Ved overgangen til det nittende århundrede strømmede en række unge tyske digtere og tænkere til den lille by Jena for at skrive historie. Med inspiration fra Goethe, som på dette tidspunkt ikke længere var helt ung, nytænkes litteraturen og filosofien af navne som Schelling, Tieck, Novalis og brødrene Schlegel.Peter Neumann nøjes ikke med at fremstille tidens filosofi og digtning. Han levendegør med vid og elegance også de mere farverige historier om denne bemærkelsesværdige samling af genier – og det inkluderer blandt andet intriger og intimiteter, venskaber og strid.Bogen er ligesom den beslægtede Wolfram Eilenbergers bøger forsynet med sort/hvide illustrationer.

"An exhilarating account of a remarkable historical moment, in which characters known to many of us as immutable icons are rendered as vital, passionate, fallible beings . . . Lively, precise, and accessible." -Claire Messud, Harper's MagazineAt the turn of the nineteenth century, a steady stream of young German poets and thinkers coursed to the town of Jena to make history. In the wake of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, confidence in traditional social, political, and religious norms had been replaced by a profound uncertainty that was as terrifying for some as it was exhilarating for others. Nowhere was the excitement more palpable than among the extraordinary group of poets, philosophers, translators, and socialites who gathered in Jena.This village of just four thousand residents soon became the place to be for the young and intellectually curious in search of philosophical disruption. Influenced by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, then an elder statesman and artistic eminence, the leading figures among the disruptors-the translator August Wilhelm Schlegel; the philosophers Friedrich Schlegel and Friedrich Schelling; the dazzling, controversial intellectual Caroline Schlegel, married to August; the poet and translator Dorothea Schlegel, married to Friedrich; and the poets Ludwig Tieck and Novalis-resolved to rethink the world, to establish a republic of free spirits. They didn't just question inherited societal traditions; with their provocative views of the individual and of nature, they revolutionized our understanding of freedom and reality.With wit and elegance, Peter Neumann brings this remarkable circle of friends and rivals to life in Jena 1800, a work of intellectual history that is colorful and passionate, informative and intimate-as fresh and full of surprises as its subjects.
