Description
Fiesco is a historical play written by Friedrich von Schiller, a German playwright and poet, and first published in 1783. The play is set in the Italian city-state of Genoa in the 16th century and tells the story of the conspiracy of Andrea Doria's nephew, Gianettino Doria, against the ruling doge, Andrea Grimaldi. The central character of the play is Count Fiesco, a nobleman who is ambitious and determined to overthrow the doge and seize power for himself. He is aided in his plot by a group of conspirators, including the beautiful and cunning Leonora, who is Fiesco's lover and also the wife of Gianettino Doria. The play is a complex drama that explores themes of power, ambition, betrayal, and love. It is also a political commentary on the corrupt and oppressive nature of the ruling class in Genoa during the Renaissance period. Schiller's writing is characterized by its poetic language and its ability to create vivid and complex characters. Fiesco is no exception, with its richly drawn characters and intricate plot. The play is a masterpiece of German literature and remains a popular work in the canon of European drama.MOOR. The next are spies and informers--tools of importance to the great, who from their secret information derive their own supposed omniscience. These villains insinuate themselves into the souls of men like leeches; they draw poison from the heart, and spit it forth against the very source from whence it came.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
