«Reisebilder» is Heinrich Heine's collection of travel writings, published by Insel in paperback (600 pages, in German).
The work gathers Heine's impressions from his travels and turns them into a literary chronicle: descriptions of landscapes, observations on society and politics, and portraits of customs. The texts, halfway between reportage and essay, show nineteenth-century Germany with irony and a critical eye, without forgoing personal reflection.
First edition of 1980, number 444 in the Insel Taschenbuch series, with an afterword by Joseph A. Kruse and period illustrations; edition published in Frankfurt am Main.
A work of interest for those wishing to approach nineteenth-century German literature through the travel chronicle.
Christian Johann Heinrich Heine was a German poet, writer and literary critic. He is best known outside Germany for his early lyric poetry, which was set to music in the form of Lieder by composers such as Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann and Franz Schubert.
