Abstract

The experience of exile is often the hard experience of life abroad. But Heinrich Heine’s long and final exile in Paris was not characterized by the desire to return home and is, therefore, unusual in the history of German exile. The fascination for the metropolis of Paris and an extraordinary ability to adapt to new circumstances prevented the emergence of nostalgia and the result was a successful mediation between the French and German culture.
