'I finished it in one sitting. Probably for the tenth time... it carries me along waves of wonder' Franz Kafka MICHAEL KOHLHAAS HAS BEEN WRONGED. HE WILL HAVE JUSTICE. Based on the real life of an ordinary horse-dealer cheated by a government official, Michael Kohlhaas is the darkly comical and magnificently weird story of one man's alienation from a corrupt legal system. When his attempts to claim his rights are thwarted by bureaucracy and nepotism, Kohlhaas vows to take justice into his own - increasingly bloody - hands. Will he be remembered as a dangerous enemy of the peace, or a vigilante hero? Praised by Franz Kafka, Thomas Mann, Susan Sontag, Roberto Bolaño, Werner Herzog, and J. M. Coetzee, this is one of the most influential tales in German literature. In this vital new translation by the renowned poet Michael Hofmann, Kleist's bizarre, brutal and maddening story is urgent today.

"You can send me to the scaffold, but I can make you suffer, and I mean to." Based on actual historic events, this thrilling saga of violence and retribution bridged the gap between medieval and modern literature, and speaks so profoundly to the contemporary spirit that it has been the basis of numerous plays, movies, and novels. It has become, in fact, a classic tale: that of the honorable man forced to take the law into his own hands. In this incendiary prototype, a minor tax dispute intensifies explosively, until the eponymous hero finds the forces of an entire kingdom, and even the great Martin Luther, gathered against him. But soon even Luther comes to echo the growing army of peasants asking, Isn’t Kohlhaas right? Widely acknowledged as one of the masterworks of German literature, Michael Kohlhaas is also one of the most stirring tales ever written of the quest for justice. The Art of The Novella Series Too short to be a novel, too long to be a short story, the novella is generally unrecognized by academics and publishers. Nonetheless, it is a form beloved and practiced by literature's greatest writers. In the Art Of The Novella series, Melville House celebrates this renegade art form and its practitioners with titles that are, in many instances, presented in book form for the first time.

"Michael Kohlhaas" is an engrossing work by the German author Heinrich von Kleist, based on a 16th-century story of Hans Kohlhase. According to early modern German versions, Kohlhase was a merchant whose grudge against a Saxon nobleman developed into a full-blown feud against the state of Saxony, thus violating the Eternal Peace of 1495. The movement ended in Kohlhase's execution in March 1540.

"Michael Kohlhaas" is Heinrich von Kleist's early 19th century novella based upon the real historical 16th century story of Hans Kohlhase. A German merchant from Colln, Kohlhase is attacked by the servants of a Saxon nobleman, Gunter von Zaschwitz, while he is on his way to a fair in Leipzig. As a result of the attack, Kohlhase has his horses stolen and subsequently suffers significant losses to his business. The dispute between Kohlhase and Zaschwitz soon develops into a full-blown feud that would spread across the whole of Saxony. Unable to achieve redress for his losses through official legal channels, Kohlhase pursued a course of revenge by enlisting a band of criminals to spread terror throughout all of Saxony. The particulars of Heinrich von Kleist's novella are somewhat changed from the actual historical events but largely represent the same conflict of a merchant who is wronged and being unable to achieve suitable restitution through legal channels resorts to criminal means. Noted for its surprisingly modern themes and style "Michael Kohlhaas" has been recognized as an important early work in the realist literary movement. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Not illustrated. 1875 edition. Excerpt: ... ACT I. Fehrbf.llin. A garden laid out in the old French style. Castle in background to which a flight of steps ascends. Time, night. Scene I. The Prince of Homburg is discovered sitting beneath an oak. He seems half asleep, half awake, and is engaged in twining a wreath. [Enter from the Castle, the Elector, his Consort, the Princess Nathalta, Count Hohenzollern, Captain Golz, and several others. They approach the railings and look down. Pages with torches. Count Hohenz. Yea, sire! our gallant cousin Frederick Has done his work; three days and nights he hung Upon the rear of these light-footed Swedes; 'Twas noon already past when he drew rein And halted his spent force at Fehrbellin. r And yet, methinks, your charge was positive; Three hours you left him for repose, and then You bade him push at once to Hackelberg? Wrangel is busy with entrenchments there And he should now, I think, be on his front. The Elector. So ran my orders! Count_HoHENZ. Well! I know what charge He gave his officers. By stroke of ten His troops were to be marshalled for the road. But, there, you see, he went to sleep. Hard by He found some straw, and set him to repair His war-worn strength, well knowing that the dawn Will break upon another bloody field. The Elector. Of that I am aware; say on. Count Hohenz. You know, I fancy, also that the hour has struck; His men are in the saddle now; their steeds Are pawing up the ground, outside the gates: -- But some one's wanting: whom, sire, do you think? No less a person than their soldier Prince! Out and around a crowd of people seek him With lights and torches: now they've found their hero; Can you guess where? Look down on yonder bench! [Hc takes a torch from a Page. You never would believe me; give but heed; The..
