Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Autobiography, Vol. 12: A Collection of the Most Instructive and Amusing Lives Ever Published; With Brief Introductions, and Compendious Sequels Carrying on the Course of Events to the Death of Each Writer Holberg is justly regarded by the Danes as the creator of their modern school of literature. His productions are but little known in this country, and still less in the more southern parts of Europe; but in the north of Europe there are few names which are held in greater esteem than that of the writer of the following memoirs. He devoted his whole life to literature, and acquired, in his own country, a distinguished reputation as a satirist, as a dramatic writer, as a national historian, and as an expounder of the principles of public law. His Introduction to the Law of Nature and of Nations, the germ of a more copious treatise on the same subject, and his Journey to the World under Ground, have been translated into English. The former of these works is little more than an abridgment of Puffendorf; the latter, though it is an obvious imitation of the Gulliver of Swift, and cannot therefore claim the praise of original invention, is nevertheless an amusing and instructive production. The work, which we now introduce to public notice, may be almost said to be rescued from oblivion by its annexation to this collection.
