Conrad Ferdinand Meyer

Conrad Ferdinand Meyer (October 11, 1825 - November 28, 1898) was a Swiss poet and novelist, a master of realism chiefly remembered for stirring narrative ballads like "Die Fe im Feuer" (The Feet in the Fire). Meyer was of patrician descent. His father, who died early, was a statesman and historian, while his mother was a highly cultured woman. Having finished the gymnasium, he took up the study of law, but history and the humanities were of greater interest to him.
