Heyse verfasste auch eine der spannendsten Schriftsteller-Autobiographien des 19. Jahrhunderts. Der Dichter, selbst ein Prominenter, der viel in den arrivierten Kreisen verkehrte, lieferte in den Jugenderinnerungen und Bekenntnissen genau beobachtete Charakteristiken der berühmtesten Männer seiner Zeit. Hier finden sich unter anderem literarische Porträts der Freunde Adolph Menzel und Emanuel Geibel, Theodor Fontane und Hermann Kurz, Ernst Wichert und Ludwig Laistner. Ähnlich wie Goethe in Dichtung und Wahrheit hielt auch Heyse sich nicht mit privaten Episoden auf, sondern legte, im Bewusstsein seiner öffentlichen Rolle, eine als allgemeingültig zu verstehende Bilanz des 19. Jahrhunderts vor. Diese Erzählung seines Lebens ist zugleich eines der aufschlussreichsten Dokumente über die Verhältnisse im alten Berlin und München.
Die alte Tante erzählt die Geschichte eines ganz besonderen Rings, den sie in Ehren hält, und zu dem eine Liebesgeschichte gehört – eine Liebe zu einem jüngeren Mann, die gesellschaftlich skandalös gewesen wäre. Und an der sie nur bedauert, daß es nichts zu bedauern gibt.

In Paradise is one of the best-known novels by the German writer and translator Paul Heyse first published in 1875. Excerpt: "On slender pedestals stood a multitude of figures, most of them of half life-size, such as are used for the decoration of Catholic churches, chapels and cemeteries. Some of them were just begun, some were almost finished works; and in all could be clearly recognized the hands of the pupils who had their execution in charge–sometimes more and sometimes less skillfully imitating the little original models, barely six inches high, that stood on small shelves beside the copies. While the latter were neatly cut in sandstone or in the cheaper marbles–and a few in wood, decorated with all manner of painting and gilding–the little models were in plaster, and spotted and nicked by constant use. Yet these doll-like little madonnas, saints and apostles, and praying and playing angels in their heavy draperies, had a certain odd and now and then almost caricatured life-likeness–so great that not all of its charm was lost, even in the dry copies made by the assistants. They had something of the same element of humor that Ariosto gives to his personages–which by no means lose in life or force because their author has lost his own simple faith in them."
