5.0 out of 5 stars A real classic., December 21, 2002

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Michael Kohlhaas: Berlin 1810 (German Edition) (Paperback)
The eminent modern story of a man who suffers injustice, and takes the law in his own hands to do himself justice, for the man who did him wrong, has friends in high places.
He seeks revenge by establishing a private army, gets the support of the population and becomes a threat for the whole establishment. The outcome is brutal.

The story develops as an unstoppable stream of first, verbal, then, violent clashes.
Kleist cleverly heightens the tension by using sophisticated legal advisers (Luther) and coincidences.

A compelling read about the theme 'justice/injustice'.
