Lenz
of Georg BĂŒchner, Richard Sieburth (Translator), Johann Friedrich Oberlin, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Description
Lenz, Georg BĂŒchnerâs visionary exploration of an 18th century playwrightâs descent into madness, grew in part out of Alsatian pastor Johann Oberlinâs journal, which is translated here in its entirety for the first time. Lenz is a dispassionate account on the nervous system of a schizophrenic, perhaps the first third-person text ever written from the âinsideâ of insanity. At his death at the age of 23 in 1837, Georg BĂŒchner also left behind Leonce and Lena, Woyzeck, and Dantonâs Deathâpsychologically and politically acute plays well ahead of their time.Richard Sieburthâs translations include Hölderlinâs Hymns and Fragments, Walter Benjaminâs Moscow Diary, GĂ©rard de Nervalâs Selected Writings and Henri Michauxâs Emergences/Resurgences. His English edition of the Nerval writings won the 2000 PEN Book-of-the-Month-Club Translation Prize.
