«Lenz» is the short novel by Georg Büchner, published by Nórdica Libros in paperback (80 pages, in Spanish).
The story opens like a report: «El 20 de enero Lenz caminaba por la sierra». From there it follows the playwright Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz through a mental collapse as he crosses the mountain, in dense prose that fuses the author's compassion with his character. It is considered a precursor of expressionism and anticipates a sensibility Friedrich Nietzsche would call nihilism.
Illustrated edition by Alfred Hrdlicka and includes three extracts by Johann Wolfgang Goethe about Lenz. Part of the Mini-Ilustrados collection (number 7).
Recommended for readers interested in German classics, illustrated narrative and works that anticipate expressionism.
Karl Georg Büchner was a German dramatist and writer of poetry and prose, considered part of the Young Germany movement. He was also a revolutionary and the brother of physician and philosopher Ludwig Büchner. His literary achievements, though limited by his death at age 23, are generally held in great esteem in Germany. Despite his brief career, his plays profoundly influenced naturalism, expressionism, and later developments in European theater.
