Minna Von Barnhelm, Oder Das Soldatenglück: Lustspiel in Fünf Aufzügen (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Minna Von Barnhelm, Oder Das Soldatenglück: Lustspiel in Fünf AufzügenA German Grammar, and a Reader, with a Vocabulary on a somewhat new plan, was prepared, a few years ago, by the editor of the present series, in the hope of contribut ing something toward the advancement of German studies in this country. In reply to numerous and repeated soli citations, a compendious dictionary, on the plan of the Vocabulary to the Reader, has also recently been prepared. It has seemed desirable to add a series of texts for class use, with brief but careful annotation and explanation. For this purpose, texts have been selected which are already approved by long and frequent use. The notes and intro ductions to the several works are by difi'erent scholars, in various parts of the country but all under the guidance and revision of the general editor.fictional.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Laocoon: An Essay On the Limits of Painting and Poetry, Tr. by E.C. Beasley

Arts & Photography

Franklin Classics

According to Greek mythology, Laocoon was a Trojan priest who, along with his two sons, offended the gods. As punishment, the three were strangled by sea serpents. The discovery in 1506 of an ancient Greek sculpture showing the three figures in their death agony not only gave rise to renewed interest in the classical period but also created repercussions in the art world. It was this work of art that German dramatist and critic Gotthold Lessing used as a point of reference for his essay Laocoon. Originally published in 1766, Lessing's inspired meditation on the distinguishing characteristics of painting and poetry became a turning point in the study of Western art. His essay on the origins, forms, and influences of these art forms aided in framing modern conceptions of the artistic medium and helped establish modernist views of the uniqueness of the individual arts. A breakthrough vision in aesthetics, Laocoon is essential reading for anyone interested in poetry, art history, and the fine arts.

A Jewish merchant, a Muslim sultan, and a young Templar knight transcend the differences in their faiths in this play's moving plea for religious tolerance and cooperation amongst Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Set in Jerusalem during the Third Crusade, the Enlightenment-era drama explores timeless considerations that range from the nature of God to the conflict between love and duty and the importance of unity amid division and diversity. Nathan the Wise (Nathan der Weise) was published in Germany in 1779, although its performance was forbidden by the church during the lifetime of author Gotthold Ephraim Lessing. The highly influential play had its 1783 premiere in Berlin and has since been translated into many languages and adapted for performances around the world.
