Huttens letzte Tage

by Conrad Ferdinand Meyer

"Huttens letzte Tage" by Conrad Ferdinand Meyer is a poetry cycle published in 1871. The work portrays the dying knight and humanist Ulrich von Hutten as he arrives on the island of Ufenau to spend his final days. Defiant to the end, Hutten reflects on his life's struggle for the Reformation and against the papacy. Through eight chapters and seventy-one stanzas, Meyer traces Hutten's memories, encounters with visitors, and inner battles as death approaches. This work marked Meyer's literary breakthrough.
