Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Heinrich Heine´s Memoirs, Vol. 2 of 2: From His Works, Letters, and Conversations Victor Bohain was one of the people whom I saw soon after my arrival in Paris, and I remember with joy the jovial, witty character who by his kindly suggestions helped much to remove the clouds from the brow of the German dreamer and to initiate his embittered heart into the cheerfulness of French life. He had at that time founded the Europe Litteraire, and as its director he came to me to ask me to write some articles on Germany in the manner of Madame de Stael for his paper. I promised to supply the articles with the express observation that I should write them in a manner entirely different from that. "It is all the same to me," was the laughing answer - "except for the genre ennuyeux, like Voltaire, I can do with any genre." In order that I, poor German that I was, might not fall into the genre ennuyeux my friend Bohain used to invite me to dinner and feed my mind with champagne. No one knew better than he how to arrange a dinner, at which one enjoyed not only the best cooking but the most precious conversation; no one knew so well as he how to do the honours as host, and no one ever presided so well as Victor Bohain - and certainly he was quite right in accounting for 100,000 francs to his shareholders in the Europe Littéraire as expenses of representation.
