday in December 1966."

The Golden Spiders: A Nero Wolfe Mystery: The Golden Spiders: A Nero Wolfe Mystery is a 2000 made-for-television film based on the 1953 novel by Rex Stout.  Set in 1950s Manhattan, the A&E Network production stars Maury Chaykin as the heavyweight detective genius Nero Wolfe, and Timothy Hutton as Wolfe's assistant, Archie Goodwin, narrator of the Nero Wolfe stories.  Veteran screenwriter Paul Monash adapted the 1953 novel by Rex Stout; Bill Duke directed.  When it first aired on the A&E Network March 5, 2000, "The Golden Spiders" was seen in 3.2 million homes, making it the fourth most-watched A&E original movie ever.  Its success led to the A&E original series, "A Nero Wolfe Mystery" (2001–2002).

Gerhart Hauptmann: Gerhart Johann Robert Hauptmann (15 November 1862 – 6 June 1946) was a German dramatist and novelist.  He is counted among the most important promoters of literary naturalism, though he integrated other styles into his work as well.  He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1912.

Hauptmann (crater): Hauptmann is a crater on Mercury.  It has a diameter of 120 kilometers.  Its name was adopted by the International Astronomical Union in 1985.  Hauptmann is named for the German playwright Gerhart Hauptmann, who lived from 1862 to 1946.

Rex Stout: Rex Todhunter Stout ( ; December 1, 1886 – October 27, 1975) was an American writer noted for his detective fiction.  His best-known characters are the detective Nero Wolfe and his assistant Archie Goodwin, who were featured in 33 novels and 39 novellas between 1934 and 1975.

Drayman Henschel: Drayman Henschel (German: "Führmann Henschell" ), also known as "Carter Henschel", is an 1898 five-act naturalistic play by the German playwright Gerhart Hauptmann.  Unlike his 1892 play "The Weavers", Hauptmann focuses on the story's psychological rather than social dimensions.  As with his 1902 play "Rose Bernd", the play charts the demise of an ordinary man who falls victim to circumstances beyond his control.  As with many of Hauptmann's dramas, it ends with the main character's suicide.

Rex Stout bibliography: This is a bibliography of works by or about the American writer Rex Stout (December 1, 1886 – October 27, 1975), an American writer noted for his detective fiction.  He began his literary career in the 1910s, writing more than 40 stories that appeared in pulp magazines between 1912 and 1918.  He wrote no fiction for more than a decade, until the late 1920s, when he had saved enough money through his business activities to write when and what he pleased.  In 1929, he wrote his first published book, "How Like a God", an unusual psychological story written in the second person.  He wrote a pioneering political thriller, "The President Vanishes" (1934), before he turned to writing detective fiction.  His 1934 novel "Fer-de-Lance" introduced his best-known characters, detective Nero Wolfe and his assistant Archie Goodwin, who were featured in 33 novels and 39 novellas and short stories between 1934 and 1975.

The Assumption of Hannele: The Ascension of Little Hannele (German: "Hanneles Himmelfahrt" ), also known simply as "Hannele", is an 1893 play by the German playwright Gerhart Hauptmann.  In contrast to Hauptmann's naturalistic dramas, "The Assumption of Hannele" adopts a more symbolist dramaturgy and includes a dream sequence.  The play is the first in recorded world literature with a child as its heroine.  It was first published in 1894.  Hauptmann was awarded the Grillparzer Prize in 1896 for the play.
