Ein transatlantisches Pionierwerk, erstmals wieder zugänglich: Longfellows berühmter Reiseroman prägte das Deutschlandbild in Amerika.Nie zuvor war vor den Augen des amerikanischen Publikums ein so buntes literarisches Panorama von Deutschland ausgebreitet worden: Der Roman »Hyperion« ist eines der wirkungsmächtigsten Werke für die Vermittlung der deutschen Kultur und Literatur in der englischsprachigen Welt. Im Jahr 1835 war Henry Wadsworth Longfellow für mehrere Monate durch Mitteleuropa gereist. Mit zahlreichen autobiografischen Parallelen schildert sein Roman die Reise des jungen Amerikaners Paul Flemming durch Deutschland, die Schweiz und Tirol - eine Reise auch durch die Landschaften der deutschen Literatur und Philosophie der Romantik.Mit der Veröffentlichung dieses Deutschlandromans begann Longfellows Ruhm. Bald zählte er auf beiden Seiten des Atlantiks zu den meistgelesenen amerikanischen Autoren. Die romantische Erzählung von »Hyperions« Wanderjahren prägte auf lange Zeit das Deutschlandbild in Amerika und spiegelte dem deutschen Publikum das eigene Land im Blick des transatlantischen Beobachters. Lisa Kunzes Edition, mit zeitgenössischen Illustrationen und einführenden Kommentaren versehen, macht dieses Schlüsselwerk erstmals wieder zugänglich.
