Publisher Description
“The Criminal from Lost Honour” is written in the form of a crime report, and is notable as an early attempt at psychological analysis of the criminal Christian Wolf. In particular, Schiller delves into the impact of early experiences, rejections, and humiliations on the descent on the man from honest publican to criminal and murderer. But despite the psychological analysis, Schiller’s racy fast-paced prose as he narrates how Wolf is catapulted from one turning point in his life to the next, draws the listener irresistibly into the story and grips their attention right through to the last astonishing scene.

About Friedrich Schiller
Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller (1759–1805) was a German poet, philosopher, historian, and playwright. During the last seventeen years of his life Schiller struck up a productive, if complicated, friendship with already famous and influential Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. They frequently discussed issues concerning aesthetics, and Schiller encouraged Goethe to finish works he left as sketches. This relationship and these discussions led to a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism. They also worked together on Xenien, a collection of short satirical poems in which both Schiller and Goethe challenge opponents to their philosophical vision.
