Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) is one of the most prominent figures in the history of German literature, the greatest lyricist of the era. He is rightly called the singer of nature and unhappy love.

Heine "took everything viable from the Romantic school: a connection with folk art... He continued the use of folk legend and fairy tale motifs, and the shaking of the canons of classical verse, begun by the Romantics."

Heine entered the treasury of world literature as an author of poetry and artistic and journalistic prose. And the world fame was brought to the German poet by the "Book of Songs."
