Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Wolfe of the Knoll: And Other Poems The scene of the following poem is laid alternately on the island of Amrum near the coast of the duchy of Schleswig-Holstein, and in the city of Tunis and the territory of that Byalik. In the descriptions of the island and of the manners of its inhabitants, are embraced not only the characteristic features of Amrum itself, hut those belonging to the Halligs, or low tide-washed islands of the same shallow waters, and they have been drawn principally from J. G. Kohl´s "Marschen und Inseln der Herzogthümer Schleswig und Holstein," and from a tale by Biernatzki. The singular geography of the Frisian country, and the strange life of its people, seem to have made a powerful impression on Tacitus and the elder Pliny. The latter gives, in Book xvi., chap. i. of his "Natural History" a lively description of the scene of this part of our story, which, in the words of Kohl, "is as faithful and striking, as if, like me, he had himself sailed over from Wyk to Oland with Skipper Jilke Junk Jurgens." For Holland´s translation of the passage the reader is referred to the Appendix I. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
