Romanzero by Heinrich Heine

"Romanzero" by Heinrich Heine is a poetry collection published in 1851. Written during Heine's final years while confined to his "mattress grave" in Paris, this work marks a departure from his earlier romantic verse. The collection divides into three sections: historical tales spanning ancient Egypt to Aztec gods, lamentations on illness and death, and Hebrew melodies exploring Jewish themes. Through irony and pointed critique, Heine exposes social injustices and challenges political, religious, and literary conventions—provocations that led to immediate bans in Austria and Prussia.
