Mikaeli Kohlhas : Saksalainen tapakomedia Lutheruksen ajoilta

Heinrich von Kleist

1777–1811

A fierce, restless voice of German literature, he wrote dramas and stories that feel startlingly modern in their intensity. His work, including The Broken Jug, Penthesilea, Michael Kohlhaas, and The Marquise of O—, is known for moral pressure, sudden reversals, and deep psychological tension.
