著者について

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) stands as a towering figure in the pantheon of world literature. An illustrious German author, Goethe's multifaceted career spanned the realms of poetry, drama, literature, theology, humanism, and science. His magnum opus, 'Faust', remains a seminal work in the Western canon, capturing a lifelong search for knowledge and enlightenment. Goethe's literary style is marked by its use of beautiful lyricism, depth of psychological insight, and the exploration of nature's role in human life. His first novel, 'The Sorrows of Young Werther' (1774), was a defining text of the Sturm und Drang movement and is credited with influencing the later Romantic literary movement. Goethe's oeuvre encompasses a vast range of genres which reflects his intellectual breadth and depth. 'Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship', a bildungsroman which pioneered the genre, further cements his role as a key literary figure. Goethe's output as a writer, thinker, and cultural critic was immense, and his ideas on art and literature continue to resonate. Although the book '90 World Classics You Should Read Before You Die (Vol.2)' is not among his original titles but rather a compilation that could include his influential works, it can serve as evidence of Goethe's enduring legacy and the continued admiration for his contributions to global literature.
