Description

""The Parasite or The Art to Make One's Fortune"" is a comedic play written by Friedrich Schiller in 1856. The story follows the character of Baron von Fink, a penniless nobleman who is desperate to improve his financial situation. He becomes a parasite, attaching himself to wealthy families and taking advantage of their generosity. However, his plans are complicated when he falls in love with the daughter of one of his hosts. The play explores themes of greed, deceit, and the pursuit of wealth. It is written in five acts and is considered one of Schiller's lesser-known works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
