The Works of Heinrich Heine

The Works of Heinrich Heine is an anthology that highlights the creative brilliance of German poet, author, and literary critic Heinrich Heine (1797–1856). His early lyric poetry, which was accompanied by music by musicians such as Franz Schubert and Robert Schumann, is what made him most famous, but his later prose and verse are equally notable for their sarcastic wit and irony. Along with essays on Shakespeare’s maidens and ladies, the collection features stories such as Florentine Nights, The Memoirs of Herr Von Schnabelewopski, and The Rabbi of Bacarach.
