A vivid pseudonymous autobiography of a sensitive and deeply self-aware youth growing up in Hanover in the 18th century. Although Moritz's anguish and insecurity can be tedious, it serves his goal of showing the effects of in imperfect educational system on impressionable pupils. For contemporary readers, the most striking aspect of the work is its emotional honesty. Moritz lives in these pages as few authors of his ear do. ( )
