About this book

"Wilhelm Tell" by Friedrich Schiller is a drama written in 1804. Set during Switzerland's fight for independence from Habsburg tyranny in the early 14th century, the play follows legendary marksman William Tell as he confronts the brutal Governor Gessler. When Tell refuses to bow to the tyrant's symbol of power, he faces a horrifying test: shoot an apple from his own son's head or face death. This act of cruelty ignites a powder keg of rebellion among the oppressed Swiss people seeking freedom.
