Lichtstrahlen aus seinen Briefen
(Glimpses of Light from his Letters) presents a carefully curated collection of letters from the esteemed Wilhelm von Humboldt. This fifth edition offers readers an intimate look into Humboldt's thoughts and relationships, as revealed through his correspondence with a female friend, Frau von Wolzogen, Schiller, G. Forster, and F.A. Wolf.
The letters provide valuable insights into the intellectual and social circles of the late 18th and early 19th centuries in Germany. Humboldt's reflections on philosophy, literature, and contemporary events offer a rich tapestry of Enlightenment-era thought. This edition, compiled by Elisa Maier, makes Humboldt's illuminating correspondence accessible to a wide audience, showcasing the enduring relevance of his ideas and the power of personal connection through the written word.
