Story
In this volume we examine the German language. Or rather the authors who wrote in German but are here translated into English. German is most often called the language of philosophers due to its precision and clarity. However, if you’ve studied German, you will know that sentence construction can be difficult to grasp. However, within these stories the language of these great talents express themselves in dazzling prose and searching narratives. And the characters? Clearly the works of genius.

Inspiriert von der wahren Geschichte des Hans Kohlhase, der 1540 nach einem Konflikt mit dem Junker Günther von Zaschwitz zum Tode verurteilt wurde, schrieb Kleist seinen "Michael Kohlhaas". Als seine Pferde unrechtmäßig beschlagnahmt werden, erklärt der betrogene Pferdehändler dem Junker die Fehde und beginnt einen blutigen Rachefeldzug - wohlwissend, dass er diesen Kampf nicht gewinnen kann.

Story
The German peoples spent centuries as tribes and regions without being a whole. Otto von Bismarck was instrumental in unifying these central European states into one country albeit based on the militaristic doctrine of Prussia. In the 20th Century its history was blighted by its capacity to resort to war to fulfill its ambitions, or right its perceived historical wrongs. In this volume the short stories by its greatest authors readily attest that their talents are equal to the greatest in World literature.

Bei ihrem Erscheinen wegen der angedeuteten Vergewaltigung als Skandalgeschichte empfunden, gilt die Novelle "Die Marquise von O..." heute als frühes Beispiel weiblicher Emanzipation. Am Schicksal der Marquise, die in einem existenziellen Konflikt zu sich selbst findet und Selbstständigkeit gewinnt, hinterfragt Heinrich von Kleist traditionelle Werte und die Konventionen familiären Lebens. Inhalt: Die Marquise von O..., die seit dem Tod ihres Mannes mit ihren Kindern wieder bei ihren Eltern in einer Stadt in Oberitalien lebt, wird schwanger, ohne zu wissen, wie sie das Kind empfangen hat.

Story
Über die allmähliche Verfertigung der Gedanken beim Reden ist ein Aufsatz des Schriftstellers Heinrich von Kleist, der wahrscheinlich in dessen Königsberger Zeit (1805-06) entstand. Die Schrift war wohl entweder für die Zeitschrift Phöbus oder für das Morgenblatt für gebildete Stände bestimmt, wurde aber erst postum in der Zeitschrift von Paul Lindau (Hg.) Nord und Süd, 1878, Bd. 4, S. 3-7, veröffentlicht. Das Autograph ist verschollen, eine Kopie mit Korrekturen Kleists, die bis 1938 noch vorlag, unterdessen auch.

"Michael Kohlhaas" gehört zu den großartigsten Werken der deutschen Literatur. Im Mittelpunkt dieser umfangreichen Erzählung steht die höchst aktuelle Frage, ob und wieweit einem Menschen Widerstand gegen die willkürliche Handhabung des Rechts durch die herrschenden erlaubt ist. Bis in die Sphäre des Wunderbaren treibt Kleist die Spirale der Mächte, mit denen Kohlhaas kämpft und denen er mit der ganzen Unbedingtheit des Individuums widersteht.

Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....
