Perhaps at his greatest as a poet, he was the author of numerous exceptionally fine lyric poems, ballads, and elegies.\u003cbr\u003eThis convenient dual-language edition, spanning a wide range of styles, forms, and moods, allows readers to savor a rich selection of the poet's verse in the original German -- from \"An den Sclaf\" (\"To Sleep\"), written when he was 18, to his last great poem, \"Vermächtnis\" (\"Legacy\"), written when he was 80. Several poems from the 1819 volume West-östlicher Divan (Occidental-Oriental Divan) are presented. Excellent line-for-line English translations on facing pages accompany such masterworks as \"Prometheus,\" typical of the Sturm and Drang (storm and stress) period; \"Rastlose Liebe\" (\"Restless Love\") and \"An den Mond\" (\"To the Moon\"), lyric pieces of intense beauty; and the narrative ballads \"Der Fischer\" (\"The Fisherman\") and \"Erlkönig\" (\"Elf King\"). Included among the 96 other works are these poems: \"Auf dem See\" (\"On the Lake\"); \"Zigeunerlied\" (\"Gypsy Song\"); \"Jägers Abendlied\" (\"Huntsman's Evening Song\"); \"Grenzen der Menschheit\" (\"Limitations of Humanity\"); \"Der Zauberiehrling\" (\"The Sorcerer's Apprentice\"); and \"An Werther\" (\"To Werther\").\u003cbr\u003eFor this edition, translator Stanley Appelbaum has provided an informative introduction and a commentary on each poem, which will prove invaluable to students, teachers, and general readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 8.47 x 5.41 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 05, 1999\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52853218836704,"sku":"9780486406671","price":16.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/5909\/4496\/files\/2dnfLsuaPn9780486406671.webp?v=1781233015","url":"https:\/\/improvedinc.myshopify.com\/products\/103-great-poems-a-dual-language-book-paperback","provider":"Improved Improper Input Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
