Description

The Marquise of O and Other Stories by Heinrich Von Kleist A collection of late stories from a writer of singular talent, these works showcase the tragic and isolated genius of Heinrich Von Kleist. Spanning nearly a decade, from his departure from the Prussian Army in 1799 to his suicide in 1811, Kleist's writing developed into a unique and powerful voice. This collection includes some of Kleist's most famous works, such as 'The Earthquake in Chile' and 'Michael Kohlhaas', alongside lesser-known pieces like 'The Beggarwoman of Locarno' and 'The Duel'. With its focus on the human experience and the complexities of life, this book offers a glimpse into the mind of a literary giant.
