Wilhelm Tell : Viisinäytöksinen näytelmä by Friedrich Schiller

"Wilhelm Tell: Viisinäytöksinen näytelmä" by Friedrich Schiller is a drama written in 1804. Set during the early 14th-century Swiss struggle for independence from the Habsburg Empire, it follows legendary marksman William Tell as he confronts the tyrannical Governor Gessler. When Tell refuses to bow to the governor's cap, he faces a horrifying test: shoot an apple from his own son's head or face execution. This act of cruelty ignites a broader rebellion among the Swiss people, forcing Tell to choose between individualism and joining the fight for freedom. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
