Cheated of two horses by a petty nobleman and denied justice by every court and prince he petitions, Kohlhaas at last takes the law into his own hands, and his righteous fury sets a whole country ablaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten in 1810 and drawn from a real chronicle, Heinrich von Kleist’s \u003cem\u003eMichael Kohlhaas\u003c\/em\u003e is the definitive tale of wrath, a hard, headlong, unbearably modern study of an ordinary man who would rather see the world burn than let an injustice stand.
