Die Räuber ist das erste veröffentlichte Drama von Friedrich Schiller. Das Werk, das zunächst nicht als Bühnenstück, sondern als Lesedrama gedacht war, gliedert sich in fünf Akte; es entstand in der Epoche der Aufklärung und ist der Strömung Sturm und Drang in der deutschen Literatur zuzurechnen. Es wurde 1781 zunächst anonym veröffentlicht, dann am 13. Januar 1782 in Mannheim uraufgeführt, wo es für nationales Aufsehen sorgte und Schiller schlagartig berühmt machte.

The Robbers (Die Räuber, German pronunciation: [diː ˈʁɔɪ̯bɐ] (About this soundlisten)) is the first drama by German playwright Friedrich Schiller. The play was published in 1781 and premiered on 13 January 1782 in Mannheim, Germany, and was inspired by Leisewitz' earlier play Julius of Taranto. It was written towards the end of the German Sturm und Drang ("Storm and Stress") movement, and many critics, such as Peter Brooks, consider it very influential in the development of European melodrama.The play astounded its Mannheim audience and made Schiller an overnight sensation. It later became the basis for Verdi's opera of the same name, I masnadieri.

This is actually a play by Friedrich Schiller and it's very fun to read. I found the German relatively clear and what I love is how it's completely full of thought-provoking ideas and dialogue, making it ideal for a German student!
