Il sogno
Se non fosse per le sue cicatrici e le strane foto che tappezzano le pareti del suo ufficio, si direbbe che Abigaël sia una donna come le altre. Se non fosse per i momenti in cui sprofonda nel mondo dei sogni, si giurerebbe che dica il vero. Ma Abigaël, la psicologa che tutti si contendono per risolvere i casi criminali più intricati, soffre di una grave narcolessia che le rende tutto più difficile.

A Companion to the Works of Heinrich Heine
As the most prominent German-Jewish Romantic writer, Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) became a focal point for much of the tension generated by the Jewish assimilation to German culture in a time marked by a growing emphasis on the shared ancestry of the German Volk. As both an ingenious composer of Romantic verse and the originator of modernist German prose, he defied nationalist-Romantic concepts of creative genius that grounded German greatness in an idealist tradition of Dichter und Denker. And as a brash, often reckless champion of freedom and social justice, he challenged not only the reactionary ruling powers of Restoration Germany but also the incipient nationalist ideology that would have...
