add to cart   close window

This article presents information on the book "Aus den Tagen der Occupation. Eine Osterreise durch Nordfrankreich und Elsass-Lothringen, 1871," by Theodor Fontane. The war with France has given character to the whole body of German literature for 1871-2, history, geography, practical science, anthropology, biography, sermons, memoirs, political economy and ethics, poems, novels, and illustrated books of every description. Much of the present literature of the war will of course be evanescent, and much will furnish only the dry details for future historians, but among the multifarious books of 1871 these two volumes of Fontane possess enough of fact to give them authority, and enough of fancy to give them the color of life.
