More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) is one of Germany's greatest writers of verse and prose. His agile mind and brilliant wit expressed themselves in lyric and satiric verse, travel writing and essays on literature, art, politics and history. He was a great satirist and thinker - but not a philosopher. One of his most perceptive admirers, Friedrich Nietzsche, said of him, 'he possessed that divine malice without which perfection, for me, is unimaginable'. Born into a world changed forever by the French Revolution, Heine grew up in a Dusseldorf that formed part of the Napoleonic Empire. He was always acutely aware of history and politics and engaged with them in all his writings.

By Shalom Freedman "Shalom Freedman" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Heine (Jewish thinkers) (Hardcover)
Robertson is an excellent critic who tells the story of Heine's life and also provides analysis of his major works. He also considers the question of Heine's Jewish identity and committment.
