About this listen

Step into the world of Michael Kohlhaas, an enthralling novella penned by Heinrich von Kleist in 1811, inspired by the true story of Hans Kohlhase from the 16th century. This powerful tale explores the intense and fanatical pursuit of justice, while its unique style blends existentialist detachment with the feel of a historical chronicle. Its modern themes and emotional depth have echoed through the ages, influencing writers and thinkers long after its publication. Notably, Franz Kafka was so moved by this work that he dedicated one of his rare public appearances to reading from it, proclaiming it brought him to tears and filled him with enthusiasm.
