Synopsis
Die erst nach Georg Büchners Tod erschienene fragmentarische Erzählung Lenz (1839) gehört zu den Meisterwerken der deutschsprachigen Prosa. Büchner schildert in seiner einzigen Erzählung die fortschreitende psychische Erkrankung des Sturm-und-Drang-Autors Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz (1751–1792) während des kurzen Aufenthalts beim Pfarrer Johann Friedrich Oberlin im Januar/Februar 1778. Die innovativen Erzähltechniken ermöglichen dem Leser ein Miterleben von Lenz' Erkrankung – die Grenzen zwischen Innen- und Außenwelt, von Vernunft und Wahnsinn scheinen zu zerfließen.

He walked onward, caring little one way or another, to him the path mattered not, now up, now down. He felt no fatigue, except sometimes it annoyed him that he could not walk...
