About The Author
Friedrich Schiller
Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) was one of the greatest playwrights, poets, philosophers and historians writing in German. Some of the most productive years of his short life were spent in Jena and Weimar, where his creative friendship with Goethe has taken on a mythic status. His poem ‘Ode to Joy’ became the basis for the finale of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and is now the European Union’s anthem.
