Heinrich Heine |

||||||
| Early-19th-century German writer and poet Heinrich Heine is best known for his beautiful, delicate, and at times bitterly satiric poems. Heine’s work reveals the frustration that stemmed from the conflicts in his life, including an unrequited love for his cousin, a conversion from Judaism to Christianity because of anti-Semitism in Germany, and his love for a country in which he could no longer live. Heine moved to Paris in 1831 to escape political oppression and literary suppression in Germany. | ||||||
