Apie autorių

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) stands as a towering figure in the field of literature, revered for his contributions across various genres including poetry, drama, and prose. His magnum opus, 'Faust,' is widely seen as a pinnacle of German literature and reflects Goethe's exploration of human desire and striving. Equally renowned is 'The Sorrows of Young Werther,' a novel that sparked the Sturm und Drang movement and caused a literary sensation across Europe. Goethe's works portray a profound understanding of human nature and often incorporate his reflections on art, science, and philosophy, exemplified by his novel 'Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship' and his poetry collection 'West-Östlicher Divan.' His literary style combines classical motifs with romantic sentiment, infusing his works with both intellectual depth and emotional resonance. Beyond his literary achievements, Goethe's scientific inquiries, although less celebrated, also demonstrate his diverse intellect, as he delved into topics such as plant morphology and color theory. The Harvard Classics collection, often referred to as Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf, includes seminal writings by Goethe, emphasizing his enduring influence on Western thought and culture. As a central figure of German literature and a key contributor to the Western canon, Goethe's prolific output and legacy continue to inspire readers and scholars worldwide.
