Nach Hölderlins Lyrik mit einer Auswahl seiner Gedichte (OrSyTa 32023) bringt dieser Prosa-Band seinen großartigen Roman »Hyperion oder der Eremit in Griechenland«, nebst seinen Vorformen und Ergänzungen »Fragment von Hyperion« und »Hyperions Jugend«, sowie etwas Theoretisches, darunter »Pindar-Fragmente«.

Die Auswahl bringt, chronologisch gereiht, 93 schönste, bedeutsamste, eindrucksvollste, manchmal auch verstörende lyrische Schöpfungen Friedrich Hölderlins. Sich selbst überwindend, sprachkräftig, gedankenmächtig. Natur-, Landschafts- und Liebesgedichte in Hölderlins charakteristisch eigenem Stil zwischen Klassik und Romantik, durchwirkt von Griechentum, Ideal, Erneuerung, mythologisch, versunken, sehnsüchtig, seherisch, hymnisch in freien Rhythmen, symbolisch dunkel, geheimnisvoll, Leben, Tod, Götter, Christentum und Heimat. Ein Höhepunkt abendländischer Literatur mit durchdringendem Einfluss auf die Dichtkunst vieler Lyriker, etwa Stefan George, Georg Heym, Georg Trakl, Paul Celan, Ingeborg Bachmann. Hölderlins hymnisches Spätwerk inspirierte philosophische Überlegungen bei Martin Heidegger, Theodor W. Adorno, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault.

Der Name Hyperion bedeutet "der oben Gehende". Der Roman ist ein Selbstbekenntnis, das trotz mancher jugendlich-schwärmerischen Züge Hölderlins Lebensschau und Seelentum vergegenwärtigt. Die Natur, die in den Schlussbriefen hymnisch gefeiert wird, wird verehrt als der gotterfüllte Raum. In der Schilderung Griechenlands durchdringen sich Vergangenheit und Zukunft, Traum und Verheißung. Hyperion, der rückschauend seinem deutschen Freund Bellarmin von seinem Leben berichtet, wächst in der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts in Südgriechenland im Frieden der Natur auf. Sein weiser Lehrer Adamas führt ihn in die Heroenwelt des Plutarch, dann in das Zauberland der griechischen Götter und begeistert ihn für die griechische Vergangenheit. Sein tatkräftiger Freund Alabanda weiht ihn in die Pläne zur Befreiung Griechenlands ein. In Kalaurea lernt er Diotima kennen. Sie gibt ihm die Kraft zur Tat. Er nimmt im Jahre 1770 am Befreiungskrieg der Griechen gegen die Türken teil, dem Osmanischen Krieg. Die Rohheit des Krieges stößt ihn jedoch ab. Er wird schwer verwundet, Alabanda muss fliehen und Diotima stirbt. Hyperion geht nach Deutschland, aber das Leben dort wird ihm unerträglich. Deshalb kehrt er nach Griechenland zurück und lebt dort als Eremit. In seiner Einsamkeit findet er in der Schönheit der Landschaft und Natur zu sich selbst und überwindet die Tragik, die in diesem Alleinsein liegt. Friedrich Hölderlin (1770-1843) zählt zu den bedeutendsten deutschen Lyrikern. Sein Werk lässt sich, in seiner Bedeutung innerhalb der deutschen Literatur um 1800, weder der Weimarer Klassik noch der Romantik zuordnen.

FRIEDRICH HOLDERLIN: HOLDERLIN'S SONGS OF LIGHT: SELECTED POEMS Translated by Michael Hamburger and edited and introduced by Jeremy Mark Robinson The German Romantic poet Friedrich Holderlin (1770-1843) is one of the very greatest poets - of any era. Holderlin's poetry is airy, radiant and incredibly lyrical. This selection features many of his best odes, poems and hymns, from the whole span of his career. Michael Hamburger is a respected poet and critic. He has translated Rilke, Celan and Goethe, among others, as well the whole of Holderlin's poetry. Hamburger's awards include The Schlegel-Tieck Prize, the Goethe Medal and the European Translation Prize. 'Few can have done more to enhance (and in many cases create) the appreciation of German poetry among an Anglophone audience' (Times Literary Supplement) ¿  Includes the German text and English translations. The book has been revised. Illustrated, with images of Holderlin and biographical pictures. With introduction and bibliography. European Writers Series.  Notes & bibliography & illustrations. www.crmoon.com Friedrich Holderlin was born Johann Friedrich Holderlin on March 20, 1770 in Lauffen, a Swabian town on the River Neckar. He spent much of his later years, following a mental breakdown, in a house in Tubingen, until his death in 1843. For Ronald Peacock, Holderlin was the poet of 'radiant purity', 'the one whose name can be uttered only in the tone of veneration'. The chief love in Friedrich Holderlin's life was Susette Borkenstein Gontard (1769-1802), the 'beautiful, cultured and noble' wife of a Frankfurt banker, J.F. Gontard. Holderlin taught Gontard's children. He idealized Susette Gontard: she became his Muse, the Diotima in his poetry. 'Schones Leben! du lebst, wie die zarten Bluthen im Winter', Holderlin wrote in 'To Diotima'. Just as Novalis worshipped his beloved Sophie as an embodiment of Sophia (Wisdom), a Goddess of transcendent philosophy, so Holderlin apostrophized Susette Gontard as Diotima in poems such as 'Diotima', 'To Diotima', 'To Her Genius' and 'Menon's Lament for Diotima'. Diotima was the hero's beloved in Holderlin's novel Hyperion. Many poems are addressed to Diotima, and she is the subject of many pieces. It was with his relationship with Susette Gontard that Holderlin's poetry began to develop rapidly, achieving a depth and lyricism far beyond the early poems. Susette, as Diotima, was crucial in this poetic development.

Friedrich Hoelderlin (1770-1843) was one of Europe's greatest poets. This expanded edition of Selected Poems (1990/96), winner of the European Poetry Translation Prize, also includes all of Hoelderlin's Sophocles (2001).

The description for this book, Hymns and Fragments, will be forthcoming.

One of Germany's greatest poets, Johann Christian Friedrich Holderlin (1770-1843) was also a prose writer of intense feeling, intelligence and perception. This title includes translation of selected letters and essays that traces the life and thoughts of this extraordinary writer.

Considered one of the founders of European romanticism, Holderlin had a mere 10 years to develop his distinctive style before falling prey to a debilitating mental illness. This collection of poetry ranges from the odes of his developmental period to the majestic hymns and strangely prophetic modern compositions created in his later years.

Friedrich Holderlin is recognized as one of Europe's supreme poets. Together the works collected here show Holderlin's use of Classical and Christian imagery and his exploration of cosmology and history in an attempt to find meaning in an uncertain world.
