Retraces Hölderlin's journeys to Bordeaux and back in 180102, explaining why they are turning points in the great poet's life.

2024 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title

In the winter of 180102, Friedrich Hölderlin traveled more than one thousand kilometers from his home near Stuttgart to Bordeaux, partly on foot, partly by post coach. It took him two months. Then, after four months serving as a tutor, he inexplicably decided to return home. Not long after he set out, his coach was held up by highwaymen, and, with no money, he had to walk the rest of the way. By the time he arrived, he was so disheveled and disoriented his friends did not recognize him. Though Hölderlin was just thirty-two years old, the trip marked the beginning of the end of his active life as one of Germany's greatest poets and thinkers.

With more than sixty black-and-white photographs by the author and eighteen historical route maps, Struck by Apollo follows Hölderlin to Bordeaux and back and beyond. David Farrell Krell retraces the journeys in striking detail, reflecting on their significance for Hölderlin's life and work in ways that will interest a wide swath of fellow thinkers and travelers.

Arvustused

"Traveling with a German neighbor affectionally called 'Joe,' Krell reconstructs and repeats Hölderlin's legendary trip from Nürtingen to Bordeaux and back again. Struck by Apollo is what I would call a philosophical picaresquea journey that prompts biographical, philosophical, and literary musings, as well as educated speculations and profound reflections. For lovers of Hölderlin, it is a sheer delight." Jason M.
