PREFACE 

Paul  Heyse,  the  most  artistic  among  the  German  novel- 
ists  of  to-day,  was  born  in  Berlin,  March  15,  1830,  as  the 
son  of  the  well-known  lexicographer  and  grammarian,  Karl 
Wilhelm  Ludwig  Heyse.  He  studied  the  classic  and  Ro- 
mance  languages  and  literatures,  first  at  the  university  of  his 
native  city  and,  after  1849,  under  Diez  at  Bonn.  In  1852, 
having  obtained  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy,  he  trav- 
eled  through  Italy  to  examine  the  manuscripts  in  the  public 
libraries  of  Venice,  Florence,  and  Rome.  Upon  a  call  of  King 
Maximilian  II.  of  Bavaria,  he  settled  in  Munich  in  1854,  de- 
voting  himself  exclusively  to  literature.  He  still  lives  at  the 
capital  of  Bavaria. 

When  only  twenty  years  of  age,  Paul  Heyse  wrote  in  verse 
the  tragedy  "Francesca  von  Rimini"  and  the  epics  "Die  Brüder11 
and  "  Urica"  and  in  1852  and  '53  the  "Idyllen  von  Sorrent." 
Since  then,  year  after  year,  his  name  has  been  brought  before 
the  public  by  his  clever  romances  ("Kinder  der  Welt,"  1873, 
"Im  Paradiese,"  1875),  and  especially  by  a  long  series  of 
novelettes,  all  of  which  have  enjoyed  great  popularity  and 
high  commendation  for  their  neat  construction  and  elegant 
style.  Gostwick  and  Harrison,  the  widely  known  English 
critics  on  German  Literature,  say  of  Paul  Heyse: 

"He  is  one  of  the  few  modern  German  writers  who  artistic- 
ally  keep  the  novel  within  its  own  proper  limits,  as  distinct 
from  the  wider  boundary  line  of  the  romance.  V Arrabbiata 
may  be  named  as  one  of  his  best  works  in  prose  fiction."  — 

The  publication  of  this  school  edition  of  "  U  Arrabbiata"  was 
suggested  by  the  fact  that  a  few  years  ago  the  New  England 


Commission  on  Textbooks  for  Preparatory  Schools  recom- 
mended  Paul  Heyse's  short  stories  as  pre-eminently  suitable 
for  students  of  German  preparing  for  entrance  to  College.

Editorial  Note  to  Revised  Edition 

This  revision  is  made,  at  the  request  of  Dr.  Bernhardt's 
publishers,  in  order  to  embody  such  changes  as  have  become 
necessary  in  the  twenty  years  since  the  book  first  appeared. 
Special  erlort  has  been  made  to  get  the  best  possible  text. 
The  latest  Cotta  edition  (the  i2th,  1910)  was  used  —  with  its 
orthography  revised  according  to  the  last  (191 1)  issue  of 
Duden's  Orthographisches  Wörterbuch.  The  revision  of  the 
notes  attempts  to  give  the  Student  the  help  he  needs,  without 
doing  his  work  for  him,  and  pays  special  attention  to  particles 
and  other  idiomatic  words  and  phrases  which  so  often  dis- 
courage  even  the  most  earnest  beginner.  In  the  vocabulary, 
missing  words  have  been  added,  declensions  indicated,  and 
definitions  carefully  revised.  The  conversation  and  com- 
positum exercises  have  been  changed  only  slightly,  because 
the  teacher  who  uses  such  suggested  forms  at  all  always 
changes  them  anyhow  to  suit  the  needs  of  his  class.  Dr. 
Bernhardt's  preface,  as  his  own  personal  word  to  his  readers, 
appears  just  as  he  left  it.

I.  Based  on  fiage  3. —  1.  Have  you  heard  of  (bon)  the  city 
[of]  Naples  at-the  foot  of  (-the)  Vesuvius,  and  of  (bon)  the 
beautiful  bay1  of  Naples?  2.  Twenty-seven  miles  from  Naples 
[there]  lies  on  the  sea-coast2  the  town  [of]  Sorrento,  where  on 
(-the)  nth  [of]  March,  1544,  the  great  poet  Tasso  was3  born 

3.  Poor  fishermen  live4  in  the  small  houses  on  the  coast  from 
Naples  to  Sorrento.  4.  Early  in-the5  morning,  before6  the 
sun  rises,  you  can  see  them  at  (the)  work7  on  the  water  and 
along8  the  shore.  5.  Old  and  young  men  and  wömen  pull 
ashore  the  boats  which  come-back  from  (-the)  fishing  on  the 
sea.  6.  Others  put-up9  the  sail-yards,  or  set  the  saus,  or  make 
the  boats  ready.  7.  One  morning  (gen.)  in-the  spring10  of-the 
year  18  .  .,n  before6  the  sun  had  risen,  a  young  curate  from 
the  town  [of]  Sorrento  walked  down  to-the  boat-landing  below 
the  high,  rocky  shore,  and  entered  a  boat  which  belonged12  to 
(-the)  Antonino  Ghiselli,  a  (dat.)  young  fisherman  of  Sorrento. 
8.  Antonino  or  Tonino,  as  his  friends  called  him,  had-to13  take 
the  young  priest  over  to  the  island  [of]  Capri,  ten  miles  from 
the  town  [of]  Sorrento.

II.  Based '  on  fiage  4. —  1.  The  curate  was  a  young,  friendly- 
looking  man  of  (bon)  not  more  than  twenty-five  or  thirty 
years.  2.  The  fishermen  loved  him.  3.  When  he  arrived1  at 
the  boat-landing,  they  dropped  their  work,  took-off2  their 
caps,  and  greeted  him  with  a  "Good  morning."  4.  A  little 
girl  who  stood  with  her  grandmother  on  the  flat  roof  of-one 
of-the  small  houses  near3  the  water,  asked  the  old  woman:

42  ENGLISH    EXERCISES 

"Why  has  our  father  curate  to  go  to  Capri,  grandmother? 
Have  they  no  priests  over  there4  on5  the  island?"  5.  "What 
a  silly  girl  you  (bu)  are!"  the  old  woman  replied;  "the  people 
in  Capri  have  more  priests  and  larger  and  finer  churches  than 
we  have  in  our  town.  6.  No;  there  (e§)  was  a  rieh  and  prom- 
inent American-lady6  here  last  winter  (acc),  who  became  so 
ill7  that  all  (pl.)  thought  she  would  die;  and  therefore8  our 
father  curate  went  to  her  with  the  last  sacrament.  7.  But 
the  Holy  Virgin helped  her  (dat.).  8.  When she had recovered, 
she  gave  five  hundred  and  twenty-five  ducats  to  our  church, 
and  twelve  hundred  and  seventy-five  dollars9  to  the  poor 
people  of  our  town.  9.  Fromhere  she  then  went  to  Capri; 
but  before  she  left  Sorrento,  our  father  curate  promised  that 
he  would  come  and  see  her  on  the  island.  10.  And  to-day  he 
goes  to  Capri,  that  she  may  confess  (to-)  him.  n.  Yes,  he 
is  a  great  man,  our  father  curate,  as  great  as  an  archbishop. 
12.  May  the  Holy  Virgin  be  with  him!"

III.  Based  on  fiage  j.  —  1.  Meanwhile1  the  curate  had 
entered  Antonino's  boat  and  had  seated  himself  on  the  wooden 
bench.  2.  "Put-off  from  the  shore,  my  son,  and  let  us  go, 
that  we  may  arrive  at2  the  island  before  it  becomes  too 
warm,"  he  said  to  (ju)  the  young  fisherman.  3.  Just  then3  a 
girl  came  hurriedly  down  the  stone-steps  which  lead  from  the 
town  [of]  Sorrento  to  the  boat-landing.  4.  "Are  you  (bu) 
waiting4  for  her?"  asked  the  priest.  5.  "Yes,  Reverend  Sir, 
if  you  will  permit  me;  I  think  she,  too,  wants  to  go  to  Capri." 
6.  She  was  a  beautiful  girl  of  eighteen  years,  with  black  eyes 
and  [with]  heavy  braids  of  dark  hair  which  she  wore  like  a 
diadem  wound-around  over  her  forehead.  But  she  was  very 
poorly  dressed.  7.  The  girl's  name  was  Laura;  her  friends 
called  her  Laurella,  but  the  young  men  of-the  town  had  given

her  (dat.)  the  name  "L'Arrabbiata,"  on  account  of  her  sullen

IV.  Basedon  fiage  6.  —  i.  When  the  girl  had  come  nearer, 

the  curate  greeted1  her:  "Good  morning,  Laurella!"  he  said; 

"how  are  you  (bu)?     Do  you  want  to  go  with  us  to  Capri?" 

2.  "Yes,  Father,  if  it  is  permitted  to  go  with  you."     3.  "You 

must  ask  Antonino,"  replied  the  curate;  "he  is  the  owner2 

and  master  of-the  boat."     4.  Then  she  opened  her  right  hand, 

in  which  she  had  a  small  piece-of-money,3  and  asked:  "Can  I 

go  along  for  half  a  Carlin?"     5.  "I  do  not  want4  your  (beut) 

money;5  you  (bu)  need  it  more  than  I,"  the  young  fisherman 

muttered  between  his  teeth.     6.  "But  I  do  not  want  to  go  for 

nothing,"  she  retorted  with  quivering  lips6  and   eyebrows. 

7.  "Get  in-here,  my  child,"  said  the  priest  kindly,  "and  sit- 

down  by-my-side,  where  Tonino,  that  good  boy,  has  already 

put-down  his  jacket  to  make7  the  hard  bench  more  comfort-

have  there  under  your  arm?"  5.  "It  is  silk,  Father,  which 
I  have  spun  and  which  I  have-to5  seil  to  a  woman  in  Capri,

the  girl:  "Why  did  the  young  men  at  the  boat-landing  call 
you  V 'Arrabbiata,  when  you  came  down  to  the  shore?  That 
is  not  the  best  name  for  a  young  girl.  Are  you  not  a  good 
Christian-girl,  and  as  meek  and  modest  as  a  good  Christian 
ought  to  be?"  2.  With  flashing  eyes  the  girl  replied:  "They 
have  no  reason1  to  call  nie  so.  It  is  no  fault-of-mine.2  They 
are-teasing3  me,  because  I  am  not  like  other  girls;  but  I  do 
nothing  to  them.  I  let  them  alone;  why  do  they  not  let  me 
alone,  too?  That  is  all  I  want  of  (bort)  them."  3.  Then 
[there]  was  another  pause.  4.  After  a  long  while  the  curate 
asked  again:  "Howold  areyounow,  Laurella?"  5.  "Eighteen 
years  and  three  months,"  was  the  reply.  6.  "And  how  old 
were  you  when  that  artist  from  Naples  came  to  Sorrento  to 
paint  yourpicture?"  7.  "That  was  t wo  years  ago."4  8.  "Why 
did  you  not  allow5  him  (dat)  to  make  that  picture?"  9.  "There 
((£§)  was  no  good  reason  that  he  should  make  it.  There  are

VOCABULARY 


In  this  vocabulary  the  genitive  singular  of  masculine  and  neuter  nouns  is  assumed 
to  end  in  -g  or  -e§  unless  otherwise  given.  The  nominative  plural  of  feminines 
ends  in  -(e)tt  or-mn,  and  that  of  masculines  and  neuters  in  -e  unless  given  differ- 
ently  —  except  in  the  case  of  masculine  and  neuter  plurals  identical  with  the  nomi- 
native singular  ;  these  are  not  noted. 

The  parts  of  speech  are  usually  so  clear  from  the  meaning  that  only  doubtful 
cases  and  double  use  are  indicated. 

Vowel  changes  in  the  principal  parts  of  strong  verbs  are  indicated  ;  e.g.  fefjett, 
a,  e,  means  fefjen,  faß,  gefeiert. 

The  adverbial  sense  of  adjectives  is  usually  not  given  ;  the  Student  can  so  easily 
get  it  for  himself . 

Adjectives  and  participles  used  as  nouns  are  capitalized  and  marked  adj  (ective) 
<&<r/(ension). 

The  accents  given  may  be  helpful  in  pronunciation.  The  common  abbreviations 
are  used.  An  accent  indicates  the  separable  prefixes.  ■"■  indicates  umlaut  in  de- 
clension.
