5.0 out of 5 stars
One of worlds masterpieces,
By Lissy Kowalski (Berlin, Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nathan the Wise, Minna von Barnhelm, and Other Plays and Writings: Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (German Library) (Paperback)
"Nathan the Wise" is one of the greatest and wisest dramas I ever read, not only the picturesque and interesting backround but also the wise, idealistic and forwardlooking image that the author produces makes the drama worth being read by everybody. Lessing wrote this drama two-hundred years ago and that fact makes it even more interesting to see the message that it tries to spread, because in our-days-world the demand for humanity and tolerance is more important than ever.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A masterpiece that every educated person should read,
This review is from: Nathan the Wise, Minna von Barnhelm, and Other Plays and Writings: Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (German Library) (Paperback)
Lessing's drama "Nathan the Wise" published in 1779 is a truly brilliant book and contains a message of unmesurable value that is still current today. Not only is it enlightening through its intelligent dialogues and carefully created characters but also entertaining and educating. This masterpiece should have its spot in everyone's liberary.
