关于此电子书

In "The Collected Works," Johann Wolfgang von Goethe presents an extensive anthology that encapsulates his prodigious literary output, weaving together poetry, prose, and drama. Goethe's literary style is marked by a remarkable blend of Romantic and Enlightenment ideals, showcasing a deep exploration of human emotion and nature. The collection includes works such as "Faust" and "The Sorrows of Young Werther," which are characterized by their innovative narrative techniques and rich psychological depth, reflecting the cultural milieu of 18th and early 19th-century Europe, a period marked by profound intellectual and artistic transformation. Goethe, a key figure in the Sturm und Drang movement and later a pioneer of Weimar Classicism, drew upon his own diverse experiences—including his travels and philosophical inquiries—to shape his literary vision. His formative years, spent in the vibrant cultural landscape of Germany, allowed him to engage deeply with themes of individuality, love, and existential dilemma, themes that resonate throughout his collected works. I highly recommend "The Collected Works" to both scholars and casual readers alike, as it offers invaluable insights into the human condition and serves as a cornerstone for understanding modern literature. Each piece not only invites readers into Goethe's introspective world but also challenges them to reflect on their own experiences and emotions.

作者简介

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) remains one of the towering figures in German literature. His literary output encompasses a wide range of genres, including poetry, drama, and prose. Goethe was born in Frankfurt am Main and received a broad education, including studies in law at Leipzig and Strasbourg. His early fame was secured with the publication of 'The Sorrows of Young Werther' (1774), a seminal work of the Sturm und Drang movement, vividly capturing the inner turmoil and romantic longings of its protagonist. Goethe's oeuvre, however, cannot be confined to a single period or style. His 'Faust', a two-part dramatic work, represents a profound exploration of human striving and redemption and is frequently cited as one of the greatest achievements of German literature. Throughout his life, Goethe was also deeply involved in the sciences and arts, maintaining a long correspondence with Schiller and encroaching upon philosophy and aesthetics with his 'Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship', a bildungsroman that delved into the formation of artistic and personal identity. 'The Collected Works' of Goethe reveal a polymath's vision, a literary corpus that reflects the Enlightenment's spirit of inquiry and the Romantic era's depth of feeling. His works have continued to influence writers, thinkers, and artists long after his death, proving Goethe to be an enduring figure whose contributions to literature and culture remain relevant and revered.
