Description

Ferdinand is an army major and son of President von Walter, a high-ranking noble in a German duke's court, while Luise Miller is the daughter of a middle-class musician. The couple fall in love with each other, but both their fathers tell them to end their affair. The story unfolds to show how cabal and their intrigue destroy the love between Ferdinand von Walter and Luise Miller.

Author

Friedrich Schiller (1759–1805) was the great dramatist of German liberty — The Robbers, Mary Stuart, Wilhelm Tell — and a poet-philosopher of the beautiful and the sublime. With Goethe he made Weimar a capital of letters. Schiller's plays turn history into moral weather: tyranny, honour, and the chance of a free people. With 22 titles in our catalogue, he remains a founding voice of European Romantic drama.
