Description
This 1893 Heinemann edition presents Volume VII of Heinrich Heine’s collected works, specifically “French Affairs” (Volume I). Translated by Charles Godfrey Leland, this volume contains Heine’s “Letters from Paris,” originally written as daily bulletins for the German press between 1831 and 1832. The text provides a sharp, satirical, and deeply insightful eyewitness account of the Citizen Kingdom under Louis Philippe, the rise of the bourgeoisie, and the social unrest in Lutetia and Normandy. It is an essential primary source for those interested in 19th-century French politics, European history, and the evolution of political journalism.
