«Michael Kohlhaas» is the historical novel by Heinrich von Kleist, published by Distribooks Inc in paperback (159 pages, in German).
Michael Kohlhaas, a 16th-century horse trader, suffers an injustice that drives him to seek justice on his own. What begins as a legal claim turns into a violent conflict in Reformation-era Brandenburg, and the work raises questions about law, morality, and the abuse of power.
Work originally published in 1810; this German edition appeared in 1997 in the «Bibliothek der Erstausgaben» collection.
