Heine's Way to Paris

"Heine's Way To Paris - They who perish when they love" is (after the second "The Joys and Sorrows of Young Harry") the - independently readable - third part of the, essentially fictive, biography of one of the greatest and most enigmatic love poets of Germany. It describes his studies in Bonn, G ttingen, Berlin, and his move to Paris. His family members Betty, Samson, Salomon, Molly appear, next to it his contemporaries Immermann, Grabbe, Platen, von Breza, Goethe, Moser, Fichte, Schelling, G rres, Hegel, Varnhagen, Rahel, Ludwig Robert, B rne, Ma mann. But above all his youthful loves and love affairs: Kitty, Vanessa, Friederike, Malwine, Clarisse, Therese, Waltraud, Lore, Monique, Beatrice, Chlo Maurel ... but no less than the women of his erotic imagination: Sch n-Betty, Maria McGregor, the Lorelei, Messalina, Briseis, Francesca, Dina, Judith, Marianne ... And they appear without a figleaf.
