Meer : Die weite See, das Ziel deutscher Sehnsucht, wie es lockt und schreckt

A richly compiled anthology gathers the voices of nineteenth‑century German poets as they turn their gaze toward the restless sea. From stirring verses that liken the horizon to a promise of destiny to reverent odes that recall vanished empires beneath the waves, the collection weaves myth, history and personal longing into a single tide. Familiar names such as Eich­endorff, Hebbel and Leuthold appear alongside lesser‑known hymn‑like chants, each preserved in a faithful rendering of the original typeset, complete with the occasional italicized flourish.

Listening brings the ocean’s pulse to life: gull‑filled breezes, the creak of rigging, and the hush of deep‑water silence echo through the speakers. The poems invite listeners to contemplate both the awe‑inspiring power of nature and the inner currents of desire that have driven travelers for generations. Ideal for anyone drawn to lyrical storytelling, maritime romance, or the timeless echo of German verse.
