The Piccolomini: A Play by Friedrich Schiller
"The Piccolomini: A Play" by Friedrich Schiller is a drama completed in 1799. As the second part of Schiller's Wallenstein trilogy, it plunges into the dangerous intrigues surrounding General Albrecht von Wallenstein during the Thirty Years' War. Secret negotiations with enemy forces, forged loyalty documents, and imperial spies create a web of treachery among military commanders. At the drama's heart lies a forbidden love between Max Piccolomini and Wallenstein's daughter Thekla, threatened
by mounting political betrayal and conflicting allegiances that will determine the fate of an empire. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
