Description

Michael Kohlhaas Newly Translated by Michael Hofmann A darkly comical and strangely compelling tale of one man's struggle against a corrupt system. Based on the true story of an ordinary horse-dealer wronged by government officials, this 19th-century novel follows Michael Kohlhaas as he seeks justice through increasingly violent means. As Kohlhaas' attempts to claim his rights are thwarted by bureaucracy and nepotism, he becomes a force to be reckoned with. Will he be remembered as a dangerous enemy of the peace or a vigilante hero? This influential tale, praised by notable writers, is a powerful exploration of alienation and the human desire for justice. In this vital new translation, Michael Hofmann brings Kleist's bizarre and brutal story to life, making it urgent reading today.
