MICHAEL KOHLHAAS - HEINRICH VON KLEIST KARTONIE...

'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.
