Participants explore one of the most famous works of German literature in this virtual class over the course of 4 weekly sessions. We recommend a speaking proficiency level of at least B2. Participants will work with the original text during class. Please obtain this edition as a free Kindle e-book, or in paperback form.

Note that this text was originally published in 1888. The language may therefore be challenging for those whose experiences and studies mainly involve contemporary German. To facilitate comprehension and increase reading satisfaction, participants may find this simplified edition for learners of German helpful.
