Über den Autor
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) was a colossus of German literature and one of the preeminent figures of German Classicism. His work spans the realms of poetry, drama, prose, philosophy, and science. An adept in art as well as a natural scientist, Goethe's literary creations reflect his diverse interests and profound understanding of human nature. Perhaps best known for his tragic play 'Faust', he explores the struggle of the human spirit and the quest for knowledge, embodying the Romantic ideal of a comprehensive world view through literature. Goethe's 'The Sorrows of Young Werther' became an important part of the Sturm und Drang movement and made him famous throughout Europe. Among his other celebrated works are 'Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship', a foundational Bildungsroman, and 'Elective Affinities', a novel probing the complexities of human relationships. Goethe's versatile literary style encompasses classical and innovative elements. His Faustian and Wertherian themes have influenced numerous writers and have solidified his place as a pivotal literary figure. While 'The Masterpieces You Should Read Before You Die' may not be directly penned by Goethe, it undoubtedly contains references to his essential contributions to the world's literary treasury.
