Description
A poet whose verse inspired music by Schubert, Schumann, Mendelssohn and Brahms, Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) is now equally admired for his satirical and controversial prose. This collection charts Heine's development, beginning with his early travel writings recounting journeys in Germany and Italy. The later On the History of Religion and Philosophy in Germany, which spans the earliest religious beliefs of the Germanic people to the philosophy of Hegel, offers a political interpretation of Germany's philosophical revolution, 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 show us post-Napoleonic Europe through the lens of a brilliant and visionary mind.
