Description
The Piccolomini, also known as The First Part of Wallenstein, is a five-act drama written by Frederick Schiller and first published in 1800. The play is set during the Thirty Years' War, a conflict that devastated Europe in the 17th century. The story revolves around the character of Wallenstein, a powerful military commander who is loyal to the Holy Roman Emperor but also harbors ambitions of his own.The play begins with Wallenstein's trusted advisor, Octavio Piccolomini, arriving at the general's headquarters to inform him of a conspiracy against him. Wallenstein is initially skeptical but eventually comes to believe that his own subordinates are plotting against him. As the drama unfolds, Wallenstein must navigate a complex web of political intrigue and personal ambition, all while fighting to maintain his position of power.The Piccolomini is a gripping and intense drama that explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the corrupting influence of power. Schiller's masterful use of language and his ability to create complex and nuanced characters make this play a timeless classic of German literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
