'Michael Kohlhaas' Summary
Michael Kohlhaas, ein wohlhabender und angesehene Rosshändler, gerät in Konflikt mit der Obrigkeit, als seine Pferde unrechtmäßig beschlagnahmt und ihm nicht nur ein finanzieller Schaden zugefügt wird, sondern auch die Ehre genommen wird. Kohlhaas kämpft mit allen Mitteln für Recht und Gerechtigkeit, doch er wird von den Behörden ignoriert und verhöhnt. In seiner Verzweiflung ergreift er die Waffe und schaltet sich selbst zum Rächer, um für die Übertretungen der Obrigkeit zu sorgen. Sein Kampf für Gerechtigkeit führt zu einer Eskalation der Gewalt und einem tragischen Ende, das die Grenzen von Recht und Moral in Frage stellt.Book Details
