Atta Troll is a satirical novel written by Heinrich Heine, originally published in 1847. The story follows the adventures of a bear named Atta Troll, who is a symbol of the German Romantic movement. The novel is divided into three parts and is written in verse form, with each section containing a different style of poetry.In the first part, Atta Troll is introduced as a noble and dignified bear, who is forced to flee his home in the forest due to the destruction caused by human civilization. He travels through various countries and encounters different characters, including a group of poets who are obsessed with their own egos.The second part of the novel is a political allegory, in which Atta Troll becomes involved in a revolutionary movement against the ruling class. Heine uses this section to criticize the political and social systems of his time, and to advocate for greater equality and freedom.The final part of the novel is a love story, in which Atta Troll falls in love with a she-bear named Ursula. However, their relationship is threatened by the interference of humans, who see the bears as nothing more than animals to be hunted and killed.Atta Troll is a complex and multi-layered work, which combines elements of satire, politics, and romance. It is considered one of Heine's most important works, and has been praised for its innovative use of poetic form and its powerful social commentary.With Sketches By Willy Pogany.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
