Franz Kafka's novel "Michael Kohlhaas Has Been Wronged" is a darkly comical and magnificently weird story of one man's alienation from a corrupt legal system. Based on the real life of an ordinary horse-dealer cheated by a government official, Kohlhaas vows to take justice into his own - increasingly bloody - hands when his attempts to claim his rights are thwarted by bureaucracy and nepotism. Praised by Franz Kafka, Thomas Mann, Susan Sontag, Roberto Bolaño, Werner Herzog, and J. M. Coetzee, this is one of the most influential tales in German literature. In this vital new translation by the renowned poet Michael Hofmann, Kleist's bizarre, brutal, and maddening story is urgent today.
