De qué trata este libro

The Robbers is a tragedy by Friedrich Schiller about two brothers: Karl Moor, who becomes an outlaw, and Franz, who schemes to seize their father's power and property. People still read it for its fierce family conflict and its unsettling question of whether rebellion against injustice can avoid becoming another form of cruelty.

Idea clave 1 de 5

Karl Moor is a young man whose reckless life has taken him away from his wealthy father's home. He longs for forgiveness and hopes to return to his father and to Amalia, the woman he loves. His younger brother Franz sees that longing as an opportunity. Resentful of Karl's place in the family, Franz uses false reports and a deceptive letter to make father and son believe the worst of each other.
