R. Goedsche Northwestern University W. E. Glaettli Centenary College For Women American Book Company. New York From the book: "In the original German Series of the CULTURAL GRADED READERS (Elementary), we have dealt with Germans who settled in the United States and made signif- icant contributions to her history. In the Alternate German Series (Elementary), we have chosen for our subjects Germans who achieved much of their fame in other parts of the world. Book I is devoted to Schweitzer, Book II to Thomas Mann, Book III to Heine, Book IV to Beethoven, Book V to Steinmetz. In Book III, we follow the life of Heinrich Heine, poet, novelist, and critic. We note his failure to establish himself professionally. We witness the tragedy of his first love, his voluntary exile in France, where he found happiness but never felt at home. We come to know, on the one hand, the unsuccessful man Heine, who failed to round his life into a symbolic whole because of his inability to reconcile his ideals with reality. On the other hand, we see in his poems the great and successful artist Heine: his originality, his fine sensibility, the simplicity of the poetic situations he develops, his perfect grace of form, and his marvelous wit. This is the story of one of Germany's greatest lyric poets, whose fame became world-wide and was further broadened through the genius of such composers as Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann, and Felix Mendelssohn, who set to music many of his poems.
