Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Classics, Vol. 1 of 20: Masterpieces of German Literature Translated Into English When that which should be a short story is expanded into a novel one can usually detect the padding and the embroidery. So it is certainly in this case. Those long descriptions of landscape-gardening; the copious extracts from Ottilie's diary, containing many thoughts which would hardly have entered the head of such a girl; the pages given to subordinate characters, whose comings and goings have no very obvious connection with the story, all these retard the narrative and tend to hide the essential idea. The strange title, too, has served to divert attention from the real centre of gravity. Had the tale been called, say, Ottilie's Expiation, there would have been less room for misunderstanding and irrelevant criticism; there would have been less concern over the moral, and more over the artistic, aspect of the story. What then was the essential idea? Simply to describe a peculiar tragedy resulting from the invasion of the marriage relation by lawless passion. As for the title, it should be remembered that there was just then a tendency to look for curious analogies between physical law and the Operations of the human mind. Great interest was felt in suggestion, occult influence, and all that sort of thing. Goethe himself had lately been lecturing on magnetism. He had also observed, as no one can fail to observe, that the sexual attraction sometimes seems to act like chemical affinity: it breaks up old unions, forms new combinations, destroys pre-exis-ting bodies, as if it were a law that must work itself out, whatever the consequences. Such a process will now and then defy prudence, self-respect, duty, even religion, going its way like a blind and ruthless law' of physics. But if this is to happen the recombining elements must, of course, have each its specific character; else there is no affinity and no tragedy. It is no part of the analogy that the pressure of sex is always and by its very nature like the attraction of atoms.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Classics, Vol. 1 of 20: Masterpieces of German Literature Translated Into English; Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe For it is a grave mistake to assume, as has been assumed only too often, that, after the great epoch of Classicism and Romanticism in the early decades of the nineteenth century, Germany produced but little of universal significance, or that, after Goethe and Heine, there were but few Germans worthy to be mentioned side by side with the great writers of other European countries. True, there is no German Tolstoy, no German Ibsen, no German Zola - but then, is there a Russian Nietzsche, or a Norwegian Wagner, or a French Bismarck? Men like these, men of revolutionary genius, men who start new movements and mark new epochs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Classics of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries, Vol. 19 of 20: Masterpieces of German Literature, Translated Into English Is this still the people to which Goethe belonged? At a time when a common cause with Austria conjures up again the shade Of the dear Old Holy Roman Empire no other verse in Faust seems SO inept as that concerning the ugly political song. Today we should rather say An unpolitical song, an ugly song; for to the people that but a few weeks ago was mindful Of naught but works Of peace everything has become a matter of indifference except the burning question Of the hour. Even though the longed-for peace Should soon return, the year 1914 must leave a deep mark in the development Of German literature. As yet we can only look back, not forward, from this milestone; and even in so doing we cannot escape from the present.

This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The German Classics of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries, Volume 08 Masterpieces of German Literature Translated into English by Berthold Auerbach Early in the morning through the autumnal mist two children of six or seven years are wending their way, hand in hand, along the garden-paths outside the village. The girl, evidently the elder of the two, carries a slate, school-books, and writing materials under her arm; the boy has a similar equipment, which he carries in an open gray linen bag slung across his shoulder. The girl wears a cap of white twill, that reaches almost to her forehead, and from beneath it the outline of her broad brow stands forth prominently; the boy's head is bare. Only one child's step is heard, for while the boy has strong shoes on, the girl is barefoot. Wherever the path is broad enough, the children walk side by side, but where the space between the hedges is too narrow for this, the girl walks ahead.

This book was released on 2018-06-30 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The German Classics of The Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries Volume 1 By Kuno Francke In any case, Heine met the new love on the occasion of a visit to Lüneburg and Hamburg in the spring of 1823, and was haunted by her image during the summer spent at Cuxhaven. Here Heine first saw the sea. In less exalted moods he dallied with fisher maidens; he did not forget Amalie; but the youthful grace and purity of Therese dominate most of the poems of this summer. The return from the watering place gave Heine the title The Return Home for this collection of pieces which, when published in 1826, was dedicated to Frau Varnhagen von Ense. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
