Fiesco; or, The Genoese Conspiracy

Meer over het boek

The book explores the complex friendship between Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe during the last seventeen years of Schiller's life. Their discussions on aesthetics and philosophy contributed to the Weimar Classicism movement. Schiller's encouragement helped Goethe complete unfinished works, and together they produced "Xenien," a collection of satirical poems that challenged their philosophical adversaries. This collaboration not only shaped their literary legacies but also enriched German literature as a whole.
