Informazioni sull'autore

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) was a towering figure in German literature and is considered one of the greatest literary minds of the modern era. Born in Frankfurt am Main, he was a polymath who made significant contributions to various fields including literature, science, and philosophy. Goethe's early work, 'The Sorrows of Young Werther' (1774), was a sensational success and is credited with initiating the Sturm und Drang (Storm and Stress) literary movement, characterized by emotional turmoil and individualism. His later work, 'Faust,' is a dramatic masterpiece exploring the complexity of human existence, and it cemented his place in the literary pantheon. Through 'Classics for Christmas,' a compendium that often features pieces by esteemed authors including Goethe, readers are invited to revel in the spirit of the holidays while indulging in the works of literary giants. Goethe's literary style amalgamated elements of Romanticism, Classicism, and Realism, and his themes often revolved around humanism, self-development, and the quest for a deeper understanding of the universe. His legacy endures through the breadth and depth of his work, which continues to be studied and revered for its artistry and intellectual insight.
