Summary
Born into a Jewish family in Düsseldorf, Heine studied law at Bonn, Göttingen, and then Berlin, where he joined the salon of Rahel Varnhagen; there he met Alexander von Humboldt, Bettina von Arnim, Adelbert von Chamisso, and other luminaries. His first book was Poems (Gedichte, 1822), but his Book of Songs (Buch der Lieder, 1827), which gathered many of his earlier poems, made his reputation as a poet and is still regarded as his major work. Despite his new fame he left Germany in 1831 and settled in Paris for good, making a precarious living writing for journals in both Germany and France. In 1835 his works were banned for political reasons in most states of Germany.
