Excerpt from Heinrich Heine's Memoirs, Vol. 1 of 2: From His Works, Letters, and ConversationsFor many years after Heine's death the rumour was current that he had left complete memoirs Of his life, and considerable disappointment was felt when only a small fragment Of these was published in 1884 by Dr. Edward Engel, more especially as this fragment was a very exquisite piece Of intimate self-revelation. Since then many letters Of his have come to light, showing vital indications Of his extraordinary personality and inter esting episodes have been related in the writings Of others, notably in Camille Selden's charming recollections Of Heine's last years. There thus exists a mass Of material Of a personal kind concerning Heine's life, than which probably no more intimately pathetic record Of any man Of letters could be found in the range Of modern literature, for was there ever a human being so full Of laughter and tears as Heinrich Heine - from the days Of exuberant youth, filled with love and song, down to the wretched end in Montmartre.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
