Michael Kohlhaas (English Translation)

by Heinrich von Kleist

Michael Kohlhaas is a gripping tale of a man's relentless pursuit of justice after suffering a grave injustice. Set in 16th-century Germany, the novella follows the titular character, a prosperous horse trader, whose life is thrown into chaos when two of his horses are seized by a corrupt nobleman. Driven by an unyielding determination to right this wrong, Kohlhaas embarks on a perilous quest for vengeance that spirals into a bloody and destructive conflict. Along the way, he grapples with the complexities of justice, the limits of the law, and the devastating consequences of his actions.
