The Robbers is a famous play written by Friedrich Von Schiller, a German poet, playwright, and philosopher. The play was first published in 1781 and was an instant success. The Robbers is a story of two brothers, Karl and Franz, who have taken different paths in life. Karl is a noble and honorable man, while Franz is a ruthless and power-hungry individual. Franz, who is jealous of Karl, convinces their father that Karl is plotting against him, and as a result, Karl is disinherited. Karl, who is now destitute, joins a group of robbers and becomes their leader. The play is a story of love, betrayal, and revenge. It explores themes such as the corrupting influence of power, the struggle between good and evil, and the importance of family. The Robbers is considered one of Schiller's masterpieces and is still widely read and performed today.SPIEGEL. Honest, say you? Do you think you'll be less honest then than you are now? What do you call honest? To relieve rich misers of half of those cares which only scare golden sleep from their eyelids; to force hoarded coin into circulation; to restore the equalization of property; in one word, to bring back the golden age; to relieve Providence of many a burdensome pensioner, and so save it the trouble of sending war, pestilence, famine, and above all, doctors--that is what I call honesty, d'ye see; that's what I call being a worthy instrument in the hand of Providence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
