Project Gutenberg 2014-11-26 Public domain in the USA. 150 Johannes, von Tepl 1414 Tepl, Johannes von Tepla, Johannes de Von Tepl, Johannes Knieschek, Johann Der Ackermann aus Böhmen Produced by Jana Srna, Jim Dishington and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Der Ackermann aus Böhmen" by Johannes von Tepl is a philosophical poem written in the early 15th century. The text discusses the themes of death and mourning through a dialogue between a grieving husband, the Ackermann, and Death personified. The story unfolds as the Ackermann laments the loss of his wife and vocally confronts Death about the injustices brought about by mortality. At the start of the work, the Ackermann expresses his profound anguish at the death of his beloved wife, cursing Death for the pain it causes. In a series of exchanges, he articulates his sorrow while Death responds with arguments that question the fairness of blaming him for the inevitability of death and the nature of human existence. This poignant opening sets up a deep philosophical exploration of life, loss, and the human condition, as the characters debate the role and power of Death in a world filled with suffering and despair.
