Kabale und Liebe

Maria Stuart

Friedrich Schillers im Jahr 1800 uraufgeführtes und 1801 publiziertes Trauerspiel in fünf Akten quot, Maria Stuartquot, gilt aufgrund seines vollendeten Aufbaus als Musterbeispiel des klassischen deutschen Dramas. Das Werk spielt in England im Jahr 1587. Schiller spitzt den Konflikt zwischen zwei grossen, gegensätzlichen Frauen zu: Königin Elisabeth I. von England und ihre Rivalin um den Thron, die schottische Königin Maria Stuart. Anstatt sich allzu streng an die historischen Fakten zu halten, fügt er zusätzliche Figuren (etwa Mortimer) und Begebenheiten hinzu, damit verleiht er der an drei Tagen stattfindenden Handlung mehr Leben und Spannung, etwa durch die Begegnung der beiden Königinnen im dritten Akt, dem Höhepunkt von Schillers erfolgreichem Drama. Text aus Reclams Universal-Bibliothek mit Verszählung der gedruckten Ausgabe.

Trauerspiel in fünf Aufzügen

Kabale Und Liebe

Reginald Snell

A classic of 18th-century thought, Schiller’s treatise on the role of art in society ranks among German philosophy’s most profound works. An important contribution to the history of ideas, it employs a political analysis of contemporary society—and of the French Revolution, in particular—to define the relationship between beauty and art. Schiller’s proposal of art as fundamental to the development of society and the individual remains an influential concept, and this volume offers his philosophy’s clearest, most relevant expression. Translated and with an introduction by Reginald Snell.

Der Verbrecher Aus Verlorener Ehre

Friedrich Schiller was a famous German playwright, born in 1759 in the little duchy of Württemberg, Germany. Friedrich von Schiller was the son of an army officer. Although the young boy disliked the strict regimentation of his father's chosen profession, he was forced by the Duke of Württemberg to enter a military academy. Trapped and overcome with depression, Schiller began to compose morbid poetry. He found some comfort in these literary diversions, but after composing his first play - The Robbers (1782) -Schiller's writing was discovered by his superiors, and he was forbidden to write. The young dramatist quickly determined to desert the army and flee to Mannheim where he lived under an assumed name and made his living as a court playwright and stage manager. During this period, he penned such plays as Fiesko (1783), Intrigue and Love (1784) and Don Carlos (1787). Between 1787 and 1798, Schiller wrote no plays, instead devoting himself to historical studies - The Revolt of the Netherlands and A History of the Thirty Years War - that won him fame as a historian. In 1794, however, Schiller established a close friendship with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Under Goethe's influence, Schiller soon returned his attentions to the craft of playwriting and, during the period that followed, composed his most mature dramas including Wallenstein's Camp (1798), The Piccolomini (1799), Wallenstein's Death (1799), Mary Stuart (1800), The Maid of Orleans (1801), and William Tell (1804.) In 1799, he took up residence in Weimar where he and Goethe collaborated to make the Weimar Theatre one of the most prestigious theatrical houses in Germany. On May 9, 1805, Friedrich Schiller died of tuberculosis. He was only forty-six years old. His plays, however, along with those of Goethe, had established a theatrical renaissance in Germany, which would become known as "Weimar Classicism." For more than a century after his death, Schiller remained the favorite playwright of the German people.

Poems of Schiller

Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) was one of the most influential of all playwrights, the author of deeply moving dramas that explored human fears, desires and ideals. Written at the age of twenty-one, The Robbers was his first play. A passionate consideration of liberty, fraternity and deep betrayal, it quickly established his fame throughout Germany and wider Europe. Wallenstein, produced nineteen years later, is regarded as Schiller’s masterpiece: a deeply moving exploration of a flawed general’s struggle to bring the Thirty Years War to an end against the will of his Emperor. Depicting the deep corruption caused by constant fighting between Protestants and Catholics, it is at once a meditation on the unbounded possible strength of humanity, and a tragic recognition of what can happen when men allow themselves to be weak.

Hayaletgören

German poet and philosopher Friedrich Schiller s famous text on art, politics, and society "The artist is certainly the child of his age, but all the worse for him if he is at the same time its pupil, even worse its minion. " One of the most profound works of German philosophy, Friedrich Schiller s "On the Aesthetic Education of Man "examines politics, revolution, and the history of ideas in order argue that art should have a greater role in shaping society. Deeply disillusioned with the course of the French Revolution, Schiller expressed his complaints in a series of letters to a patron, an impassioned attempt to drag mankind upward from failure to greatness by placing ideas of aesthetic education at the heart of the human experience: Our era has actually taken both wrong turnings, and has fallen prey to coarseness on the one path, lethargy and perversity on the other. Having strayed along both paths, it is beauty that can lead [us] back. One of Germany s greatest political statements from a time of revolutionary change, Schiller s arguments are as arresting, challenging, and inspiring today as when they were first written."

Die berühmte Ballade von F. Schiller erzählt von einer schönen Dame, die im Löwengarten ihren Handschuh fallen lässt und einen ihr ergebenen Ritter veranlasst, den Handschuh aus der Mitte der gefährlichen Raubtiere wieder heraufzuholen.

Der Handschuh

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

This translation of the correspondence between the two most famous German authors, Goethe (1749-1832) and Schiller (1754-1805), contains over one thousand mostly very long letters on a great variety of literary topics of the day. The authors jointly edited a famous literary journal in which most of the contemporary writers published. Some portions of the "Correspondence" refer to these authors and their works to be published. More importantly, they discussed each other's work in progress criticizing it and making suggestions for changes. Since this was both authors' most creative period, the many letters referring to their works give a very valuable and rich critical insight into those works. The letters abound in philosophical and esthetic ideas of the period.
