Description Toward Books Nathan der Weise

Gotthold Ephraim Lessings Nathan der Weise (1779 erschienen und 1783 uraufgeführt) ist eines der zentralen Werke der deutschen Aufklärung. Der Text, der sich mit seiner Bezeichnung als "dramatisches Gedicht" der Festlegung auf eine der dramatischen Gattungen entzieht, trug wesentlich dazu bei, den Blankvers als den klassischen deutschen Dramenvers zu etablieren. Mit seinem Nathan reagierte Lessing auf die religiöse Orthodoxie und Intoleranz seiner Zeit. Ort der Handlung ist Jerusalem während der Kreuzzüge – eine Stadt, in der Christentum, Islam und Judentum direkt aufeinandertreffen. Höhepunkt des Stücks, in dem es um eine moral- und geschichtsphilosophische Botschaft, um die Aufforderung zu Toleranz und Humanität geht, ist die berühmte Ringparabel, die der reiche jüdische Kaufmann Nathan erzählt: Sie soll die hintergründige Frage des Sultans Saladin beantworten, welche der drei Religionen die wahre sei. Nathans Antwort ist die Forderung nach einem gleichberechtigten Nebeneinander aller Religionen.

Appraise Containing Books Nathan der Weise
Nathan der Weise was an amazing book overall. The characters were fleshed out so well and the book was set up in a clear and concise way. However, I can't really agree with the ending. It came out of nowhere and took away from the main issue by simply joining everyone by blood. I feel as though if the book had ended with a scene where everyone makes a decision to become family/friends it would have had more of an impact in general. As that would be breaking through the barriers of religion

Huh, not the wisest strategy to name your son after a novel before reading it.Fortunately for me the book is good. A nice allegory about religion that still holds up today. Sometimes it felt very strange to speak about it in public since a lot of the vocabulary would be considered incorrect nowadays.The ending especially is a nice conclusion that fitted the content of the book well.

Had to read it for school in 8th grade AND in 12th grade. In 8th grade I hated it. When I reread (actually I didn't read the whole book in 8th grade) some years later I thought it was okay. It has some unexpected twists at the end and a nice philosophy about tolerance and religion.(oh and I remember calling him "Satan der Heiße" instead :P)

It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be when I started it, the language is a bit hard even for germans, but the storyline wasn't bad. Had some really smart sayings in it. The ending was trash tho so three stars

In some ways you could not ask for a better and nobler representative of the Enlightenment than Gotthold Ephraim Lessing in his "Nathan, the Wise" (1779). That is at least my initial, current impression of Lessing. In the face of the atrocious anti-Semitic caricatures and treatment of Jews by professing Christians that would eventually fester into Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, Lessing portrays a Jewish character who is humane and generous. In a way similar to Shakespeare, Lessing gives a more

Another timely little nugget aus Deustschland. And much shorter than the Quran. ________Set in Jerusalem around those crusaderish times, Nathan der Weise is read by every little German Gymnasium student as a lesson in tolerance. Those who discover they can tolerate each other are Muslim, Jew, and Christian. Were it written today we'd have to throw in that most intolerant believer, the atheist. But I think we could do it!

At first, it was really hard to get into it and I had to read it for school, and since the books I've read for school were mostly really bad I had no high expectaions.But this book was amazing. I found myself getting really into the story and noticing that I didn't even mind the complicated writing style. I liked the characters, I liked how the story developed, hopefully all the work I'll have to do for school about this book won't destroy my viewpoint.
