Publisher's Synopsis
Wallenstein's Camp is a collection of poems written by German poet, playwright, and philosopher Friedrich Schiller. The collection was originally published in 1799 and was later translated into English in 1830. The poems are set during the Thirty Years' War and focus on the character of Wallenstein, a military leader who played a significant role in the conflict. The collection is divided into three parts: Wallenstein's Camp, Piccolomini, and Death of Wallenstein. The poems offer a vivid portrayal of the war and its impact on the people involved, as well as exploring themes of power, loyalty, and betrayal. Schiller's use of language and imagery creates a powerful and evocative picture of the chaos and violence of war, while also exploring the human emotions and experiences that underlie it. Wallenstein's Camp is a classic work of German literature and a powerful exploration of the human condition in times of conflict.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
