The Breitmann Ballads (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Breitmann BalladsThe opinion - entirely foreign to any intention of the author - that Hans Breitmann is an embodied satire on everything German, has found very few supporters, and it is with the greatest gratification that he has learned that educated and intelligent Germans regard Hans as a jocose burlesque of a type which is every day becoming rarer. And if Teutonic philosophy and sentiment, beer, music, and romance, have been made the medium for what many re viewers have kindly declared to be laughter-moving, let the reader be assured that not a single word was meant in a bitter or unkindly spirit. It is true that there is always a standpoint from which any effort may be misjudged, but this standpoint certainly did not occur to the writer when he wrote, with anything but misgiving, of his hearty, hard fighting, good-natured old ex-student, who, in the political ballads and others, appears to no moral disadvantage by the side of his associates.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
