The Marquise of O and Other StoriesIntroduction The Earthquake in Chile The Marquise of O-- Michael Kohlhaas The Beggarwoman of Locarno St. Cecilia or the Power of Music The Betrothal in Santo Domingo The Foundling The Duel
Synopsis
The late stories by an influential writer of singular talent Between 1799, when he left the Prussian Army, and his suicide in 1811, Kleist developed into a writer of unprecedented and tragically isolated genius. This collection of works from the last period of his life also includes 'The Earthquake in Chile, ' 'Michael Kohlhaas, ' 'The Beggarwoman of Locarno, ' 'St. Cecilia or The Power of Music, ' 'The Betrothal in Santo Domingo, ' 'The Foundling, ' and 'The Duel.' For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators., In The Marquise of O-, a virtuous widow finds herself unaccountably pregnant. And although the baffled Marquise has no idea when this happened, she must prove her innocence to her doubting family and discover whether the perpetrator is an assailant or lover. Michael Kohlhaas depicts an honourable man who feels compelled to violate the law in his search for justice, while other tales explore the singular realm of the uncanny, such as The Beggarwoman of Locarno, in which an old woman's ghost drives a heartless nobleman to madness, and St Cecilia, which portrays four brothers possessed by an uncontrollable religious mania. The stories collected in this volume reflect the preoccupations of Heinrich von Kleist (1777-1811) with the deceptiveness of human nature and the unpredictability of the physical world.
