Florentine Nights (German Classics) (Heinrich Heine, Charles Godfrey Leland, Hans Breitmann) , 2008

During his stay in Italy, Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) visited Florence, with which he was delighted beyond measure. The literary outcome of this visit was the well-known fantastic and brilliant "Florentine Nights." It is a series of brilliant pictures united by a very slight thread of connection, it is charming in its vague and uneventful wandering, with its strong suggestion of the great original, the Arabian Nights, and its still stronger contrast. In addition, in this love-tale occur some of the best examples of Heine"s biting vein.
