This book breaks new ground in the field of Heine and Leopardi scholarship by providing a critical analysis of similarities between the rhetorical strategies of Heinrich Heine's text \u003ci\u003eLudwig Börne. Eine Denkschrift\u003c\/i\u003e and Giacomo Leopardi's  Il Cantico del Gallo Silvestre  (in \u003ci\u003eOperette Morali\u003c\/i\u003e) and the midrashic process. In their texts, Heine and Leopardi interweave biblical references, historical events, and personal encounters with their narrative and juxtapose them to a contemporary situation, thus presenting the reader with their interpretation of an existential experience. These narratives are midrashic in inviting multiple interpretations of equal validity. In an age imbued with optimism, Heine and Leopardi discredit the whole tradition of the eschatological messianic message of redemption and negate the Enlightenment's belief in the renewal of society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Horst Daemmrich,Delia Fabbroni-Giannotti Nisbet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 082044152X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820441528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/22\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 151\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2000 pg. 202","brand":"Horst Daemmrich","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48483718529279,"sku":"9780820441528","price":58.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2075587b-b89e-46ca-950a-5484fa73e354.jpg?v=1778040205","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/heinrich-heine-and-giacomo-leopardi-horst-daemmrich-9780820441528","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
