About this ebook

Der geistig erkrankte Schrifsteller Lenz begibt sich auf die Reise in das kleine Bergdorf Waldbach, wo er sich in die Obhut des Pfarrers Oberlin begibt. Die Nähe seines Seelsorgers und die Ruhe des Tales wirken sich zunächst wohltuend auf Lenz aus. Doch auch Oberlin kann nicht verhindern, dass Lenz immer tiefer in den Wahnsinn abgleitet.

Büchners pychologische Erzählung erschien im Jahre 1839. Auf eindrucksvolle Weise beschreibt sie die Etappen der psychischen Erkrankung Lenz‘. Arnold Zweig sah in dieser Erzählung den Beginn der modernen europäischen Prosa: „kein Franzose und kein Russe legt moderner einen seelischen Sachverhalt offen hin“, schrieb Arnold Zweig.

Georg Büchner

Karl Georg Büchner (17 October 1813 – 19 February 1837) was a German dramatist and writer of poetry and prose. He was also a revolutionary, a natural scientist, and the brother of physician and philosopher Ludwig Büchner. He was a major forerunner of the Expressionist school of playwriting of the early 20th century and his work voiced the disillusionment of many artists and intellectuals after World War I. He is now recognised as one of the outstanding figures in German dramatic literature and it is widely believed that, had it not been for his early death, he might have joined such central German literary figures as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Schiller at the summit of their profession. His works include Woyzeck, left incomplete at the time of this death; his first play, Danton's Death, and the comedy Leonce and Lena.
