Perhaps at his greatest as a poet, he was the author of numerous exceptionally fine lyric poems, ballads, and elegies.This convenient dual-language edition, spanning a wide range of styles, forms, and moods, allows readers to savor a rich selection of the poet's verse in the original German - from \"An den Sclaf\" (\"To Sleep\"), written when he was 18, to his last great poem, \"Vermchtnis\" (\"Legacy\"), written when he was 80. Several poems from the 1819 volume West-stlicher Divan (Occidental-Oriental Divan) are presented. Excellent line-for-line English translations on facing pages accompany such masterworks as \"Prometheus,\" typical of the Sturm and Drang (storm and stress) period; \"Rastlose Liebe\" (\"Restless Love\") and \"An den Mond\" (\"To the Moon\"), lyric pieces of intense beauty; and the narrative ballads \"Der Fischer\" (\"The Fisherman\") and \"Erlknig\" (\"Elf King\"). Included among the 96 other works are these poems: \"Auf dem See\" (\"On the Lake\"); \"Zigeunerlied\" (\"Gypsy Song\"); \"Jgers Abendlied\" (\"Huntsman's Evening Song\"); \"Grenzen der Menschheit\" (\"Limitations of Humanity\"); \"Der Zauberiehrling\" (\"The Sorcerer's Apprentice\"); and \"An Werther\" (\"To Werther\").For this edition, translator Stanley Appelbaum has provided an informative introduction and a commentary on each poem, which will prove invaluable to students, teachers, and general readers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51928179114272,"sku":"NEW0486406679","price":16.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/103-great-poems-a-dual-language-book-dover-dual-language-german-german-and-english-edition-0486406679","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
