A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The 'madwoman' of the title is highly sought after - in fact a man's passion for her is shared, rather inconveniently, by his son, as both declare themselves her suitors. Her 'pilgrimage' is to relinquish their hold on her, which she does by implying a certain - rather indelicate - state of affairs. Her ploy works, and the resultant chaos and confusion for father and son create a brilliantly comic ending. The Madwoman on a Pilgrimage is accompanied by 'Who is the Betrayer?', in which a man's nocturnal monologues reveal rather more than he would wish, and a third tale where, again, erotic infidelity and inadvertent revelation go hand in hand.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Author of Faust and The Sorrows of Young Werther, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) is considered the founder of modern German literature.
