Books by Luise Victorine Ackermann

Luise Victorine Ackermann became the author of three volumes of poems: “Contes” (1855), “Contes et poésies” (1863), “Poésies, premières poésies, poésies philosophiques” (1874). She wrote beautiful poems, very musical, exciting and pinching. However, the poems by Luise Victorine Ackermann manifested her as a philosophical pessimist and an atheist. For example, it is shown in her poem “Revue des Deux Mondes” (the 15^th of May, 1874). The poetess openly declared her hatred of Christianity and its distinguished followers. She even published her work called “Thoughts of a Solitary”. Perhaps for that reason, she was called “the learned solitary of Nice”.
