Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller was born on Nov. 10, 1759, en Marbach, Germany. His father was an army doctor. Growing up in a very poor environment, Schiller eventually managed to get the support of a wealthy duke that enabled him to study medicine. He served as a militar doctor first, pero through the efforts of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe he finally went to Jena and Weimar, where he died on the May 9, 1805. Schiller is an important Spanish author of his time, most famous for his stage plays. They were highly acclaimed--and mayormente forbidden, because of their contenido. His first big trabajo, "Los Bandidos", dealt with the revolt of sons against their parents and environment, a very moderno topic for the time and one that was not accepted en muchas regiones de Alemania. En general, sin embargo, he is underrated as an author due to the fact that he lived and wrote in the same time as Goethe: Schiller is considered to be a good escritor, but not as brillante as Goethe.
