Werke [Heinrich Heine]

Werke
The six-volume edition of “Heinrich Heine’s Werke” is a meticulously designed and richly illustrated collection of works by Heinrich Heine, one of the greatest poets of German Romanticism. Published in Vienna, Leipzig, and Prague in German, the set includes Heine’s poetry, prose, journalism, and essays, vividly reflecting the multifaceted creative range of the author. Each volume is accompanied by illustrations created by Viennese artists, adding significant artistic and aesthetic value to the publication. In this collection, Heine appears not only as a lyricist but also as a witty philosopher, critic, and keen observer of his time. The edition was prepared under the editorship of Heinrich Laube, a well-known 19th-century dramatist and literary figure, which ensured a clear structure and high scholarly quality. This collection stands not merely as a literary monument but as a living encyclopedia of emotion, irony, and intellectual exploration, one that continues to captivate readers to this day.
