The Harz Journey and Selected Prose - Paperback
by Heinrich Heine (Author), Ritchie Robertson (Editor), Ritchie Robertson (Introduction by)
A poet whose verse inspired music by Schubert Schumann Mendelssohn and Brahms Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) was in his lifetime equally admired for his elegant prose. This collection charts the development of that prose beginning with three meditative works from the Travel Pictures inspired by Heine's journeys as a young man to Lucca Venice and the Harz Mountains. Exploring the development of spirituality the later On the History of Religion and Philosophy in Germany spans the earliest religious beliefs of the Germanic people to the philosophy of Hegel and warns with startling force of the dangers of yielding to 'primeval Germanic paganism'. Finally the Memoirs consider Heine's Jewish heritage and describe his early childhood. As rich in humour satire lyricism and anger as his greatest poems together the pieces offer a fascinating insight into a brilliant and prophetic mind.
Christian Johann Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) was one of the most significant German poets.
