The first book includes four works by Heinrich von Kleist, presenting him as a multifaceted and versatile author. Among them is the famous comedy The Broken Jug, in which Kleist shows himself to be a master of subtle humor, word-creation and wordplay, skillfully combining the biblical context with the "salty" folk wisdom; the historical drama Prince Friedrich von Homburg, in which the writer reveals himself as a subtle psychologist and expert on the heart, skillfully examining such antitheses and dichotomies as a romantic personality and the fate of the fatherland, a thirst for life and selfless valor, a sense of duty and an inspired impulse; as well as the tragedy on an ancient plot Penthesilea, presenting in a new key the story of the hero Achilles and the Amazon in love with him. Finally, the publication includes the essay "On the Puppet Theater" - one of the most important texts of G. von Kleist, in which classical German philosophy is combined with psychological searches that anticipate the theories of the 20th century.

The second book consists of magnificent illustrations to the works of G. von Kleist - sixteen complete sets, the works of artists and graphic artists who embodied the multifaceted amazing worlds created by the German romantic.
