Volume 1 includes the works and folk songs of Goethe, Holderlin, Heine, Nietzsche, Georg, Rilke, Brecht and other poets translated by Mr. Feng Zhi. Goethe is the most famous representative of Weimar classicism. This book includes his most famous poems such as "Prometheus" and excerpts from "Faust", as well as the translator's representative research work "A Brief Interpretation of Thirteen Goethe's Poems". Heine was an important German poet in the 19th century. This volume includes "Selected Poems of Heine", the long poem "Germany, a Winter's Fairy Tale" and "Eight Poems from the Collection". Brecht, Holderlin, and Nietzsche are best known as dramatists or philosophers, but their poems also contain profound meanings. Georg is one of the five greatest German poets in the 20th century, and Rilke is a great German poet in the 20th century. He created the pinnacle of modern poetry and deeply influenced several generations of Chinese poets. Volume two includes "Ten Letters to a Young Poet" and "Aesthetic Education Letters". The former is a letter written by Rilke to a young poet when he was about thirty years old. In his letter, he talked about the many doubts and sorrows faced by young people: poetry and art, love between the sexes, seriousness and cynicism, sorrow and doubt, difficulties in life and career, revealing the profound nature of aesthetics, faith, loneliness, love, sorrow and other topics. The latter are 27 letters written by Schiller to the Duke of Augustenburg in Denmark between 1793 and 1794. In the context of the French Revolution, Schiller based on Kant's principles, profoundly analyzed many topics in aesthetics, and believed that in order to reform the country and gain political freedom, we must first improve the character of the times and restore the integrity of human nature. Political issues must be solved through aesthetic issues. Only through beauty can people move toward freedom. Volume three is Goethe's novel "The Studying Times of Wilhelm Meister". William Meister is a passionate young man full of ideals and vitality. He was born in a citizen class family, but he is dissatisfied with the mediocrity and profit-seeking of the citizen class. He hopes to transform society through dramatic art and aesthetic education, and falls in love with the actress Mariana. After a misunderstanding with Mariana, William wanders around and meets all kinds of people. William initially sought the art of drama, but eventually acquired the art of life, becoming a seeker who constantly pursues the perfection of human nature and lofty social ideals. Volume 4 includes Feng Zhi's translation of "Chronology of Goethe", "Travel Notes in the Harz Mountains", "Songs from the Distance" and seven other translations from the collection. "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.

The Book of Songs (volume 1)

Before Legge, the linguist Sir William Jones (Sir W. Jones) had translated the Book of Songs in the 18th century. Legge also drew from it in the process of translating the Book of Songs. However, Sir William Jones's translation was rather borrowed from the title and was not a faithful reproduction of the Book of Songs. The "faithfulness" that translation emphasizes is by no means equal to "one-to-one correspondence." As far as poetry translation is concerned, it is not difficult to achieve the standard of "faithfulness", but to achieve "faithfulness", "expression" and "elegance" at the same time is simply as difficult as climbing to the sky. What is even more insurmountable is the gap of "meter".

A swift and violent autumn wind howled in the woods outside the door. Countless dead leaves clinging to the big trees were pitifully blown off by the wind, and then lifted up into the clouds, flying all over the sky. The hunters finished their dinner without taking off their leather boots. Their faces were flushed and they were in high spirits. These people were half nobles, half squires, and half farmers from the province of Normandy. They were wealthy, physically strong, and strong enough to break the horns of cows squatting in the market. They had spent a whole day hunting in the mountain farm owned by Bailong Duier, the village chief of Aiba Township, and were now eating around a big table in the villa-like farm. The owner of the farm was their host. They roared and talked, laughed like wild animals, stretched out their necks without restraint, rested their elbows on the tablecloth, their eyes wide open under the lamplight, and their bodies were heated by a huge furnace that spit out a bloody gleam to the ceiling; all they talked about was hunting and hunting dogs.
