Reineke Fuchs by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Reineke Fuchs" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is an epic poem written in 1793. Set in a royal court populated entirely by animals, this hexameter verse tale follows Reineke the fox, a cunning trickster accused of countless crimes against his fellow courtiers. When summoned to answer charges including theft, deception, and assault, Reineke outwits every messenger sent to fetch him. As his enemies demand execution, the clever fox must rely on his
gift for manipulation to escape the hangman's noose and turn the tables on those who would condemn him. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
