All Friedrich Schiller

Freidrich Schiller - German poet, philosopher, art theorist and playwright, professor of history and military physician, representative of the directions "Storm and Stress" and Romanticism (in a narrower sense, its Germanic trend) in literature, author of "Ode to Joy", modified version which became the text of the anthem of the European Union. He entered the history of world literature as a fiery humanist. During the last seventeen years of his life he was friends with Johann Goethe, whom he inspired to complete his works, which remained in draft form. This period of friendship between the two poets and their literary controversy entered German literature under the name "Weimar Classicism."
