Hyperion by Friedrich H Lderlin
Hyperion is a novel of stirring lyricism, philosophical sublimity, and enduring influence. It stands among H lderlin's most extraordinary achievements. A Greek hermit recounts the pivotal phases of his life, from his discovery of the vanished glory of antiquity, through his encounter with his beloved Diotima, who embodies his goal of merging with the All of nature, to his participation in a Greek uprising against Ottoman Turkish tyranny. H lderlin's sole novel has been celebrated for its musicality, the power of its cadences and tones to express a constant oscillation between extremes of grief and joy. Though H lderlin's genius was not widely recognized during his lifetime, he has come to be regarded as one of the most significant and unique poets in the German language.
Holderlin, Friedrich: - Johann Christian Friedrich Holderlin (20 March 1770--6 June 1843) was a major German lyric poet. His work bridges the Classical and Romantic schools. Having spent most of his life tormented by mental illness, he suffered great loneliness, and often spent his time playing the piano, drawing, reading, writing, and enjoyed traveling when he had the chance.
