About this book

"Wilhelm Tell" by Friedrich Schiller is a drama written in 1804. Set during Switzerland's struggle for independence from the Habsburg Empire in the early 14th century, the play follows legendary marksman William Tell as he faces the tyrannical Governor Gessler. When Tell refuses to bow to the governor's cap, he's forced into an impossible choice: shoot an apple from his own son's head or face execution. This act of cruelty ignites a wider rebellion among the oppressed Swiss people seeking freedom from their brutal overlord.
