Excerpt from Hochzeit Auf Capri The most noted and talented writer of the so-called Munich Circle is Paul' Heyse. Born in Berlin in 1830, Heyse received his first instruction from his father, the well-known philologist and lexicographer. At the early age of twenty-two he took his doctor's degree at Bonn, and then spent a year in Italy. Meanwhile he had already attracted attention by his writings, and on his return to his native land, in 1854, the art-loving Maximilian II invited him to come to Munich to live, and granted him a pension. He was warmly welcomed by the poets and artists of the metropolis of southern Germany, and in this congenial atmosphere most of his works were written. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for the year 1910. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
