5.0 out of 5 stars
A book for the mankind.,
By Vladimir (Valencia, Spain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hyperion (World Classic Literature Series) : German language version (Paperback)
Hölderlin's Hyperion is a book for the memory of the mankind. It deals with love and with changing the world too. This great German masterpiece is just poetry in prose. The love scenes of Hyperion and Diotima are maybe the best and beautiful ever written about love, and the drammatic dimension of the piece is so intense, that one always reads it with strong excitement. I have read "Hyperion" several times and it has become my personal bible. Poetry and elation for changing the world. The drama of it.This version is in the original German. If you are an English reader just look for an english translation. In any case you will be delighted or maybe your life will change as that of mine when I read it for the first time. If the latter applies then you will have soon the necessity of reading it in German (learning German for doing it). I tell you by experience. |
