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.
