This is the play that made Tell a Swiss national hero

This play was published in 1804 and made the swiss freedom fighter Willhelm Tell as famous as he is today. It tells the story of a revolution in the face of bitter opression and at times alludes to the French revolution. It is a book about freedom and courage. I enjoyed it a lot.
