The Ghost-Seer, and Sport of Destiny

More about the book

The complex friendship between Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe during the last seventeen years of Schiller's life significantly influenced the cultural landscape of their time. Their discussions on aesthetics fostered the movement known as Weimar Classicism. Schiller not only motivated Goethe to complete unfinished works but also collaborated on "Xenien," a collection of satirical poems that confront their philosophical adversaries. This partnership exemplifies the dynamic interplay between their ideas and artistic expressions.
