German Romance - Vol. I

Step into the heart of German Romanticism with Thomas Carlyle’s “German Romance – Vol. I,” where he introduces the whimsical, profound, and deeply imaginative world of Jean Paul. Blending humor, sentiment, and philosophical depth, Jean Paul’s stories offer a dreamlike journey through the human soul. Carlyle’s masterful translations and commentaries make this a rare bridge between two cultures — a literary gateway into the fantastical and emotional landscapes of early 19th-century Germany. A must-read for lovers of classic literature, Romanticism, and the roots of modern psychological fiction.
"German Romance - Vol. I" is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1898.
