The Earthquake in Chili in 1647

This is a famous short story by Von Kleist published in 1810 about the Chilean earthquake of 1647.

Update: a few things I learned about Kleist today:
1. Goethe reportedly once threw Kleist’s book against the wall enraged at the excellence of the rival author.
2. At the age of 34 Kleist killed himself after killing a female friend in a suicide pact.
