Gedichte

"Nothing more of that, I beg you. Give him food, give him shelter; if you have covered his shame, dignity will assert itself." These verses are not from a 20th-century poet, but from Friedrich Schiller, whom Thomas Mann praised for his rebellious materialism and the wonderful "joy in the higher Indian game." A journey through this collection of Schiller's most beautiful and important poems reveals how vibrant his poetry is today. With a contribution from Kindler's Literary Encyclopedia. Includes information on life and work, exclusively written by the editorial team of the literary magazine TEXT + KRITIK.
