Description

Within The Marquise of O-, a virtuous widow finds himself unaccountably expectant. And she must prove her innocence to her questioning household, even though puzzled Marquise doesn't have idea when this occurred and uncover if the criminal is definitely an attacker or enthusiast. Michael Kohlhaas represents an honourable gentleman who feels forced to break what the law states in his look for justice, while additional stories discover the single world of the uncanny, like the Beggarwoman of Locarno, in which a classic lady's cat pushes a heartless nobleman to chaos, and E Cecilia, which shows four siblings held by a huge religious mania. The stories collected in this volume reflect the preoccupations of Heinrich von Kleist (1777-1811) using the deceptiveness of human nature and the unpredictability of the actual planet.
