Excerpt from Der Zerbrochene Krug: Novelle
The life of Zschokke was one of remarkably varied activity and achievment. Besides his very considerable literary work he was laborious and conspicuous as educator, as editor, as statesman, patriot and philanthropist. He combined large idealism and spirituality with practical judgment and great energy of character. His long life was devoted earnestly and unselfishly to the good of mankind and his name, though not of the most illustrious, is highly and widely honored in Switzerland and in Germany. Such a biography is of unique interest, but here only a very brief sketch will be presented.
