About the author
Born in Marbach am Neckar on November 10, 1759, Friedrich Schiller first trained in medicine before turning fully to writing. His early play The Robbers made him famous, and he went on to become one of the central writers of German classicism.
Schiller wrote across many forms: plays, poems, historical works, and philosophical essays. Among his best-known dramas are Don Carlos, the Wallenstein trilogy, Maria Stuart, and William Tell. His writing often explores freedom, moral conflict, power, and human dignity in a way that still feels vivid on the page and on stage.
He later formed a close friendship with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in Weimar, a partnership that became one of the best-known literary friendships in Europe. Schiller died on May 9, 1805, but his influence endured far beyond his lifetime, not least through "Ode to Joy," which inspired the choral finale of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.
