"The sense of justice made him a robber and murderer." Heinrich von Kleist tells the fate of the horse trader Kohlhaas, who in a bloody vendetta takes revenge for injustice suffered. But instead of restoring the order of the laws, he plunges himself and those around him into hopeless chaos. Based on true events, Kleist's famous novella tells of a failed tightrope walk between justice and vigilante justice in a manner that is as stirring as it is rigorous.
