The Campaner Thal, and Other Writings

DISCOURSES ON THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SOUL.

Juliette Bauer translation

TRANSLATED BY JULIETTE BAUER.

"Report also, we regret to say, is all that we know of the Campaner Thal, one of Richter's beloved topics, or rather the life of his whole philosophy, glimpses of which look forth on us from almost every one of his writings. He died while engaged, under recent and almost total blindness, in enlarging and remodelling this Campaner Thal. The unfinished manuscript was borne upon his coffin to the burial vault; and Klopstock's hymn, Auferstehen wirst du! 'Thou shalt arise, my soul!' can seldom have been sung with more appropriate application than over the grave of Jean Paul."--From Carlyle's Miscellanies.
