Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Heine possesses that divine malice without which I cannot imagine perfection . . . And how he employs German! It will one day be said that Heine and I have been by far the first artists of the German language. --Friedrich Nietzsche

Heine's short account of his journey through the Harz Mountains remains today, with Sterne's memories of France and Goethe's record of Italy, the greatest travel writing in literary history. Funny, biting, but always tender, his digressive rendering is inimitably pleasurable. Now Peter Wortsman's new translation brings to the English reader Heine's sumptuous syntax, verbal wit, and stylistic virtuosity. --Eric Banks

Peter Wortsman's new translation of Travel Pictures, Heine's major early work, reveals a mercurial writer with a vitriolic streak, one whose comic voice is equal match to his lyricism. --Joao Ribas, Review of Contemporary Fiction

This poet was Heinrich Heine, who dominated me longer than any one author that I have known. --William Dean Howells

Reseña del editor:

One of Germany’s most illustrious poets, Heinrich Heine is also celebrated for his idiosyncratic and vibrant prose. Heine’s lyrical, humorous, and revealing vision in these four accounts of his voyages in Italy and Germany raisesTravel Pictures into the transcendent realm of great journey literature. Over one hundred poems pepper the text.

Heinrich Heine (1797–1856) was one of the most significant German Romantic poets. Many of his poems were set to music by Schubert, Mendelssohn, and Brahms.

Peter Wortsman is an author and translator. His translations from the German include work by Robert Musil, Peter Altenberg, and Adelbert von Chamisso.
