Heine was the greatest of German poets, and this book is his masterpiece. It pillories conventional pieties of 19th century German culture and nationalism with that nervous, self-mocking irony that is the hallmark of Jewish humor. Literally illegal in Germany during Heine's lifetime, it places him with Catullus and Villion in the first rank of literature's bad boys. Beautifully illustrated by Jim Cheff and translated with full force by Yakov Rabinovich.
