Excerpt from The Family Life of Heinrich Heine: One Hundred and Twenty-Two Family Letters of the Poet Hitherto Unpublished From College Days to His Days to His Death It would be indeed strange if so modern a thinker and one who in some respects stands with the first in German literature should fail to remain a figure of uncommon picturesqueness and to challenge the interest of those who regard as antiquated his views of the struggle between the people and the privileged classes. It is not only as a literary star of the first bright ness, but as captain in the battle America has been fighting for more than one century, that Heine claims our sympathies.

A thematically rich, provocative, and lyrical study of one of Germany’s most important, world-famous, and imaginative writers Heinrich Heine (1797–1856) was a virtuoso German poet, satirist, and visionary humanist whose dynamic life story and strikingly original writing are ripe for rediscovery. In this vividly imagined exploration of Heine’s life and work, George Prochnik contextualizes Heine’s biography within the different revolutionary political, literary, and philosophical movements of his age. He also explores the insights Heine offers contemporary readers into issues of social justice, exile, and the role of art in nurturing a more equitable society. Heine wrote that in his youth he resembled “a large newspaper of which the upper half contained the present, each day with its news and debates, while in the lower half, in a succession of dreams, the poetic past was recorded fantastically like a series of feuilletons.” This book explores the many dualities of Heine’s nature, bringing to life a fully dimensional character while also casting into sharp relief the reasons his writing and personal story matter urgently today.
