GERMAN LANGUAGE
Green Henry (German: Der Grüne Heinrich) is a partially autobiographical novel by the Swiss author Gottfried Keller, first published in 1855, and extensively revised in 1879. Truth is freely mingled with fiction, and there is a generalizing purpose to exhibit the psychic disease that affected the whole generation of the transition from romanticism to realism in life and art. The work stands with Adalbert Stifter's Der Nachsommer as one of the two most important examples of a Bildungsroman (Coming of age story).
