The poet dying : Heinrich Heine's last years in Paris
Pawel, Ernst
The poet dying : Heinrich Heine's last years in Paris / Ernst Pawel. - 1st ed. - New York : Farrar, Straus and Giroux , 1995. - 277 p. ; 20 cm.
A selection of Heinrich Heine's poems in German and English (p. [195]-277). Includes poems in German with parallel translations in English.
Includes bibliographical references.
Heine was an elegant poet and unsparing journalist. His poetry, shaped by banishment from a Germany hostile to his Jewishness and to his pointed irreverence, flourished in Paris. As mysterious ill health overtook him in the last eight years of his life, confining him to his "mattress tomb," Heine confronted death in strikingly understated, carefully controlled verse. He retained his sardonic sense of humor as well: "It is already expensive enough to live in Paris. But dying in Paris is infinitely more expensive. And to think that I could now be hanged for free in Germany or in Hungary." With an appendix of Heine's poems in German and English.
English and German.
