Books with author Gottfried Keller

Excerpt from Legends of Long Ago (Sieben Legenden)Keller's townspeople are still fond of showing the favorite haunts of the old poet, who died in 1890, and of telling anecdotes of his kindly humor and genial bluntness. And well may, the people of Switzerland point to him with pride, for it was the Florentine day of their national art when two men whose names would have made famous any city in Christendom, Gottfried Keller and Arnold Bocklin, lived and wrought in a single Swiss town.The Sieben Legenden represents Keller at his best. Their naive ingenuousness, poetic charm, and quaint humor have made these legends a favorite book among German-speaking peoples the world over. They are offered here, for the first time in English, in the hope that this little volume may add to the enjoyment of many who love the whole some and the pure in literature.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
