Synopsis
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) was an exceptionally prolific and versatile writer. As a student, he composed pastoral plays in the style of the waning Rococo. With Goetz of Berlichingen of the Iron Hand, a drama conceived in the spirit of Shakespeare, he joined the avant-garde Sturm und Drang (Storm and Stress) authors. At twenty-five he wrote the epistolary novel Sorrows of Young Werther, eliciting fervent responses among those who rejected the traditions of the Enlightenment. In his tragedy Faust, which evolved over a sixty-year period and for which he is best known, he created a prototype of the Romantic hero. His lyric poetry has been translated into many languages. A scientist active in various fields, including botany and the theory of colours, he pondered aspects of evolution well before Darwin. Based on his studies in literary theory he developed a concept of world literature that he hoped would foster communication among writers of different nations.

Goethe (Paperback)

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (17491832) was one of the greatest thinkers of the modern age: a world-famous writer, scientist, and statesman, his influence was already far-reaching during his lifetime, and his literary and intellectual legacy continues to reverberate throughout contemporary culture. In this book, newly updated, Peter Boerner, a highly respected authority on Goethe, presents the definitive short biography of this extraordinary figure. An exceptionally prolific and versatile writer, Goethe produced important works covering a range of genres. As a young man, he composed pastoral plays in the style of the waning Rococco, was an early proponent of the avant-garde Sturm und Drang movement, and became a literary superstar with The Sorrows of Young Werther, in which a young mans unrequited love culminates in tragedy. In his classic play Faust, which evolved over a sixty-year period, he created one of the best-known versions of the legend and introduced the prototype of the romantic hero. A scientist active in various fields, including botany and the theory of colors, Goethe also pondered issues of evolution well before Darwin. In Boerners illustrated biography, Goethes impressive oeuvre comes to vibrant life. A major contribution to the English-language literature on Goethe, this is a beautiful and accessible introduction to one of historys foremost geniuses. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is recognised as a giant of world literature; an exceptionally prolific and versatile writer. This heavily-illustrated biography by one of the world's foremost Goethe scholars is an ideal introduction to seminal figure in literary history.
