Classics such as Goethe's "Mailied," Hölderlin's "Hälfte des Lebens," Eichendorff's "Sehnsucht," or Rilke's "Herbsttag," love poems like Fried's "Was es ist" or Brecht's "Die Liebenden," as well as humorous works by Ringelnatz, Kästner, and Tucholsky - in this lovingly designed volume featuring the 100 most famous and beloved German poems, you are sure to find your personal favorite poem. A beautiful gift for remembering, rereading, and rediscovering. "Words shape, poems create continuity, especially when you can recite them from memory. Poems speak of permanence; times change, but the classics remain on their pedestals" (Lutz Hagestedt in the afterword).
