Green Henry: Annotated Edition - Paperback
by Gottfried Keller (Author), A. M. Holt (Translator)
The story of young Henry, who struggles to fulfil his ambitions to become a successful painter and is torn between the gentle Anna and the proud and sensual Judith, is one of the most outstanding and personal Bildungsroman writ¬ten in the German language.
Composed between 1846 and 1855, Keller's poetic, semi-autobiographical novel draws on the author's own youth, artistic studies and development as a man, as well as providing a comprehensive portrait of his country and his times. Green Henry is one of the most important novels in European literature, and undoubtedly the greatest work of fiction by a Swiss writer.Reaching the height of his fame for the semi-autobiographical novel Green Henry, Gottfried Keller (1819-90) is widely considered to be one of the greatest Swiss-German writers.
