German Ideals Of Today

""German Ideals of Today: And Other Essays on German Culture"" is a collection of essays written by Kuno Francke, a prominent German-American scholar and professor of German literature at Harvard University. The book delves into the cultural and intellectual landscape of Germany in the early 20th century, exploring the country's ideals, values, and traditions. Francke examines the role of art, literature, and philosophy in shaping German culture, and reflects on the challenges facing the country in the aftermath of World War I. The essays cover a range of topics, from the legacy of Goethe and Schiller to the rise of modernism and the impact of industrialization on German society. Francke's insights into German culture are informed by his own experiences as a German immigrant to the United States, and his deep appreciation for the richness and complexity of his native country's intellectual heritage. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in German culture and history, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual life of Germany during a pivotal moment in its history.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
