5 out of 5 stars The greatest lyric poet in German.......2005-11-04

Heine wrote some of the most beautiful and popular lyric poetry the German language has ever known.
Like the Russian of Pushkin, the German of Goethe it loses too much in translation for the English language reader to truly know it and possess it.

            4 out of 5 stars A romantic with a biting sarcasm and cynicism that's funny.......2000-07-03

            I first read Heine more than 20 years ago in a hard bound edition translated by Louis Untermeyer and with some old-fashioned drawings. I found the poems to be really very memorable - they are usually short and can be terribly sweet and very romantic, but the inevitable venom of cynicism and sarcasm at the end of each are extremely funny and very wise. There are writers which are good only for fusty old university professors - such as Milton and James Joyce - and there are those who are good for everybody including fusty old professors. Heine is of the second variety.

            I speak no German and am just a casual poetry reader. But I find the translations in this edition have the same ring as the old version I read ages ago. It therefore tells me, who cannot judge the capability of any of the translators, that somehow Heine is consistently translatable and would require a real bad translator to be mangled.

            This particular book (ISBN 0-460-87865-4) has a brief and informative introduction by T. J. Reed, setting out the biographical, cultural, and historical times of the poet. It has a 10-page chronology of his life and times. It has NO index of titles and first lines, nor has it any scholarly footnotes explaining variants and allusions and other stuffs that are useful only for those who pretend not to live in musty libraries. In other words, the book's accessories are designed to provide only just enough information to increase your understanding and enjoyment of the real meat inside.

            5 out of 5 stars Heinrich Heine is my favorite poet........2007-03-27

            I have a large edition of his poems that I bought in Germany about 5 years ago, and which I have variously kept at my bedside, on my desk or on the toilet tank. I've studied his works, and I also like to go back at odd times and read and relish a couple of his moving short love poems or his pointed politico/historical observational poems. He writes like no other. I also love to play with words, and what Heine does with language--his words, his rhymes--is ingenious and delightful.

            Heine was a Jewish German, born at the end of the 19th century in Duesseldorf, on the Rhein river. Even at this time antisemitism was pervasive in the German culture, and he ended up spending most of his life in Paris, although he loved and missed his "Vaterland" profoundly. Germany figures importantly in his poetry. A good example is "Deutschland, ein Wintermaerchen" (faiy tale), a lenghty and many-faceted allorgical tale with clever allusions to many historical events.

            Some of his poems, on the other hand, are shorter and simpler but never boring--little surpises may await the reader at the end: "A girl stood on the beach and sighed forlornly to see the sun go down. My darling, be of good cheer: here it goes down, but on the other side it comes up again." Pardon my translation--much of the fun is lost with the rhyme scheme; but the point is that even beginning German students can enjoy this one.

            And everybody will recognize Heine's "Die Lorelei", a lyrical and quasi-mournful poem which was set to music by Friedrich Silcher, and has become a well-known folksong.

            In short, Heinrich Heine is a poet whose work can be enjoyed by both student and scholar. He is my favorite because of his adroit articulation and the breadth and depth of his brillant mind and his limpid soul.

            4 out of 5 stars Please be note the language.......2007-03-19

            This collection of poetry of Heine's is not translated but in the original German. It however, contains an English introduction with English notes on words in the poetry. Very bizarre publication.

            I myself cannot read German (I plan on learning very soon) so I can't read the poetry now.
