This volume includes Feng Zhi's translation of "Chronology of Goethe", "Travel Notes in the Harz Mountains", "Songs from the Distance" and seven additional translations. "Chronology of Goethe" was compiled by German Biedmann and translated and annotated by Feng Zhi. It examines the life, experience and creative process of the great poet Goethe in detail, and shows the interactive relationship between the life and creation of a generation of literary giants. "Travel to the Harz Mountains" is Heine's early prose masterpiece. "Singing from the Distance" describes the story of villagers in a small Czech mountain village who learned about the Spanish Civil War through a radio and supported Spain in its anti-fascist struggle. Translations outside the collection include translations of various anthologies published by Feng Zhi but not included during his lifetime, including short stories, letters by Van Gogh, and Kierkegaard's musings.
