Journey to the world of plants essay about myself. World war I broke out in 1914 and lasted until 1918 when the armistice was signed. Throughout this period great destruction was suffered across the world and in particular in 1918 when the German army was preparing a massive attack against the allies.
In his works on literarytheory (the best known of which are Laocoon and Hamburgische Dramaturgie (Ham-burg art of theater)), Lessing took his lead primarily from classical poets and Aristotle’sPoetics, thereby clearly shifting the emphasis from Roman to Greek antiquity, without,however, rejecting the Romans in principle.
